Many Thanks

A friend of mine is having a Surprize Birthday Party and the ones who scrap with her are making gifts she will use after the party.  I was given the task of making the thank you cards, 25 of them.  So I know her likes are red, hearts, and banners and her favorite is chevrons.  I had to think about this awhile and this is what I came up with.

I used punch number 906 with insert A.  http://www.justimaginecrafts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26_50&products_id=204

In the last picture you can see the chevrons on the top and bottom, it is red, the flower has a middle center of a red heart and last I even used the punch to make a banner ( just by trimming it after the dip in the chevron between the two points).  I can't wait to see her face next week.

I think I will make the gift pack for the cards like Bev showed us yesterday ( Saturday) and put half on each side.  The punches work in anyway you want them to, just takes some imagination.

Guest Designer over at Cupcards To Go

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to shout from the roof top that I am guest designer for the Month of May at Cupcards To Go  so come and check it out.  http://www.cupcardstogo.typepad.com
This is the kit I was lucky to work with.  It is really cute, especially the birdies.

It is called  "Devoted", go over and. Check it out.

Here are the cards I made with the kit and I still have paper left.

Like I said paper was left, so I made some gift tags.  This kit is very easy to create with.
Check out the site and hope to see you play the challenge.

May Flowers are the new challenge at Cards in Envy

May is here and we have a new challenge over at Cards in Envy.  The challenge deals with flowers, but remember they have to fit in the envelope and can't be lumpy or bumpy.  Last they must be the A2 size.  The challenge will start today until May 18th at 6PM Central Time.

Here is my example:

I used Jillibean Soup Paper and their epoxy buttons (love them because they are so flat and thin), Trendy Twine, and We 'R Memory Keepers letters.

I hope to see you come over and participate.  I know all of you have some kind of flat flowers you would love to use.

Have a great day everyone.
