First Design Team Entry for Gina K

(Not)

Gina K is looking for new designers. I am very excited to submit my entries. I just love her stamps. They are the good ole fashioned red rubber! Nothing stamps like it. Of course you have to mount them on EZ Mount which kind of gives you the best of the acrylic and red rubber!

Any who, this is a hostess gift that I decided to do 5 minutes before we headed to a off-to-college celebration. I already had the girls gift and thought I should give mom and dad a little something too.

RECIPE:

STAMPS:Gina K Festive labels,Just Rite monogram

INK: Versafine

PAPER: Imagience

ACCESSORIES: Cellophane, black gross grain ribbon, silver cord

I just love the festive label set, they are great for every occasion.

Frank Day

Frank in our office celebrates his company anniversary by giving us a pizza lunch yum yum. Well he scheduled his pizza lunch on a day that we had something else going on. So instead of today the actual anniversary date we will have pizza tomorrow. Anyway I thought it would be nice to make tags that everyone in the department will wear in honor of his anniversary. Then I decided to make something for his desk so I re purposed the Michaels find from Saturday which is a little metal thingy. It cost 39cents after 90% off! I used the same paper on it as I did the card.

Baby Boy Gift Set

This was a baby gift set that I did for a close family friend's new little baby. I made my own paper by stamping the little feet all over the card stock. The initials were done using my Just Rite Stamper Curly Font.

The tin was leftover from the Michael's $5.00 stamp set that they sold at Christmas. The onesie idea was taken from Taylored Expressions. The onesies are sold at Joanns for $9.99 and with a 40% coupon what a score! I used the hippo from Gina K's Just So Hippy. I also used a little giraffe from Michaels and a bear from a very old Dot company stamp. The tin belly band was made from little boy patterned paper from Michael's. The ribbon is from the Fabric Barn in Long Beach, CA.

I really like the way this gift set turned out.

More Whiff of Joy

Katharina is taking pre-orders on her new Whiff of Joy stamps starting June 30, 2008. In addition, free shipping! So go check it out!

SCORE AT MICHAELS!!!

I went to Michael's and got all this stuff for $1.77! Well I had a $35 store credit! The actual total was $34.63 minus $9.00 for a return.

This stuff was 90% off! I bought every item that I knew could be used. The wooden boxes were regular $19.99 and I paid $1.99! I am going to but wine in them and give them as gifts. Same with everything else. The clock was regular $59.99 and I paid $5.99. They were given this stuff away. I original went in to buy some more black embossing powder and the powder that keeps the embossing powder from sticking where you don't want it too. Of course I used a 40% coupon on the non sticking powder since it was $5.49. The bridal flowers were clearanced at $2.00! Oh the shadow box was only $3.99!

I just love a deal! My husband had a look as all the items were brought in and when I told him that I only spent $1.77 he was smiling more than me!

Happy Monday to you!
