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

A thank you for me.

HOw sweet is this sign. This was a thank you that the PTA had the middle school do for the sponsors. My Daughters school had their walk a thon today and my Earhart Designs signed up to be a sponsor for them. It was good advertisement for me too. My name was on the back of the tee shirts that all the kids wore for the walk. I actually got 3 jobs today too. Word of mouth is working. I just thought I'd share. I thought it was a super nice thing for them to do.

I'm a proud Mom. The other day my Daughter Alexandra got this letter in the mail. Great Job Sweetie. We love you,
Mom and Dad.










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.

Address book for New New Neighbor

Here's an Address Book I designed up for my New Neighbors. I'm just so Happy that they seem super nice and have lots of plans for the old house. It was empty for a while and needed a lot of work just to be good for moving in. They are really young getting married next month. We introduced ourselves a couple of weeks ago and I told her I wouldn't be baking her anything. Because she really wouldn't want me too because I'm not so good at it but I'm very crafty and told her I'd design her a gift. I thought for a New house a new address book would be good. I don't know her style but hopefully they'll like it.

Wedding gift Name Frame

Here's a frame I did for a customer and a she also happens to be a great friend. Her boss is getting remarried and she needed a gift. The Heart will open and they can put a picture in it's place. If they want the heart can be put on the frame lower next to the oval next to the picture. It's put on using dimensionals so it won't rip anything when lifted off. They'd just have to put new demensionals. I love doing the name frames Each take on a life of their own and are always so different. Thanks for stopping by.

A card my daughter made

Hi Everybody,

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!!!!
