Color blocking

Here's a sympathy card I made while playing around.  It uses blue ombre, a die cut (Cherry Lynn Designs) halfway into the cardstock, and a Peace diecut (PTI) over the top.  The finishing touch are butterfly punchies (MS).

Maude -- Handmade with love

These adorable little tea holders were made as Thank You gifts from Maude.  Maude is a student of mine.  She likes to say that she is "teacher's pet".  LOL!!  {wink}

Remember the 3x3 holder I made for the Hip to Be Square class?  Well, Maude made it into a tea holder with Tazo tea bags.

On another occasion, she created this tea bag holder.
Love the flower she used that has some Sticker glitter on it.

Perfect gift for tea for two.

Thank you so much, Maude!! I LOVE IT!! 
PS, the Vanilla tea was very delicious!! :o)

Tea pal - Colleen

My tea pal, Colleen, was also my August Tea Swap partner. Remember the coloring image theme? Well, here is her package to me.

Handmade tea card, tea bag holder, double stick tape and two "washi" pen sets.

The card and tea bag holder.  At first I thought it was Minnie Mouse and friend having tea (Colleen loves Disneyland).  But she was they were bees (LOLOL!!).   She said it was us having tea together (note the beauty mark on the pink "bee").  LOL!! 

Here's also a thank you card she created.  Love the texture on the hair!!

As usual, I had a wonderful package in the mail.  Thank you so much, Colleen!!! 

August's tea swap was fun.  I saw how others colored images and created their cards.

If you want to join our little tea swap, drop me a line!  Open call is going out now.  The theme for October's tea swap is Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Have a great day!

Carol, tea swap partner

Carol was my partner for August. My how time flies! That is the swap in which we were doing colored images. Here is her cute card and all the goodies she sent to me. She said it is a digi image. Love the tea themed!!!

I also love the quote stamp she used for this card. Very inspiring!

L-O-V-E it!!! Thank you Carol for a lovely card and for the gifts!!!

Added by Carol:   The stamp that was in my card is from a company out of California called "Of the Heart". The stamp is called Patsy's Poem.  The TEA POT stamp is from House Mouse Stamps.

Halloween Treat Bags

Wow, Halloween is around the corner (almost)! Made a few of these treat bags.
There are so many different styles & sizes out in Google land!

The green/black treat bag decorated with punched scallop circles and the orange/black treat bag decorated with punched starburst; adhered spider (store bought!). Tie closure with radiant raffia.

Happy Halloween!

My tea partner, Gail

The talented Gail from San Francisco was my partner this month.
You should see all the beautiful things she made with the Bird Song Graphic 45 line:

First of all, here is a picture of everything!

In this picture, we have a package of Earl Grey and Jasmine tea bags from Buckingham Palace, a little notebook of notecards, and . . .

a folder that holds these metal Scrapyard embellishments!!

Next we have a bookholder and a holder for two tea bags.  Mmmm, the tea bags are from Mighty Leaf Tea; can't wait to try them!

Lastly, we have this beautiful Screen Divider Card. I believe I saw the instructions at Splitcoast some time ago.

I am going to have to create one of my own! Isn't it beautiful!!

Thank you, Gail, for being a great tea partner and for sharing your talent with me!!

Tea for Gail

I think by now, Gail, my September Tea Swap partner would have received her card. The theme was color blocking and here's my card to her. I used SU Owl Punch and cuttlebug letter diecuts. Cute and fun to make! I went out and used colors that I would not have put together. I also sent her two Tazo tea bags and some NOH Portuguese sausage mix, which I know she loves.

If you want to join our monthly tea swap, drop me a line and I'll send you more information!

Tea Cards past --

I found some pictures of cards that my tea partner from various months had sent to me but I have never posted them so here they are:

I had two partners for April's Tea Swap, Theme:  Ribbon and Lace.  This is from Josie is Canada.   I love her romantic looking card, the blue ribbon and lace, duck stickers and Canadian tea!

Second card was created by Mary B., another partner, for the April Tea Swap.  This gorgous card is made by Mary B.  Did I saw Mary is 80 years young???!!!

She also gave me lots of things, some of which is shown here:  lady bug stencil, Jolies stickers, etc.   As Mary's partner, I was definitely spoiled!!

This is the inside of the card.  So cute!!!

Mary's daughter Jayne is also in our swap.  She was my partner in June.  The theme was Summer.  Are you ready to see this beautiful card?  First of all, here is her handmade envelope.

 Here is her card, closed.  

Ok, are you ready to see the insides of this card:

Ta-Da!!!  

Oh my, how amazing this card is!  Look at all the details she put in just to make this beautiful card!!!  L-o-v-e it!!!
