Beaded Watch, Anklet and Earrings


Here is a beaded set I had made with the intention of giving as a gift. It was my first time making a watch and an anklet in this type of pattern. The earrings are a repeat of the pattern that is in the watch and anklet. Well, I'm a bad person 'cause I never did give it away. It gave me an excuse to make some more. Most of the projects I make I say to myself that I need to make for me and I normally don't. This is one of the few exceptions.

September Calender Page

I make a new calendar page every month for my husband to take to work. He hasn't decided on the picture yet, so for the time being it's blank.

September is the start of the Football season and he is a Colts Fan.

I just love my "Cricut". I have done several of the pages using the fonts.This one was the George and the Basic Shapes. The blue was the shadow font and the white is the regular letters. The page size depends on his space available. This one is 12" x 12" gray card stock and a 6" x 12" white card stock for the calendar. The Colt's horseshoe and football helmet are from Archivers.

Just because Card Set

I made these cards for a couple of ladies at work. They are just because cards .. Just because I thought they needed a pick me up. The cards were made with scraps of ribbon and paper, even the card bases were leftovers. The card stock was cut 6" by 6 3/4", folded in half for the card base.





Celebrate stamp from Hero Arts





The "Thank You" is a rub on I made with the Bleeding Cowboy font. The font can be found at http://www.scrapvillage.com/fontsb.htm






Each card has a decorated envelope to go with it. The inside of the envelopes are lined with paper from the "Cricut" paper packs.



Hi is stamped with the Traditional Upper Case Stamps and the Autumn Leaves Elegant Flourishes both are stamped with white paint.










All of the cards have the white double lined paper with a saying which was a rub on that I made. I really, really like making my own rub ons.

Post It Note Holder



I have been making a few of the Post it Note Holders. This set is going to the Ladies in Admin. The green and blue cardstock is from Cricut Greens and Cricut Blue packs. Cut the green cardstock 3 1/2" wide by 11" long. Score it at 5", 5 1/2" and 6". Fold it so there is a gusset on the bottom. The blue mat is 3 1/4" square and the white mat is 3" square. I used my Cricut "Walk in My Garden" for the large flower shapes a punch for the two small flowers on either side

of the large flower. The large flower shapes are sized 2" and down with a brad in the middle of them. The smaller flower punch is two of the flowers with a foam dot in the middle of them, be sure to off set them. The flower stems are from the Petal Plus set by Stampenous. The flourish on the inside is from the Elegant Flourishes by Rhonna Farrer and is white paint. I used one sheet of the small post it notes for placement and then stamped on the inside. I cut the magnet inside with an exacto knife and a ruler. It cut easily, just a couple of swipes through.

This was scraplifted from 321 Stamp. http://321stamp.typepad.com/321_stamp_launching_creat/2007/07/double-line-doo.html
