Card Quickies and some doily fun!

Hey friends!  A little while back I posted some quick mini gift cards  I made using Want2Scrap bling, Wilson Designs, Papertrey Ink and My Cute Stamps.  I love using these little cards for the many birthday parties my girls are lucky enough to attend and are often made *just before* the mad dash out of the house to their friend's birthday bash.  

Many times I let the wrapping paper or gift bag dictate my color and theme choices making these cards even quicker than usual.  The cool guitar from Wilson Designs is a go to easy choice for boy gifts. 

These adorable eye glasses and typewriter inspired sentiment are from the same set as the guitar.  You can find it here Let's Rock.  You KNOW I can't resist adding google eyes, right?!

.....and....for no reason at all other than seeing this on the internet (check out Charlotte's tutorial) and needing to just DO this to a couple of my doilies.....

doilies + food coloring + a wee bit of water =

Yum, YUM, yumminess!!!!  These will be coming to a craft project near you soon, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to resist using these for long!

Thanks for coming by!  I'll be back tomorrow with a new sketch challenge with Just Us Girls!

Just Us Girls #97 Altered Notebook challenge

Hey Just Us Girls Fans!  Fabulous Maria has challenged us to alter a notebook.  I snatched up a small size at my local Walgreens for 20 cents and set about making it my own!


I used a few of my favorite  Elements from the Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday line...I went for elements that said "get 'er done and still have fun".  I think it's a good idea to keep that ever growing to-do list in perspective so I inked up a Leavenworth Jackson stamp reminding me that if it doesn't have "meaning" I need to re-evaluate whether or not it belongs on my list! ;)


Button and baker's twine closure are a good way to keep this little book closed up while it tumbles around in my purse!



The back cover is for those times when my hair seems to be standing on end and my TWO children seem more like 20 children...."work with me people"!!!!  Just keeping it light and real....

Check out the artistic stylings of my fellow JUG-sters and then join us!
