Project Tuesday Gift Bag

OMG...I have been slacking and not doing much of anything:( Well, I received a phone call the other night and was scolded for my "slacking"...And you know who you are:) Thanks for that because it got my butt moving. Sometimes we jsut need a swift kick in the...butt to get back into the swing of things.

I made this gift bag for the PROJECT TUESDAY GIFT BAG CHALLENGE. I think that I made it just in time. Not too sure what is going in the gift bag yet, but I know that I will give it to my sister Sylvia.

The snowglobe and the Santa Sleigh are both from the Christmas Noel Cart and embossed the globe with d'vine swirls cuttlebug embossing folder. Also added some pop-dots to make it a shaker snowglobe and filled it with Martha Stewarts Mica Flakes. I made the tag from A Childs Year Cart and heat embossed the sentiment.

DH said that it was too blue so that is why I added the irridescent pearls (not sure what they are actually called) around the top and the bottom of the bag. (I think that it looks much better in real life compared to the pic).

Thanks for taking the time to read my babbling and/or looking at my gift bag!!!

Sunflower Thank You

WOW...I didn't realize it has been almost 2 wks. since I have posted anything. I planned on posting this card last weekend until I had an emergency with one of my dogs, Shep. He apparently was stung by a bee on Sunday. That evening both of his eyes were swollen/puffy. DH took him to the Vet Hospital around midnight. Of course by the time Shep got to the Vet the swelling was gone. So they told DH to give him some benadryl. It has been something new with Shep everyday this past week.

So here it is...Hope you like it! And....Thanks for looking! All comments are appreciated!!!!!!!

I cut the scalloped circle 3 times using the Mini Monograms cricut cart. Two of the cuts are with cardstock and the top cut is with vellum. I stamped the image on vellum. I also used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder and a fiskars effervescence paper punch. I then used a small sunflower stamp for inside of the card.

Birdie Thank You card

This is one of the few Thank You cards that I made this weekend. I use the Mini Monograms cricut cart for the scalloped square, Jasmine for the corner and one of the cuttlebug border embossing folders. I think the stamped image is a stamp that I bought a J's. Not too sure where I got the "Thanks so much" stamp....I think it might be from J's also. Although you can't really tell from the pic (I take horrible pics of my cards) I did heat emboss the "Thanks so much" stamp. Well....TFL!!!!!
