Mirror, mirror - Who is the Cutest?

Many times when I think of my Nestabilities I think of card making. Today I wanted to show you how they do work well with scrapooking also. When I started this layout I thought I would use the Big Scalloped Circles as a template for my journaling. Then I thought they would also make great clouds. But, what fit best in my layout was to make them look like a mirror. I used the largest one as a frame and the next size as the mirror. I put my daughter's initials on the mirror so that she is the answer to the question. Of course, I am totally biased!

Excited for SU Pre-Order

Woo Hoo! I got some of my Pre-Order stuff last week, but I have some more & some clearance rack stuff arriving today! I can't wait!! Come on little brown truck!! :)

Medallion card - inspired by Vicki

Thanks for the inspiration, Vicki!! I need to use this stamp more. Very Vanilla card stock & Rich Razzleberry ink & ribbon. I used lots of flat back pearls on this one, too!

Just for You

Here is a card I made for the cropstop sketch and challenge to use blue/yellow. I used a SU border punch, Crafts Too Butterflies folder, Swiss Dots folder, and SU's Butterfly sizzlet die. Card stock is all SU.

Father's Day Classic Truck card

I created this card for cropstop.blogspot.com. I am sure there are a few of you who, like me, still need to finish their Father's Day cards. I recently got this stamp and wanted to make my Father's Day cards this year with it. The shiny paper that I embossed with the Diamond Plate folder is actually out of a toy packaging my hubby asked if I could use it for something and I snatched it right up!! Little did he know I intended to use it on his card! The truck image is embossed in black and colored in with Red Pepper alcohol ink. I used one of the cotton toppers to move the red where I wanted it. The silver accents are snaps and the sentiment is punched out. All of the red edges are inked in black.

5/13/10 Challenge

I would like to challenge you today to make a small inexpensive gift for someone. Sometimes just a little something really makes someone's day. So, brighten someone's day today and make them a fun little gift. Here are some ideas to get you started.

The first set is a bookmark I made to go with the teacher Thank You cards you saw the other day. These are made with 4" paper clips.

The second project is a metal piece of roof flashing. I saw this idea on a message board and had to try it myself. This one is for my daughter. I used my Bind-It-All corner rounder to round the metal edges & my Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes for the ribbon hanger. The little flower magnets I actually found on clearance at a big box store for .79 for 8 of them. Of course, I had to add the white dots and the skittles/Dew Drops to the centers. I have seen some really cute ones of these made with the Create-a Critter Cricut cart, too. I want to make a Robotz one for my son.

The turtle and monkey bookmarks were for my son's Kindergarten class. He helped me punch out all of the scallops it only took us 1-2 hours to make 20 of them. I love it when my kids want to help (most of the time)!

The little M&M baggies and toppers I gave to several people - the gals at the Post Office who are always so sweet, the neighbor girl who takes care of our dog while we are gone, and try to hide them from my kids! :)

Thanks for owl you do

It is that time of year again. School is out here in just 2 weeks. I made 2 of these for my kids' teachers. I used the Spellbinders newer Big Scalloped Ovals set for the sentiment. Make sure you check back on Thursday for my challenge that you will see some different pictures of this card along with some other items as well.
