Yippee - the Pinwheel Album is finally done.

It seemed like a long never ending project,

but I've finished the first pinwheel album.

It was fun and I think perhaps I'll try

another in a while - maybe with

a travel theme since I have another

cruise coming up next month.

 

Anyway - here are the photos

with the pages and tags

"blinged up".

 

I used stick on pearls and rhinestones

from Stampin' Up - some jewels from

Bo Bunny, Darice, ZVA Creative along
with some unknowns

that I had in my stash...

I also highlighted some of the

flowers and swirls with a

glittery Gelly Roll pen. (that

part didn't come out well in the photos)

 

 

 

The only thing left to add is photos!

Hope you enjoyed the journey.

 

Stay tuned..........

 



 

 

 

Post Black Friday

I've survived another Black Friday - actually it wasn't really bad at all.

Mostly because I don't get up in the middle of the night for those

major deals LOL...    I'm happy with my regular sale things

and shop later in the day - works for me as I'm not looking

for any of those big ticket items.

 

Anyway - more CAS cards to share. 

Keeping it simple as they all have to go in the mail.

 

 

This little snowman can't quite get a grip on his skating abilities.

He's from Whipper Snapper - colored with Copics and

highlighted with glitter - the embossing folder is Darice.

 

 

These trees are from Stampin' Up and I have resisted getting

them for a long time as I'm not a fan of the rest of the set....

They are really beautiful trees though.

They're both done by masking off an area - sponging, then stamping.

The bottom gold tree was embossed.

The Merry Christmas greeting is from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Inks used are Memento & Stampin' Up

 

I just love these little images from A Muse Art Stamps.

The little bird fits perfectly on top of the car.

Colored with Copics - highlighted with lots of

microfine glitter and popped onto a Spellbinder ornament die.

 

Hope you've enjoyed my keepin' it simple cards.

 

 



Gift Card Purses

Here are a couple of gift card purses for holding

either a gift card, candy or other small gift.

 Check under my Templates section to see the instructions for the purses.

They are so easy to make and look so elegant when finished.

 

I'm off to do my Black Friday shopping to find some things to fill these up!

 

I used the "bow maker" die from Sizzix - so so so so simple!!!

Just love the polka dot CS and the pretty lime green color. 

The bow and other parts are done with glitter paper from Recollections.

 

 

This one has a few different elements.  

Beautiful ribbon from SU

a Darice embossing folder

A pretty SU border punch

Dies from SU

Scor-tape and microfine glitter

and a silver star from an old stash recently found!

 

Hope you like them.

 

 



Black & White with a Pop of Pink

Here's my take on a beautiful card that my friend, June is doing a class on for our Paper Crafts group.  What a fun way to use those border/ribbon punches.  The panels are done with a Stampin' Up embossing folder.  I glammed it up a bit using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Black Ice glitter on 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and used a Spellbinder Blossom Die and a hot pink Shimmer Sheet for the flower and also dry embossed it with an embossing folder from Darice.  A couple of pearls, a magnet closure and voila!!!

  

Here's the inside of the card.  The greeting is from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Hope you enjoyed it!
