Thank You Card for My Mother In Law

Friday my husband gets a call from his mom. She wants to come over on Sunday. Ok, well why? He knew.
Sunday comes around and we are trying to decide what to do for dinner. See, I have an ear infection and I am just not myself. I didn't want to clean and cook. We were thinking about going out to get a dinner. Max called his mom and dad to let them know that he was home from work and ask if they wanted to go out for dinner with us. They were already eating dinner. Now I really wanted to know why they wanted to come over. They didn't even want to eat with us! It's a mystery. Max knew why.
So Max ran out to Jewel to get some chicken for dinner. I cleaned up a little. Max got home from the store just as his mom and dad arrived with a big box. Want to know why they came over? They brought my birthday present! LOL. My birthday is not until April! Mom was so excited she couldn't wait. She bought me a Cricut! A Cricut?!? Can you believe it. I can't! She was so excited she couldn't wait till April to give it to me! I can't believe it, what a gift!

Here is a card I made using the cute little bug. It's for my Mother in Law. I used the Cricut to cut the card (4 1/8 square), the envelope (4 1/4 square), the blue 3 1/2 inch square, the daisies and centers. If you look at the far right side of the picture, you can see that there is a little daisy on the inside of the card. The left side of the picture is the envelope flap. What FUN! I am so shocked and excited. The Thank You stamp is a current Level B hostess set from TAC.

Candles to Match The Salts

While on a shopping trip to find storage solutions to better organize my crafting space, I found these great candle cups and candles. The are very unique in size, I think. They are round and about 3 inches wide, but only about 1 inch tall. I just love them and thought they were perfect for a Valentine class so I bought several sets. The glass candle cups come in a clear cylinder container. I bought the strawberry candles and took them out of the metal tins that they are poured in to mold. I then put the candles in the glass cups. Darkest shade to lightest, I stacked the cups back in the cylinder. I tied them off with pretty satin ribbon and a large manila shipping tag. This is yet another project that will be available on my Open House Project Buffet. Are you coming? If so, email me! risa_v@hotmail.com.

Shadowbox Tags on the Project/Card Buffet

These adorable shadow box tags are inspired by Heather Scott. At Escape in San Antonio she had a set of these babies clipped to her Totally Cool Tote 2!

Made from the lids of the little GWP clamshells, what a great way to mark your bag! With these personalized tags clipped to your bag it is unlikely that someone will accidentally grab your tote instead of theirs. Think of all the other fun uses for these little cuties! Tied to a mini album, clipped to a memory purse, or what a FUN zipper pull! If you don't want to clip them somewhere, you could add two or three more tags to the binder ring. Then add photos and more Juliette paper to the backs and you would have an ADORABLE and UNIQUE mini album! These sweet tags are just one of the projects you will find on my card and project buffet on February 1st. Make one for $3 and each additional tag clipped to the same ring for just $2 more.
