Skirt/Apron Swap Cards

I'm going to a stamping day-long event this weekend and will have the chance to swap cards with other cardmakers....so I made up a couple dozen of these cards to bring.  I think they are cute and different - while I was making them I was thinking of other things I could do with this template too....here's what the whole pile of the cards look like, and then the rows I put the 6 colors into...

Here are closeups of some of the apron/skirt cards:

Mini thank you notecards and post-it notebooks

I tried making some of the mini 3 x 3 notecards for thank yous - what a great way to use the 12 x 12" cardstock for little cards when you don't really need a whole bigger card and envelope....They were fun to make and I ended up making 8 of them, although I only needed 4 - :-)  They will be put with the post-it mongram notebooks I made - both feminine and masculine...practical and cute & really easy to make.  Check out the pics above and below for the notecards and notebooks...Happy Monday beginning of the week.

Pics of our furbaby Inu

Our don't-know-what-breeds-she-is furbaby will be 2 yrs old in May and she is lots of fun....everything is an adventure with her, exploring stuff, etc.  While out on a walk, I had to take a picture of her under this sign! lol

She has her ways of getting my attention....while I was working on my research paper  on the computer and using a book for the statistics I was writing about, Inu came up with a new way of getting me to notice her - so another funny picture here! 

Have a great weekend!!

A tree for Easter

This weekend I went to a local church's rummage sale and got a cute 18" green foil tree with mini-lights on it that worked....for only $.50!  It was just too cute to use only at Christmas, so I hung the peppermint patty treat holder/bookmarks on it and put the little mailbox I made under it....along with the 2 bunny baskets I got at the rummage sale which were only $1....Then after Easter is over, I can hang other holiday items on it, etc.  I got this idea from another Stampin Up demonstrator who used a 5' artificial tree in her hallway and decorated it seasonally.  Here is a picture of my tree:

Cool Photoshop pics

Isn't technology, the internet, software programs just too much fun sometimes?  Just doing this little blog I find I can spend way too much time playing with it....So much stuff you can create, like this neat Photoshop picture that was done by one of  my most favorite people in the whole world.  He uses it to post next to his "name" in forums - very colorful and creative. I sure wish I could do stuff like this.

Lots of heart treat boxes-25 of them!

I had done a class last month with a Valentine's theme, and one of the handouts I gave them was for a heart treat box.  One of the ladies used it to make up 25 heart boxes for a party she was going to - and she made all of these on a very limited budget!  Take a look at some of them she shared with me:
