Whatever Challenge Wednesday -- Perfect gift...

 

Whatever Challenge Wednesdays features a challenge from the blogosphere, chosen randomly.

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to play with the color combo of the Play Date Cafe : PINK, YELLOW and ORANGE.

and also with Laura's sketch over at 2 sketches 4 you:

Here's what I came up with:

I recently stumbled upon a super clever tip from Patty Bennett on how to enlarge enveloppe from the scallop enveloppe Big Shot die so that it could fit a gift card. It is so simple but my old (and not so used) die as now a whole new life ahead...thanks Patty, that's what I love in sharing ideas.

As I tried the tip, I was struck by this idea. A little book of gift. I would be perfect for a group gift to a pregnant friend, retiring coworker an even for your picky teenager...Anybody would be please with this gift.

The best part of this is that you can put as many enveloppes as you need. Just make a longer accordeon and a deeper spine. A gift card fits perfectly in each enveloppe, but also would photos, tags, mini cards or simple cardstock with sweet messages...

It's so cute and tiny that it is very portable an will fit any purse...

Have nice stampin' day !!

Quickie Mini Monday -- use what's in front of you...

 

Quickie Mini Mondays feature a 10 minute-or-less project -- something fast, fun and easy to reproduce and mass produce.

Hi everyone,

Today's lesson is all about saving time...instead of cleaning your desk...use what's in front of you to make a quick card (Well this doesn't apply to CeeCee since she NEVER have anything lying on her desk, she really put things right back where they belong right away. Let me tell you she goes crazy when we're working side by side LOL)

OK back to business, how to make a very quick card??? Take things you have on hand. I had this beautiful flower lying on my desk for quite a while now and also that 3"X3" scrap of patterned paper, All I had to do was to cut an Old Olive mat for the patterned paper and stamp a sentiment with my beloved Stamp-a-ma-Jig (this thing is always lying on my desk, cluttering my workspace, why put it back since I'll need it the very next time for sure???) and voilà.

Have nice stampin' day !!

Sparkly Fun Friday -- sparkling halloween

 

Sparkly Fun Fridays features a sparkly or glittery project using shimmer paints, embossing powders, glitters, rhinestones... anything shiny to welcome the weekend in a fun way!!!

Hi everyone,


Here's my sparkling card for today :

I made my own polka dotted sparkling paper with a 3/4" round punch and some sticky page (an old tip from CeeCee)...I simply punched a little bit, then turned a couple of degres and punched gently again, and I repeated untill my circle was entirely cut. Then, I glued my new stickers on the basic black paper and sprinkled some black glitters over it

Have nice stampin' day !!

Two 4 Tuesday -- CAKES...

 

Two for Tuesday features 2 projects that are similar in either color, theme, layout or embellishment but... with a different twist!

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to tell you that I have no cards for you to see today.... because I was so busy making theses:

Last weekend we celebrated my kids' birthdays, Sara turned 1 and William 3. It was a woderful party. Thanks to the help of the precious grandmothers and close friends I was able to get those edible creations ready in time. I always seem to forget how much time consuming they are... but oh so worth the extra efforts.

Here's is William's cake. He's just so much into trains right now, he loved it a lot.

Since we went to M+M world store in New York, he's obsessed with them, so I had to find a way to get some on the cake...

Now here's miss duckie for baby Sara:

Hope you'll forgive me for the lack of cards...

Have a nice stampin' day!!
