Mini Milk Bottles

Good morning!
Thanks for checking in today!  I have created a beautiful Convention gift to share with you!  It is an altered Mini Milk Bottle.  I decorated it with a vintage gift tag and put some paper shred inside.  The bottle itself will be filled with some little surprises.  I'm hoping that the person it is intended for will love it!  I'm not sure about you but I am completely addicted to mini milk bottles!  Not only are they the most adorable little items around but they are also super functional!  You can use them as gift packaging (as I am) or you could fill it with a drink and sip through a paper straw!  Any way you look at it- mini milk bottles are FUN!

Have a wonderful Monday!  

A ruffled what?

Good morning!
Today is Sunday and that makes me happy!  Don't get me wrong- I love it when company comes to visit but I also love it when they leave!  It's been a crazy week here and I'm ready to get my home and my normal daily routine back on the usual schedule.  I have a LOT to do before Convention and I leave in just a little over a week!  Fortunately I did manage to complete one set of swap cards after everyone went to bed last night.  Having those completed is a huge deal.  I'm not much of a procrastinator so I like to get things done in advance.  I'm hoping to be completely done with swap cards/gifts by Wednesday.  I may be being too optimistic but with no interruptions from unexpected guests- it should be doable.
The card I created to share with you last night uses the Afternoon Picnic DSP.  I'm happy to have these wonderful patterns around again- the Tea For Two DSP that just retired was my favorite.  Having Afternoon Picnic allows me to still use my favorite patterns only in fresh new colors!  I hope you enjoy!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla

DSP:  Afternoon Picnic

Stamps:  Oh Hello

Inks:  Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana

Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framelits, SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Pearl Basic Jewels, Coastal Cabana Ruffled Ribbon

Thanks much

Good morning!
I am so glad it's finally the weekend!  Even though it's a holiday week- this has been one of the longest weeks ever.  Or at least it feels like it!  Not only have I been busy with my swaps for convention but I've also been making some fun little gifts for my fellow teammates.  I must admit though that if I don't kick it into gear- I'm not gonna have enough swaps made for convention!

I made a quick card last night and I love how it came out.  Ink splatters are fun and look great!  I apologize in advance for the poor quality picture.  I have company visiting from out of state and since I was working late- I couldn't use a lot of light.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Pool Party, Whisper White

DSP:  Subtles DSP stack

Stamps:  Six Sided Sampler

Inks:  Early Espresso, Calypso Coral, Pool Party

Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Calypso Coral Chevron Ribbon, Tea Lace Doilies, Hexagon Punch, Linen Thread, SNAIL, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Aqua Painter, 70% alcohol, Glue Dots

What are you going to do with those?

Good morning!
I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July holiday!  I spent the day shopping with my mother in law.  After we got home- I started working on these adorable little mini berry baskets.  What am I going to do with these?  Any ideas?  Well you will have to check back after convention to see!

These little baskets measure approximately 3" x 3".  They are super tiny and oh so cute!  I will post the finished product in a little over 2 weeks! 

Have a wonderful Friday!

Clean and Simple

Good morning!
Today I have a quick post.  My in-laws are coming in from out of town for the July 4th holiday and I have a ton of stuff to do.  The card I have to share today is a clean and simple card.  This particular card took less than 10 minutes to create.  I should have used a different background when I took the picture but I was in a hurry.  The white on white kinda looks washed out.  Sorry about that.  I made a little 2x2 envelope, tied it with some ribbon and put a little heart inside.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Soft Suede, Real Red
Stamps:  Seasonal Sayings
Inks:  Soft Suede, Real Red
Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Bone Folder, Simply Scored Scoring Plate, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Real Red Stitched Ribbon

Good morning!
