Fourth Post of the Week!

Can't believe I have managed a fourth post this week! Yipppie! And the week is nearly over. Tomorrow my best friend and I will be watching the opening of Sex and The City! I am so excited! It has been awhile since we have had the chance to hang out and watch a movie so it will be fun. And yes I am giving up my scrap night to be with her becuase with our busy lifestyles it is hard to get together. It is well worth it! Love you Girlie!
Here is today's creation.

Paper: ColorMates Card Stock
DP: My Mind's Eye
Stamp: Ink Boutique
Ink: Adirondack
Accessories: Brads, Eylets, Ribbon

Made this Double Pocket Tote slightly bigger than the previous one so that I can fit a 4 1/2x4 1/2 envelope inside it.

Swiss Dots Finally!

Whew...almost done with the dance year. My oldest had her dress rehearsal this evening so I curled the hair did the make up and rushed to the auditorium. Can't wait to see what is in store for me on Saturday when I get to watch her on the stage! I will probably shed a tear like a mom always does...well I know I do. Here is one of the two styles of cards that are part of the gift set for the green double pocket tote.

I was at my LSS last friday and I happened to be looking at the cuttlebug section. Behold! They had the long awaited Swiss Dots Embossing Folders. I couldn't believe it I was able to get this fabulous design and I had to use it with this gift set.

I Did It!!!!!

Okay...so I could not resist. An opportunity came up and I signed up as a Close to My Heart Independent Constultant. I had nothing to lose really. The sign up kit was 50% off so I took a leap and went for it thinking I would just use the product at a discount and not run it as a business. One thing though people want to know more about these cool clear stamps and want to attend workshops. So I though I would give it a try. Hear I am at it again! I will share more later on these cool paper kits and stamps.

I know it has been awhile since I posted on here. I have been really busy with family and projects. My son's preschool asked me to make an album for the preschool. They were pics of the kids making a quilt for the school auction. They were such cute pics and the album turned out beautiful! I almost wanted to keep it for myself. It's for a good cause and I had so much fun putting it together. I did not get the chance to take pictures of it so that I can post it. Oh well...

I did get the chance to scrapbook this weekend and spent some time with my lovely friend on Friday night. Here is what I worked on. Enjoy!

I saw this Pocket Tote on the Splitcoast Stampers community website and I thought I would give it a try.

I made matching cards to put inside. Which I will post later on. This would make an awsome gift for teachers. More Later!
