Scallop Bag

I made this favour bag quite awhile ago but I just didn't know how I would close it....and a thought came to me last night so here is the final product.

I made a mistake gluing but it worked to my favour. I used the backside of the DSP for the sides of the bag with scallops.

Key Ingredients:
Stamp Set: Pocket Silhouettes, Short and Sweet
Designer Series Paper: Patterns Designer Series Paper Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink Pad: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink
Other: Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Bag with Scallops Bigz XL Die

3rd and Final Card

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm finally done with the Thank You cards for my friend. This past week has been crazy with trying to organize all of the products from the new Catalogue and my "real" job...but I conquered!!!

I cased this card from my upline Ange. I just love this stamp set, I had to get it for myself.

Next project...playing with my new toys to make a card for the Make 'N Take during my Open House. Yup, you heard it. I will be having an Open House next month to show off the new catty and some of the products. Stay tuned.

Key Ingredients:
Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral, Short and Sweet
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue (textured), Whisper White
Ink Pad: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Mellow Moss
Other: Taffeta Mellow Moss ribbon

2nd Thank You Card

I've been dying to use the new stamp set from the 2009/2010 Idea Catalogue so I figured I can use the Circle Circus stamp set for my friend's Thank You card. This is what I came up with. Can you tell I love Versamark? I LOVE, LOVE Versamarking. It's the most easiest but effective and subtle technique.

Key Ingredients:
Stamp Set: Circle Circus, Short and Sweet
Card Stock: Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink Pad: Brilliant Blue, Versamark
Other: Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon

Check off any of the items if it pertains to you...

1. I started a scrapbook album but I haven't finished it.

3. I don't have enough tools to create original pages.
4. I need to ask someone if this page looks good.
5. I need time away from home to get my creative juices going.

If you have checked off at least 2 out of 5 of these items then I have the perfect solution for you.
