I think that there is something in our water for sure so that is why I only drink bottled water! Seriously though, I love doing these keepsakes for people and they really enjoy them. We also have fun making the predictions on gender, weight, and day. Its a great way to remember the day as well.

I only had one day to make these so I created something simple yet crafty. I picked up these little bags at Joann's <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRVvNtGBLBb2yRl6z5zmMGktxzCIH7VmqEiwtfz6w4TWhS-ZeIYrAofSZEYHHZ-SAKcDmQrykmF0482RgH6AjRQWbCARZ53kb5Q23joULfPaFH0vzjZB72rISF6SOcIalyCnKGUyZ1gD6h/s1600-h/IMG_7158.JPG"></a>Fabrics in the wedding isle. I added the Its a Boy stickers to a star that was punched using my large SU Star punch with silver CS. I adhered that to the bag with a pop-up dot. Inside the bag I put blue and silver hershey kisses that said "its a boy" and "thank you" on the tags that I picked up from Walmart. Also inside the bag were these nifty little post-it rings which <a href="http://kraftinwithkathy.blogspot.com/">Kathy</a> taught me how to make.

She was sent home from school and has a fever. She is one of those children who spikes a fever with the common cold so she tends to take tylenol or advil when she has cold symptoms. She developed these high fevers at the age of 1 1/2. She eventually had a febrial seizure when she was about 2 1/2. It was very scary so now each time when she even has the slightest fever she needs the over the counter medicine. She is not the easiest patient because she does not like to stay in bed. Wish me luck and have a great day.Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-26426849944894288762009-01-20T17:49:00.000-08:002009-01-20T18:14:14.779-08:00Polka Dot Birthday GirlMy girlfrie<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcpHCO4lVX0cXfeF5Z7FSYuxiEXPPZz-n6uYIqnXp3DyKNFppN6g7-6lCiqmn6l8ssSoX3CRj6B26Y-aC3uy40-DbTJYMtND3ZvabZXivrApxSYlrOCyHpVEW4pi0ZwYgZ9Fe7M5IF_40/s1600-h/IMG_6881.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293558488005242658" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcpHCO4lVX0cXfeF5Z7FSYuxiEXPPZz-n6uYIqnXp3DyKNFppN6g7-6lCiqmn6l8ssSoX3CRj6B26Y-aC3uy40-DbTJYMtND3ZvabZXivrApxSYlrOCyHpVEW4pi0ZwYgZ9Fe7M5IF_40/s200/IMG_6881.JPG" border="0" /></a>nd's daughter has the cutest little blond girl who truely looks like a little princess. When I started working with the Sophia stamp set line from <a href="http://www.paperpretties.com/">Paper Pretties</a>, my girlfriend thought they were gorgeous so I promised to make her daughter one for her birthday. Since she just turned 3, I thought this Sofia stamp with the teddy bear was perfect. As with my early designs with this stamp set, I used my Mega and Giga Scallop Oval punches to highlight Sofia. Polka Dots was the theme of this card so I used my Swiss dots embossing folder with my Cuttlebug on Pale Plum CS. I colored Sophia with my SU markers and then used my white gel pen to make the polka dots on her dress and the scallop oval. I added the sheer polka dot ribbon as a final touch. This was such a sweet birthday card.Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-82506660148387592132009-01-20T15:46:00.000-08:002009-01-20T17:48:16.082-08:00Happy ThoughtsEvery now and th<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LtptKKaz8CBaL_EiuNgqfSSoPO273LaDt2OuK3ZBq0VOd3PHTf9L2IlKkQBYufJzg-xiQkLAKir8SWoLwWq2ls-7RrhavcptJvO6HVwQjllp1f6HGEFnIgBGwp2CsvDm0sZ0JV-iH2aB/s1600-h/IMG_6470.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261628927641828882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LtptKKaz8CBaL_EiuNgqfSSoPO273LaDt2OuK3ZBq0VOd3PHTf9L2IlKkQBYufJzg-xiQkLAKir8SWoLwWq2ls-7RrhavcptJvO6HVwQjllp1f6HGEFnIgBGwp2CsvDm0sZ0JV-iH2aB/s200/IMG_6470.JPG" border="0" /></a>en I need a quick thank you or thinking of you card. The Circle of Friends Stamp Set from SU lets you make a quick and cute cards. Here I used this stamp set along with these cute polka dot cards from <a href="http://www.amuseartstamps.com/">amuse art stamps</a>. I love my scallop circle punch and use it whenever I can. The white gel pen adds the polka dot touch to the scallop circle punch. I also love my Boho Blossoms punch which makes great flowers for the center of the circle stamped with the words happy thoughts. The final touch is the rinestone brad used to fasten all the layers and then attach to the card with the glue dots.

