Candy Airplane
Here's a gift I did for a friend. I just found out from his wife that his birthday had passed . He loves Airplanes so I went on looking splitcoaststampers for airplane cards so I could at least make him a belated birthday card. I came across MCCFipps
gallery on splitcoaststampers with this idea. I didn't have any airplane stamps so I thought this would work nicely. I had to substitute the one stick of gum for a larger pack and the smarties base for a lifesavers pack. I used rubber bands to hold the gum and the lifesavers together. I also used some individual wrapped lifesavers for the wheels.
My recipe is:
Stamps: alphabits (retired from stampin up) , small sayings,
Paper: Designer paper outlaw stampin up', chocolate chip,
Ink: Brown stazon, computer ink,
accessories: both tag punches, window punch for the propeller, 1/4 inch circle punch, 1/2 inch circle punch, build a brad, brown gingham ribbon(non su) pop up glue dots and mini gluedots, xyron for attaching the ribbon, rubberbands, lifesavors, gum,
Technique: Airplaine

Proud Parents
candle favors for My gift for mom stamp camp I hosted.
These were the favors I gave everyone who came to my gift for mom stamp camp I bought the candles from Michaels for $1.00. and decorated them up. They had a ton of them in all different colors. It worked out great because the colors they had matched the Designer paper afternoon tea from Stampin up that I used for the camp. Except for the purple ones I just got them just because. To decorate them I used white stazon and stamped right on the glass with the thank you from all holidays and the butterflies were from the live your dream from the stampin up set.
On the top I used baroque motifs stampin up set using the SU scallop punch to punch it out. Lastly I used the stitched ribbon to match again except for the purple one. I found grosgrain ribbon to match that one.
If you want, You can find the photo brag book that we did for the camp under March in my blog
Thanks for looking have a great day.

I am planning on definitely doing another for myself and my MIL There's templates that you can buy. here's a site you can go to: http://www.designerdigitals.com/ecom/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=tumbler&x=0&y=

A card my daughter made
Last night my Daughter came to me. Look what I made. can you upload my card for me so I can get feed back on it. She 's too funny. I guess I 'm rubbing off on her. She was so excited and wanted me to do it then. It was late and I had to tell her I needed to wait until morning so I could get a better picture of it. She'll be a happy camper when she gets home today anyway. That's the goal. This card she made for a student teacher that's been working in her class this year. Her last day is today and they are having a little farewell party. I just love the little tear drops she has going on. so sweet.I would be so grateful for any comments given. Have a great day!!!!
