Thanks Stampin' Up!

It came! Yes, after a time on backorder-I guess I'm not the only one who is excited for this tool-it arrived!

This is the new Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up! I ripped that puppy right open and proceeded to make some scrap paper into envelopes!

Look, I made this calendar page intoa n awesome envelope-AND it's the right size for the card I had to make because, well, who wants an empty envelope?

So here's the halloween card I made for my Secret pal over at Craft Sayings. 

I just wrote out the address and ran it through my xyron machine to make it a sticker and TA-DA it's in the mail in a nifty reused calendar page envelope. I gotta say, the envelope punch board is a pretty cool tool-if you follow the direction-you can make almost any size envelope for cards and stuff.

Catching Up...

I see I forgot to share these pictures from a week or so ago... Hubs made cinnamon rolls! Yummy!

They were delish!
DD asked me to make a card for her to take to work. The folks she works with wanted to give a note to one of them who is having a tough time. Their co-worker had a tree fall on BOTH of their cars and total them during the last storm in these parts.

I just love this paper. I hope the folks like the sentiment anyways. I always have to make an envelope too for her it seems like! A little fairy magic seems to be in order for this coworker.

I didn't share this picture with yu yet either! It's been on my phone since we went to St. Louis. Pretty smart idea to save water-I know I blogged about this another time-and I really don't have a flushing fixation, but... I laughed when I saw the last line..."the sensor will automatically flush the proper amount of water based on time spent in the stall"! YIKES! All those folks who hang out in the bathroom stall, will be getting a monster flush!!!!
Ok I think I'm all caught up now!

Cards are DONE!

So BIG THANKS to the talented folks over at

Eighteen 25

The cute Merry Christmas design is a free printable from them! Free, just right what I needed!

Now DDaughter can take a whole pile of these to her work pals! Merry Christmas!

I LOVE these cards

So, this idea from Dawn's Stampin' Up was so cute I had to try it when Daughter said she needed some Christmas cards for her work people.
I printed this cute design from Eighteen 25 (I love all the cool things they do over there) and then I started digging through my scraps of paper.

Aren't these the absolute cutest things ever?! After the EPIC cookie fail, I'm glad something is coming out OK.

I just love the un-Christmas colors, just right!

Amy Butler Cards

Kind of a mess here huh. But dd needed some thank yous for folks who come over to her clinic to help out.  

 I made 9-I think and I like the way they came out. I've had this Amy Butler paper around for awhile and would like to use it up. I'm kinda tired of seeing it.

 I had a package of dye cut shapes that coordinate so I used them for embellishing along with some grosgrain ribbon on a few.

Mmmm paper!

So DD needed a card to show appreciation to one of her co-workers. I made this one up for her. I LOVE this paper, it's from October Afternoon called Fly a kite.

I added a little flap to the envelope and here's the inside of the card.
