Give Thanks

Give Thanks is one of my favorite stamp sets from The Angel Company. I got it in my starter kit. I think I am most attracted to it because of the acorn images. There is just something about acorns! Even though I got this set almost three years ago, and even though I just love the acorns, this is the first time I have used the acorn image! These cute acorns are paper pieced from scraps of Hemingway paper and rust card stock. The piecing gives the acorns a layered dimensional look that makes them more substantial on the card.

Supplies used to make this card:
Give Thanks
Running Stitches
Hemingway Soar With It Collection Paper
Hemingway Cardstock
Pewter Mini Brads
Edge Distresser
Palette Burnt Umber

September News and Notes

Yes I am still here! I am sorry that my blog has been so neglected! I am getting ready to do the Harper College Craft Fair this weekend. I have been doing a lot of stamping and not spending so much time on the computer! I have missed you all! (Is anyone still there?) I thought I would share a few of the little goodies that I am making for Harper and do September News all at one time. First a few pictures:

These are 1 1/2 x 2 inch post it pads turned into the cutest little clip notes. You can clip them on to your keys or the hardware on your purse or bag. The notes just rip right off. I had so much fun making them in all different themes and color combinations! For All Seasons made it easy to have a stamp image for every color and season! Here is another photo, this one is snow theme with a matching candy box:


The clear candy box measures 1x1x3 and fits three kisses perfectly!
These photos also serve as sneak peeks of upcoming buffet projects. If you take my classes you will see these things again!