My friend Erica made some great calendars for a craft show and told me about <a href="http://skybluepink.com/">SkyBlueInk</a> who is a seller of brads, fasteners as well as these self stick calendars. I bought a pack of 10 (very inexpensive) with other treats of course. I had some acrylic picture frames that I bought at the Christmas Tree Shop a while back. With the help of some DS paper (Berry Bliss & Petals and Pasley) I had hanging around and of course Mod Podge, I was able to create these little calendars which stand on thier own. I also used my punched and some stamp sets to add the embellishments. The top left image is the one that I made for the teachers at school.

I have done three craft shows this season which has kept me busy. I have a Christmas card order I am working on right now which is taking up most of my time. I will post all my creations soon. Needless to say, the inside decorating of the house has taken a back seat but the outside looks very festive thanks to my hubby! Thats his job. Hopefully we will be getting done the rest of the decorating soon. <br /><br />Have a Happy Holiday!Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-35272476896536015162008-10-31T18:21:00.000-07:002008-10-31T18:24:39.567-07:00Happy Halloween!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_Mp1mlFOiddmqwgLrz4u-Z6P5Escjw9GANhpvGteuVN-y-loCFHyDiob4lbKVMmYOgzFmBt1Nh8doX-HzBAkXPUsweJw63vb-y6qmEj9xYj9uCyR6K3rGSvO0CRcVALeBaVML4klR4Ye/s1600-h/j0436293.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263493898677053026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 144px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_Mp1mlFOiddmqwgLrz4u-Z6P5Escjw9GANhpvGteuVN-y-loCFHyDiob4lbKVMmYOgzFmBt1Nh8doX-HzBAkXPUsweJw63vb-y6qmEj9xYj9uCyR6K3rGSvO0CRcVALeBaVML4klR4Ye/s200/j0436293.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! Now that it is over and the kids have eaten their share of candy, we can all say that it was lots of fun. Every year we gather the kids together for a picture and then a parade. Then we all have a hot dog social for the kids before we go trick -or- treating. It is so much fun for them to be with their friends. Hope everyone had a good night.</div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-65758546221000136302008-10-26T17:42:00.000-07:002008-10-29T05:21:46.208-07:00Polka Dot BirthdayHere is another easy birthday card I made.

I decided to make a simple birthday card. I used a light purple cs to match the flowers. I stamped "Happy Birthday" in Lovely Lilac ink with Warmest Regards SU stamp set. I embossed the white cs with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. Before adhering the ribbon (from my random stash), I attached the ribbon to the white cs and then to the card. I placed the flowers, with a rhinestone brad, in the middle using glue dots. It was a quick and cute card.<br /><div></div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-20324643123107588312008-10-26T17:33:00.000-07:002008-10-26T17:40:31.214-07:00Designer Clipboards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fmwbscLw-oNeaeYIaI4bnDajFeis2gF1hQPslWkYRMNPEVhzKmORmC0EitHVlZZr-qPhLhfEjrLzqNSZ9RvuRE3jLc4MoTWocm84P_O9xK2r9k4PbPIKFPZa5A5_nEQGewdBjBWywGkJ/s1600-h/IMG_6150.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261625555168057378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fmwbscLw-oNeaeYIaI4bnDajFeis2gF1hQPslWkYRMNPEVhzKmORmC0EitHVlZZr-qPhLhfEjrLzqNSZ9RvuRE3jLc4MoTWocm84P_O9xK2r9k4PbPIKFPZa5A5_nEQGewdBjBWywGkJ/s200/IMG_6150.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here was a fun summertime project we did one day.

