Today's Efforts

Well today has been a mission... two kids up at the crack of dawn, ranging headache and a mission to clear out my drawers... so many clothes not enough space and half of them I don't wear so out they went.

After a nana nap I sat down to and made a card...

Coaster Gift Box

Last night I had a lovely bunch of ladies spend the evening with me creating these wonderful little gift boxes. You can fill them with a clear bag filled with goodies, one lady was going to use hers on her desk for her pens, I think I'm going to use it to store some of my Stampin' Up! goods. This class is also available on Thursday night this week for those that are interested in coming along to make your own.

Supplies Used:

Designer Series Paper - Certainly Celery (Retired)

Card Stock - Whisper White, Certainly Celery

Ribbon - Certainly Celery, Old Olive

Ink - Staz On Black

Stamp Set - Echoes of Kindness

Others - Craft Glue & Cardboard Coasters

Corrosive Challenge #8

I've decided to join in on one challenge a week from different websites, this week I decided to join Corrosive Challenge's opportunty... http://www.corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/ which requires you to design a card where a sentiment is the main focal point. I also loved a previous challenge on Mojo Monday so decided to use that layout for my card http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/

Unfortuantely I'm still only a newbie when it comes to Stampin' Up! gear so I haven't gotten alot of punches and I had major doubt on my hand skills of cutting out a scallop circle... but this is what I came up with... I love this sentiment, perfect for Mother Day

Echoes of Kindness

I really love this stamp set, and can't wait to get my markers so I can colour the flowers and steams in before stamping the image onto my cardstock.
