Broadsheet Alphabet Monogram Card and Gift

I've a little 3" by 3" card to share today.  I made them for my current Virtual Hostess group when they started the club back in October.  For some reason I forgot to post them.  I also made this little gift, a covered note pad with a magnet on the back.  Very handy for noting down a shopping list or their next order for Stampin' Up!.  Each one was personalised with their monogram on it.  Wouldn't this make a lovely gift for a teacher, colleague or friend? 

The card is Sahara Sand with a panel of Whisper White.  I stamped Circle Circus in River Rock.  The monogram is from Broadsheet Alphabet and stamped in Gumball Green on Whisper White with a mat of Garden Green.  The notebook is the same but with a PC typed title and Garden Green as the card stock base. 

Hope this gives you a little inspiration.  If you would be interested in joining my Virtual Hostess Club then drop me an e mail - ails300@btinternet.com. 

I notice that this fits in nicely with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches so I'm entering it over there.

Thanks for dropping in past, I always appreciate your visits. x

Complimints Tote Case

Good evening everybody.  I haven't blogged this week because I've been busy getting ready for a craft fair on Saturday.  Well two as it turns out and on the same day!  

Here's one of the little items I've made.  

This is a complimints mint tin filled with breath freshening mints.  I've covered the front and back with some Love Letter Designer Series Paper.  I cut round the edges then sanded to give a neater finish.  I added a couple of strips of the alternative side of the paper and ribbon for the handles  

Hopefully I'll be able to blog some more of the items I've made soon.

Thanks for looking. x

All Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated

Paper - Love Letter Designer Series

Ribbon - Basic Black 1/8"

Tape - Red Strip 

Other - Sanding block, complimints tin 

One for the boys

This is the altered notebooks with pen but this time male orientated.  I've matched up Pacific Point card stock with Celebrations Designer Series Paper.  This paper goes particularly well with the tag message Websites & Blogs.

My friend has ordered one of these for her son and the other is a teacher gift for my daughters male teacher.  Hope they like them!

Teachers Gift

I decided to try my hand at making a teacher gift so had a go at making one of these skinny notepads with matching pen.  I'm really pleased with it but wish I had thicker ribbon in this colour.

The patterned paper is the Greenhouse Gala series and it is matched with pear pizzazz cardstock.  I printed the message on my computer.

There might be a few people receiving one of these as part of  their gift!
