Nugget box

My sister-in-law needed some spring treats for her co-workers and since I was cranking away with my Big Shot and my matchbox diecut, I decided to whip up a few of these...they almost look bridal, right?

I used a flower wheel in Almost Amethyst ink to make the background of the box...the ink cartridge was almost dry, but I liked the effect, so I didn't re-ink....


Blush Blossom, Almost Amethyst

Vintage Buttons

I can't get enough of these paper buttons form the embosslit!  When I saw this paper (non-SU!....sorry!) I just new it was meant for buttons!  And it matches with Blush Blossom, which I have a ton of!  I posted 2 photos because I wanted to show how I attached the little tags....one uses hemp-and real buttons- and the other a safety pin....some of the tags are just for color and have no stamping on them...on the 2 stamped ones, I used the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes....

Mini purses

I saw this adorable pocketbook on www.mychicnsrcatch.com (with complete instructions) and decided to make them as little Mother's Day treats--two Hershey's nuggets fit nicely but I also got some Dove squares to put inside....I used the Button Embosslit for the closure....cute, huh?

Congrats on your new home!

I needed a card for my good friend who got me into SU!...she has moved onto greener pastures (South Carolina!)...I pulled out this set from last year's SAB and used some of the elements from the Ice Cream Parlor SAB paper set from this year...this set is a clear mount set so it's easy to line up the roof with the body of the house...



Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Old Olive D/S paper (the hill is a little more than half of a large oval punch)

Girly Buttons

I needed a card for a 6 year old and what could be more girly than these 2 cards?  The stamp sets are retired but the layout is perfect for lots of different occasions....just emboss the bottom of the card (half way up) and you're all set to add those terrific paper buttons that you can make from the Button embosslet.....


Pale Plum and assorted purples and pinks.....

Quickie Button Birthday...

Trying to use up some retired cardstock...almost finished!  Love, love, love the new button embosslit!


Green Galore, Brilliant Blue, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, YoYo Yellow

Happy Birthday, Maggie (a little early)

Here are the treats I am making for my soon-to-be ten year old to give out at school...it is just a full sized Hershey bar wrapped in some (cheap!) paper...we punched out some cupcakes and added a cherry!  So simple--they better be--we're making 30!


Also picked up some sports-themed paper to make them for my son's July birthday!
