Pretty Post it Note Holder

These are really easy and fun to make....they can be used as a card if you wish or just a little gift. I generally use distress ink on the post it note pad itself to give it a toned down look.

Out of Bounds digital layout

This is my first attempt at a digital layout, I really like the effect this gives the picture. You can find the tutorial link here. Hope you have fun doing some layouts!

Yippie I am on vacation !

I was just enjoying some me time today and finished this card for a dear friend. It is embossed with the cuttlebug, cut on the wishblade with a template from UKScrappers.

Getting back into the crafting swing

This is card I made for my Godmother ! I have not been doing alot of crafting lately and it sure did feel good to get back into the swing of it ! I made this card on my wishblade, the template is one from UKScrappers where they have some really talented ladies who generously share the designs they create.