It was a fast and easy project. I took some of my Provo Craft 12x12 Summertime paper and cut to fit the clipboard. We used the Mod Podge glue to adhere the paper. I used coordinating colored cardstock to separate the different pattern paper. We used the designs from the paper to make the embellishments for the clipboard.

Here is one that I made for a teacher using the SU stamp set Typeset Alphabet stamped with bold bright craft ink. The Framed stamp set was also used to highlight the M. I used some embossed papers I bought from Michael's craft store. I used my Cuttlebug Dies (Apple & Books, School House, and Globe) to embellish the outline. I used the Dies with several different colored paper to get the desired effect. The frame was a $3 one I bought at Walmart. It is a perfect gift for end of the year or a gift for Christmas time.<br /><div></div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-87243279240356143572008-10-16T17:59:00.001-07:002008-10-17T03:44:00.215-07:00Thanks so much<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4kwGVMCtf8HeTQ2DiqLwv7L70f44yf6el-c0U_b_D11WguC58PF5ClXlpa8QCam71upknIX9rNifnzy978u0BIATD2tpN2_kzIop-wN45NHvjC5BD1SAv7oyrC2xOBFLduvZzidqxNGEZ/s1600-h/IMG_5973.JPG"></a>Here is a <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAkmQVW3E_khuKSedMw1ScCgNQdgs9qyLuBe-ehzGvPuQ6PXZe-4I69cxDFGUReWn5lLHUDJETsE5Uz_yDjEOV_8uK2RU77ZBV-DqwcwJUO0R7eZhmiAh1mOuq9Mnl7BpYUOdYa9JxRdTI/s1600-h/IMG_5971.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257921199914649954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAkmQVW3E_khuKSedMw1ScCgNQdgs9qyLuBe-ehzGvPuQ6PXZe-4I69cxDFGUReWn5lLHUDJETsE5Uz_yDjEOV_8uK2RU77ZBV-DqwcwJUO0R7eZhmiAh1mOuq9Mnl7BpYUOdYa9JxRdTI/s200/IMG_5971.JPG" border="0" /></a>quick and easy thank you card I made using some fun supplies. DS paper is so much fun to make quick and easy cards. I just loved this DS retired paper Flowers for You which I used with the coordinating colors of Lovely Lilac and Certainly Celery. The stamp set I used was SU retired Riveting which is easy to use. The polka dot ribbon I picked up at AC Moore which coordinates well with the color scheme I used. The Scallop circle punch is my favorite and adding dots to it with a white gel pen adds just the right touch. I bought the adhesive rhinestone brad at Walmart which adds a little bling. <div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-3253711302036562432008-10-16T17:52:00.000-07:002008-10-16T17:58:55.002-07:00Monogrammed note cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwEoiNX7tZV-FiWBT6Ew3e3MyY4PEypKX8djeBn6I6G6cxfzJSztlY7gfNle1mhne_crIFqwoRBkCgK7tWVA_3h1fO2_PQ6TPEYbezrtsSHKAjD6zlfeZWEdKC4I7XYkkrLmpESw_JD-7/s1600-h/IMG_5968.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257919821329141042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="137" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwEoiNX7tZV-FiWBT6Ew3e3MyY4PEypKX8djeBn6I6G6cxfzJSztlY7gfNle1mhne_crIFqwoRBkCgK7tWVA_3h1fO2_PQ6TPEYbezrtsSHKAjD6zlfeZWEdKC4I7XYkkrLmpESw_JD-7/s200/IMG_5968.JPG" width="118" border="0" /></a> Here is an<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Uav8ZU7xkagKLnv6rkQF0X8wkRmVHUtAulVn3silYOMkyk2WSdQW5cO-M4Qsm3ZM0qR2NI-s335l3y2VhkHSDYETKmD4Plt4pfuICauELuYJKeewNw8okD_2r8gTQocpM3tV5fo7dTpw/s1600-h/IMG_5969.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257919824791168434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="138" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Uav8ZU7xkagKLnv6rkQF0X8wkRmVHUtAulVn3silYOMkyk2WSdQW5cO-M4Qsm3ZM0qR2NI-s335l3y2VhkHSDYETKmD4Plt4pfuICauELuYJKeewNw8okD_2r8gTQocpM3tV5fo7dTpw/s200/IMG_5969.JPG" width="100" border="0" /></a>other set<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9eFMn3hWN0MmSlefMx609Mhlqs4WH5KguYLrE_uJyVrIQ9eDCRx-3P4QguZQXZI-W2hPquOPdyOxqTHZyTZ1hsoa3SUntcn5ZbhpPCGoa5EHjE_G_UZXi7CZz1tvZikTbsGRq7XpaxoE/s1600-h/IMG_5970.