Oldie but goodie.

I've been trying to get back into watercoloring.  So was looking through my retired sets and came across Dreams and Dragons. I made this card for a UDI challenge. I used watercolor wonder crayons and Aquapainters.  It was very enjoyable to make and complete a project in one evening. I'm glad I took a photo because as soon as I did, my dd came and begged me for it, so it hasn't been seen since!!! (In real life the colors all blend together, the hues seem a little off in this scan).

This is what I made for all my students at school... it had to be a quick and easy project.

Mini Christmas Album

Another name for this project is a Wallet Photo Album.  First photo shows how I made it fold into a triangle to sit on on a table (instead of folding it completely closed, like a wallet).

Second photo shows it open vertically, and the third photo shows all the flaps open.  It can hold up to 9 photos!

Christmas favor

I took a gold take out box from Dollar Tree, pushed the flaps inside, and then added shredded crepe paper, candy canes, and a chocolate gold coin.  I stamped a matchbook pouch with Reindeer food inside. And I had a red tag with a gold embossed reindeer on it to go with the cello bag of chocolate covered raisins. A big gold ribbon finished it off.

Little clipboard composition books. 

I created one of these mini composition books for a UDI friend, and one for my daughter. I got the clipboard idea from a wonderful friend, Charmaine George.

Doodle This Carrot and gift set

This is a gift set I made using Doodle This and Doodle That.  I thought the carrot would be a fun springtime box to make with these sets.  I should also say I made it with Whisper White cardstock, and sponged on the pumpkin pie and green galore ink after stamping the doodles with only orange and glorious green ink. 

The little pouch was made using the 5 in 1 card envelope template. I lengthened and adjusted the small pouch in the middle of the template.  Finally I also stamped on the purple tissue paper, and put it all in a cute pail from Target's $1 Spot.  

Edited to add: I was so excited last night because I got an email from Debbie Olson, my favorite stampin' designer and blogger!!  I couldn't believe she emailed to say she liked my Doodle This carrot!!  Please go see the incredible art on her blog here. Thanks Debbie, for making my day!!!

Pocket Note Cards Purse

This is a purse to hold Pocket Note cards. I got the idea from JanTink's blog, where she has a great template to download. I made these for my Stampin' Sister and for a swap I was in for UDI.

Decorated purses.  Here are some purses I decorated.  This one had pockets for artist trading cards (ATC's). There's 3 more ATCs on the back.

Below is the other one.  It has a cardfront sized pocket on each side. See below for the backside. I need to try to get the colors more correct on these photos (I used Enchante DS pattern papers).
