Wow! With a minute to spare! I just submitted my application for the American Crafts Design Team Call! If I had to chose any manufacturer design team I would want to design for it would be American Crafts without a doubt. Their style and colorful trend is so me and I love their quality of product! Ah, I want this so badly. Going to cross my fingers for sure!

Anyways...
Here are some more projects I've been working on:


First up are some business cards I designed! I've wanted to do this for a long time and finally have. Don't know if they'll give me a whole bunch of business but having my name out there is nice! The first one I designed like my blog banner and the second is more class-y, professional looking. Don't know which one I like more...what do you think?




Card I made for fun!


Gosh, these seem ancient to me. I made them forever ago and finally got around to getting some decent (ugh, stupid glare) of them. Recycling is always good for the earth so I reused the packaging from random scrap supplies and dressed them up a bit! Then I filled them will candy. Yum!

This is an album of a few of my closest friends.

I made the layout on each page simple and embellished with butterflies (Martha Stewart butterfly punch which I am OBSESSED with) and jewels by K&Company.

Heartache...

A good friend had a wee bit of heartache this week.

BUT

nothing some good 'ol twice-ly hand-dipped then hand-sprinkled chocolate strawberries couldn't handle (:









Mouth-watering huh? lol.
I could not decide if I liked the chocolate dipped with chocolate sprinkles or the chocolate dipped with colorful sprinkles better...hmm.
Being in the kitchen is too fun!

Have a great night!

MUSIC!

Stay up until the wee hours of the morning crafting last night listening to some favorite tunes!

Made these two cards/gift card holders:

I am submitting these to a CARDS Magazine call. Definitely crossing my fingers! I have been submitting for about a year now and nothing yet....

1. Let It Rock - Kevin Rudolph
2. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
3. The Best I Ever Had - Drake
4. Ordinary Day - Emilie Mover
5. Beggin' -Macdon

and others...I have such a bad memory. lol.

Well, going to finish up another card!
Bye!

Gift Bags!

Ever since I was little I LOVED wrapping presents.

Though my adoration for some sparkly wrapping paper, clear tape, sharp scissors, and of course curling ribbon still overwhelms me, sometimes a gift bag will have to suffice because I am running just a little late.

But that doesn't mean I can't dress it up right?

Heeheee!



Thanks for stoppping by!

FOOD

I most definately pigged-out today.
Gosh, I ate so much!

But, I did go on a walk with Soraya tonight so that made up for wee bit (:

And so, all this food talk reminds me of this...





I think this is so true! I love this quote about food (:

pho! yumo!







This was an envelope for an additional gift card (so he could eat more yummy food)!

I made this as a gift for my soccer coach this season! He loves to cook so I asked the girls on the team to give me some of their favorite recipes to incorporate! I ended up only receiving about 10-12 recipes but the book was still nice and full (:

I made the photos 4x6 so assembly of the recipe book would be easy. Also, the recipes' were printed on 3x5 index cards for more "easy-ness". Teresa Collin's recipe paper line worked well with this book too (:

Ah, now I think I am hungry again! lol.

Goodnight!
