You're "Just My Type"

This is one of the other cards that I did at the card class that I had in April.  I was really surprised that this stamp set did not make it into the new catalog.  I think it is a very versatile, fun set.  I definitely plan on keeping mine, but I tend to keep what I like.  I love the fact that there is a design in the First Edition Specialty DSP that discusses typewriters.  It is absolutely perfect when using this set!

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

Mother's Day Card 2012

Here is my Mother's Day card for this year.  I had a class a couple of weeks ago and the attendees made two of this card in addition to two Father's Day cards and two cards using the newly retired Just My Type stamp set.  I was really sad to see that stamp set go.  I will post the card that I made using that set shortly.  As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

Infused Vanilla Vodka

I have wanted to try my hand at infusing alcohol for a long time, and thought... what better time than for Teacher Appreciation?  I infused a bottle of vodka with vanilla beans for about 3 weeks and then put the yummy vanilla vodka into re-purposed frappuccino bottles.  I think they turned out super cute, and I had a little basket that they fit in perfectly!  These would be great gifts for a small group, they could get pricey if you make them in large quantities.  I am thinking maybe for a night out with your girlfriends you could give these as little gifts.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

Teacher Appreciation Gift Basket

Yesterday was the final fundraiser for this year at my son's elementary school.  It was called Geckos on the Green and was golf themed (as you may have guessed by the title).  There were items that were donated for a silent auction in addition to raffles.  I donated a card class for 6 plus this Teacher Appreciation Basket.  Included in the basket was:

• A gift card holder
• A decorated tin with wrapped Hershey's Nuggets
• A teacher themed composition book w/ matching pen
• A teacher themed clipboard w/ matching pen
• A 6 pack of handmade cards with coordinating envelopes

I hope the recipient enjoys all of the goodies. 

Have a great day!
