Good morning! Hope everyone is staying warm and you’re not buried under feet of snow. We’ve had our first major snowstorm for the year and it’s been bitterly cold . . . let’s hope it warms up for all of us soon!
During the last month, I’ve been working on some favors for my sorority province meeting . . . wish I had gotten a picture of the completed box. I die cut and made some fabric flowers that were attached to the front of a take-out box which we put a few treats in.
I’ve also taken the time to organize and clean my work space. I’m so glad I did . . . I finally feel that I have a room that suits me and that I actually like working in. (If you follow me on Facebook, you can see all the photos there!)
I have a few projects in the beginning stages for Ken Oliver using his new products. Love his new Color Burst! These will be hopefully finished over the upcoming weekend and I’ll have a few things to share next week.
The last few days I’ve been working on a project for Quietfire Design.
I used lots of old product that I’ve had in my stash for some time: An old Darcie’s Offset Square Shadowbox Frame, GrungePaper, Tattered Floral die (I know . . . don’t faint). I also used some new Graphic 45 paper I picked up at CHA, Artisan Style, and a Quietfire stamp. Please hop over to the Quietfire Creations Blog, check out all the details and more photos. I would love it if you could leave me a comment over there and let Suzanne know you visited!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Project Supplies:
I’ve been meaning to post this project for weeks now and just haven’t had the time to do it. So I figure since today is gloomy and we are inside once again, no time like the present.
I was contacted by a friend to make something special for her sister’s birthday, which was days away from Christmas. We talked about sentiments, colors, card or plaque, etc., and finally settled on something that she could set out and display.
Here’s what I came up with and I’ve been told that my friend’s sister loved the gift! (By the way, if you click on the photos it will enlarge them and make them clearer!)
The plaque measures a little over 5×7 and is placed on a frame easel back.
The sentiment was one found by my friend, which was typed and die cut/embossed with ovals.
The flowers surrounding the sentiment are from Prima which I felt matched the paper (MME Lost & Found Rosy) and were in the shades of earth tones.
I love it when someone asks me to make a special gift for them and I have one more to show you that I worked on for my Great-Aunt’s 70th Wedding Anniversary . . . coming soon!
Thanks for stopping by and joining me today!