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257919832363434834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="135" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9eFMn3hWN0MmSlefMx609Mhlqs4WH5KguYLrE_uJyVrIQ9eDCRx-3P4QguZQXZI-W2hPquOPdyOxqTHZyTZ1hsoa3SUntcn5ZbhpPCGoa5EHjE_G_UZXi7CZz1tvZikTbsGRq7XpaxoE/s200/IMG_5970.JPG" width="102" border="0" /></a> of monogrammed note cards that I made for teachers gifts. I could not resist the $1 Spot at Target. They have great deals. I just added a flower using one of my Marvy punches with the initial stamped using my Fiskars alphabet I bought at Joann's Craft Store. It was easy and simple plus they each received 8 cards to use. The teachers always love note cards and they were a cinch to make.<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030659867132883546.post-18982362320906817052008-10-14T20:37:00.000-07:002008-10-14T20:52:43.627-07:00Money Gift Holders<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiw2zmrRBRvzYB4L1o7l0JTyveUy-5VZ9PPXjFsVkfYsrkCqxTdyTbTuJrv4QJE0ngjvuTWx2aHthZ64UATEzdsxOzv4dttSYH_zRAmM1ajrRrEcBBm5TJ2kbS_SibIwQU6nNFHZIeiuKj/s1600-h/IMG_5915.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257220217643893938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiw2zmrRBRvzYB4L1o7l0JTyveUy-5VZ9PPXjFsVkfYsrkCqxTdyTbTuJrv4QJE0ngjvuTWx2aHthZ64UATEzdsxOzv4dttSYH_zRAmM1ajrRrEcBBm5TJ2kbS_SibIwQU6nNFHZIeiuKj/s200/IMG_5915.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is one of the items in which I and the other room parent made at the end of the school year back in June. Here are some money holders which we made for the teacher aids in our children's classroom with the extra money we received from the parents. They are quick and easy using a full sheet of paper scored in thirds. the image was stamped using SU retired Riveting stamp set which I love. The image was punched out using the 1 1/4 circle punch and a silver adhesive rhinestone (found at walmart) was used in the center of the image. The flower was punched out on So Saffron paper using the scallop punch and the stitched wild wasabi ribbon added a nice touch for the stem as well as a tie to hold the<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ICrlfZVERclKV4m3wrpE12gBKt4GaZkFnGW0Osb-pjzTVeYzF4ssr80GsIoL8Q2-btU5XQaxrlECYAUGHNXOdqDrgxBWdXAWwKmUgufBf9oOvAlHvQaMBOOEvQN-r6pX5ncmDgzM5Eme/s1600-h/IMG_5916+b.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257220222640612146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ICrlfZVERclKV4m3wrpE12gBKt4GaZkFnGW0Osb-pjzTVeYzF4ssr80GsIoL8Q2-btU5XQaxrlECYAUGHNXOdqDrgxBWdXAWwKmUgufBf9oOvAlHvQaMBOOEvQN-r6pX5ncmDgzM5Eme/s200/IMG_5916+b.JPG" border="0" /></a> paper closed. <br /><br />On the inside, we layered a light pink paper on the inside with the top being a tyed thank you from the class with their names on it (not shown due to privacy issues). Certainly Celery paper was used to make the mountings for the money holders by using the slot punch at all four corners to slip the money into. Vola'!

I started with the invitation and then some cards to send with gifts for close friends. I finally ended with thank you cards that my daughter sent with a picture of herself. If you look at the earlier postings for these sets of cards, they were made with the same elements. The embossing of the gold ink added a nice and elegant touch. I want to thank my friend <a href="http://stampedbyhand.blogspot.com/">Joanne B. </a>for lending me the God is Love SU stamp set. I thought this image was perfect. <br /><div></div>Lois E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09019348987208105360noreply@blogger.com9
