Request for frames

Well here we have it..a request for frames.  My sister was going to a baby shower and we found out the parents were decorating the nursery in UT Longhorn decor.  They are a very special couple and will make great parents.  According to my sister they thought she bought it and wanted to know where she got it..made me feel good.  It is made up of Longhorn paper and a piece of embossed metal.  I found the longhorn symbols at at UT store in Dallas.  I thought they added a great touch.  The second frame was ordered by my cousin.  She has a new office and wanted to add some special touches.  I laughed..she is going to add a picture of me and her boyfriend in it.  Her frame is made with some Ten Second Studio influence.  I really liked the final outcome.  My cousin is keeping me pretty busy.  She like this frame so much she has asked me to make a door hanging for her office door so that project is to come very soon.  Alot of things in the works and you will be getting a lot of information from me soon.  Stay tuned!

Busy with invitations

I know...I know its been along time...busy summer.  One of my main projects this summer was a request for wedding invitations.  My first order...really excited but didn't know if I really could get out 200 invitations. A dear friend's daughter is getting married and asked if I would make them.  It was kinda tough..I came up with several samples and this is the one chosen by Donna & Brooke.  I started out by making 30 a day so it wasn't so hard on me.  I had my friend Tammy help with the insert card...thanks Tammy!  Next fun part was I got to personally stamp the swirl design on each of the 200 cards...yeah lots of fun...LOL!  Donna was so excited when she came to pick them up...I was happy she was happy..since then I've got another order...I think I'm onto something...will be back soon...exciting info to come!  Stay tuned!

Stationary Box

I received this idea via my email today...told it maybe alittle challenging, and I thought you know what I am up for the challenge today.  This idea is so cool.  The box unfolds and inside are pockets created to hold cards, tags, note cards and scratch pad and stamps.  I didn't find it to hard just very time consuming.  It was fun to make.  I think would make great gifts for teachers and your favorite co-worker.  I like that this idea allows you to add your own flair.  Let me know what you think of the latest idea....

Ready for Father's Day?

I got some great news..a friend of mine has a friend in the Dallas area opening a new store and she saw my previous frame and asked if it was possible to make up a couple of samples and send them to her.  She is looking for one of kind items to place in her store and she thinks my frames would be a perfect item.  I'm very flattered.  I will keep you updated and let you know if this works out.  I created this frame pending the next holiday celebrating the dad's in our lives.  Very simple but I enjoy all the simple accents.  I found the buttons in a local yard store.  They are made from leather and I think they match perfectly.  Hopefully the ideas just keep coming for these frames.  I also just got an order for 200 wedding invitations so I guess you know what I will be working on...until next time. 

Decorative Picture Frame

I came across this idea and thought I would put my own spin on it.  I die cutted some flowers out of soda cans and embossed and inked them and then using my faithful Cricut I cut out some varied size butterflies.  I also did alittle stamping on the background paper to give just a little more dimension.  Of course you can add a picture but also think it is great to display your favorite quote or bible verse.  I think this would make a great gift for anyone.  I plan on using it for an up coming birthday gift.  I plan on making some variations of this idea....working on one now for Father's Day.   

Bridal Shower Gift

Bridal season is definitely here...we have had our share of showers this season.  I'm attending another one this afternoon.  It is for a very special girl.  Lauren holds a special place in my heart so I wanted to create something for her that I hope she will treasure.  I created this personalized canvas piece.  I thought she might like something for her home that she can display and share her faith and the pride she is taking in taking a new last name.  I really like this piece and very easy to create.  Love ya Lauren!  Many, many years of blessing to you! 

Well......I'm reallllly tired today.  Prissy and I were asked if we would help decorate planter boxes for her grandson's,Tristan, boyscout troupe.  They are holding a fundraiser for a trip to Washington D.C.  When we arrived at the greenhouse we didn't realize we were the decorating committee.  They told us the sky was the limit and we could do anything we wanted on the boxes.  After taking a look at some of the great attempts the boys made at decorating I told Prissy about the idea of adding a metal front.  We ran this though the creatopia machine for embossing and added to the fronts.  We also had seen an idea of using soda cans for flowers...perfect time to try.  We cut up some cans and ran them thru the cuttlebug, embossed a few and I think they added a great accent to the boxes.  After a really long day we finished 26 boxes.  We can't wait to see them put plants in them to see what great gifts this will make for any special mom, aunt, grandmother or another special lady in your life....Happy Mother's Day!
