Fish Club Cards

Here's a new one -- My parents belong to an aquarium fish club and for their holiday party, grab bags had to be "fish" related.

So I made a dozen fish cards along with Gold fish crackers, of course! I believe this die is an Archivers Quickutz die.

Notecard Teacher gift

Happy Holidays! It's been a long time! I've got lots of crafts to show you but I think I'll post them slowly to spread the season (because it's going by way too fast!!). So I'm all done with the craft fairs and now just getting my own shopping done.

For today, I'm sharing what I did for my kids' teachers. They are notebook cards that you quickly print, personalize and embellish. Someone shared this with me many months ago and I've kept the link knowing it will make great teacher gifts. (I'm sorry that I'm posting this too late since most schools are already on holiday break).

Here's the link to the original idea by Alicia. L-O-V-E I-T!! Please also check out her pinterest. She has WONDERFUL, absolutely wonderful ideas!! I didn't have to change a thing, other than I should have taken a little time to make sure my cutting was not off (see the extra white space on the bottom of this card?). Oh well, next time I'll be a little careful but other than that, I was able to finish these 30 cards in 2 hours (office lunch hours). Not bad, huh! I reused those plastic acrylic boxes that holds SU stamps. Place 10 cards and envelopes, a Starbucks gift card and handmade tags. BTW, the envelopes didn't fit in the box so they were placed on the bottom of the box and tied all together with ribbon.

As a side note, thank you to all who asked. I had a successful craft fair season and sold all the boards. The most popular, you ask? Hello Kitty, of course!! But I can't post pictures of that until Colleen opens her Christmas present (LOL!!! Hi, Colleen)!!

Happy Shopping!!!

Little busy bee --

That's me! too many things to do, too little time!

Drop by to say, "Hi"!

Happy Thanksgiving you all! I hope you have a wonderful turkey day with your loved ones! Also, I wish to thank YOU, for your wonderful comments and for stopping by!!

Monkey Business, Too

Here's the female counterpart to the Curious George in my last post

Is she pretty or what?? LOL!

Monkey business

So, wanna see monkeys?

Here you go. I tried to make him look like Curious George. I only created one to test the reaction but it was the first one to sell so I created several more.

I think I finally figured out how to take pictures of these boards. Here he is up close!

Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate your comments!!

Sweet as a Cupcake --

Betcha been wondering what I've been up to! Well, I've been busy creating this magnetic, dry erase boards for the craft fairs. Here's a cupcake one. I'm so sorry about the terrible picture. The boards are just gorgeous in person! I just can't seem to take a good one without either the flash showing or my outline! The board is glossy that reflects. Each piece pierced individually together and dimensional using foamies and paper. So far I've created 4 designs. Here is just one. They are so fun to make, just like creating a layout!! My sister personalizes names on them by request so that's why there are lots of white space on the bottom. Back to creating more! Right now I'm working on monkeys . . .
