Card Party Pictures

A DEAR friend of mine is hosting a party to help me sell my cards and favors. This sale will help me raise funds for Missions at my church. My funds are ear-marked to dig Bore Hole water Wells in Malawi, Africa.

She wanted a picture that represents cards that I have for sale. The pictures were not taken in my light box so the lighting isn't ideal. 

A lot of these cards I made to challenges for a PTI Blog Hop.

Here are a few Gift Card folders. A gift card fits perfectly as does cash or a check.

I so appreciate my friend Jenny for hosting this party for me. She has always been supportive of my little mission effort. She is MUCH LOVED!!!

Christmas Favors

We really have about 6 1/2 weeks until Christmas!

WOW

That is going to sneak up on all of us, FAST!

I have been busy as a beaver making my favors for the holidays.

This post will be Tiny Take Out boxes.

The first one is for Fall. 

I LOVE this MME Lush Houndstooth paper. It is so cute. And, perfect for the fall.

The felt leaves I got at Hobby Lobby but I found some at Dollar Tree, too!

This one uses a felt Poinsettia from Michael's.

This embossed paper I got at Tuesday Morning, 25/$1.99!!!

The holly is Holly Berry die from PTI

I LOVE the simplicity of the red bow on both of the next 2.

Peaceful Poinsettia! That and glitter makes me smile!

Fancy Flakes all glittered up!

This is paper from Tuesday Morning as well.

I have more to share!

It is time to put Halloween away and start on Christmas decorating!

October 2013 Blog Hop ~ Tag 3

This month we thought we would challenge you to get a head start and create a quick set of five gift tags. 

 Shaker Tags! I had a BLAST making these. First of all Lizzie's Tag Sale #8 make it so easy and foolproof!

I have wanted to make a shaker card/tag for a long time I just never did it! I'll be making more!

I'll post my Christmas ones but I wanted to do some fall ones as well. I used Autumn Abundance Patterned Paper. I really love that pack.

I just ordered  Autumn Acorns Stamp Set and dies and wish I had gotten them sooner. What a GREAT set. 

I used the stamps on the background piece and made an acorn for an embellishment! 

Super coarse glitter, some gold glitter and a few gold sequins fill the tag.

FUN!!!

October 2013 Blog Hop ~ Tag 2

This month we thought we would challenge you to get a head start and create a quick set of five gift tags. 

I LOVE this tag. I really love the new Tag Sale #8. I wasn't sure I needed it but I love the style and the ease of making shaker tags (later posts)

I just got Peaceful Pinecones this summer and it has become one of my favorites. It is so pretty!

I used Pinefeather ink. My New Leaf is still the old formulation and I have noticed I am getting mottled stamping so I do need to replace that pad. I still used it but not all of my images are a crisp as I would like!

The little pinecone image is from Peaceful Pinecones.
