Call or email me if you have questions or need information. See you soon!

Class of 2010

I did it! Well, she did it but I just made the Signature photo frame! This is the perfect idea for guests to sign at a graduation party/event and write their well wishes for the graduate. FYI- yes, this is my daughter, Christina and she is graduating in May. Woo hoo, 2 down and 1 to go! xoxo

To market, to market....

In case you are wondering where I create my projects and prepare for market days, I am posting a picture of my office, a.k.a. My Alley Shop. I love my office space but for those of you that really know me, you know that my brain wanders and works on several projects at multiple times and therefore, my "stuff" is actually all over the house! But this is where the actual "stuff" is stored and put neatly away (sometimes!) ;) xoxo!

Matchbook Post-Its

These were really cute and simple to make! They didn't even make it to Market! They sold super fast! I think I will do this at a stamp camp! What do you think? If I get enough response I will hold a class for this project. Leave a comment if you'd like to attend.

More Valentines Day Projects

Here are some more pictures of the mail boxes!

Valentines Day Projects and more!

Getting ready for Market Days was busy! I found some inexpensive tins and decorated them with stickers. I filled each one of them with a set of 8 blank note cards and matching envelopes! There were so many and I just loved everyone of them! I stamped the envelopes to match the cards. (The envelopes are plain french fry bags!) I hated to see them go....but $$$$ and then I got over it! Anyways, here they are.

Easter Card Swap

At our monthly SU meeting, we each make a card front to swap. This was mine and my inspiration was my Grandmother as purple is her favorite color- well actually lavender- but I thought that the color combination would be great for the card swap. Happy Easter!

Stamps: Dream a Little

Inks: Elegant Eggplant

CS: Perfect Plum, Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

Accessories: Stampin Pastels, Lg. Oval Scallop punch, crimper, ribbon, ticket punch

Daisy Wedding Favor

Some close friends are planning a wedding and they have navy blue as their color with a daisy flower as well. They asked me to come up with an inexpensive wedding favor they could use at the reception hall and this is what I came up with. It is a pillow box with an embossed flower and a daisy hot glued on top. Sheer ribbon with satin lining always addds an elegant, finished touch! Fill with your favorite candy or almonds and you're set to go! Enjoy!

Accessories: Big Shot, embossing folder, flower tops, ribbon

Thank You cards

So, we had the insurance adjuster come out to the house for an assessment and I had my stuff out and it caught his attention. No big deal, right? Wrong! He ended up ordering 100 thank you cards from me! Woo hoo! So he requested just navy colors and a simple cross. This is what the outcome was and I am happy to post that he was very pleased as was I!
