Altered CD Case/Gift Card Holder

Wow, it has been a long time!  I made this altered CD case for my good friend Debbie so she could treat herself to some Starbucks coffee.  She is going through some tough times these days and is handling things much better than I ever could.  I am proud to call her my friend!

I have about 500 CD cases at my house from a marketing plan gone bad.  I used the
"My Creative Time You Are Perk-fect" stamp set which I fell in love with at first sight.  I cut the flower in different sizes from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge.  I stuck the gift card to the center cd button with a pop dot.  1 down, 499 to go!  TFL

Staff Appreciation Week

It's Staff Appreciation Week at my son's school.  I found this cute idea on Pinterest to make a little treat for the teacher's using a peppermint patty.  I cut the outer scalloped circle with Accent Essentials and then used George for the inner circles.  I stamped the A+ on the front and the Thanks on the back using clearance stamps that I picked up at Joann's.  I mounted everything around a peppermint patty and this is what I got.  TFL

Party Banners

As I posted earlier, my husband and I are hosting our annual holiday party in December (Summer in December Party).  I made six banners over the weekend for the food tables and front door.  Here is the one I made for the Salad Bar.  The others are the same design, but say Welcome to Paradise, Starters, Meat & Potatoes, Sweets & Treats and Tiki Bar.  I used several different cartridges including Art Philosophy, Accent Essentials, Lifes a Beach and Celebrations.  I strung each letter together with ribbon.  I also finally used my Peachy Keen stamps on the sun.  TFL
