Love Pocket Book...

I was looking at my favorite blogs this morning and when I saw what Ashley had created, I knew I wanted to make one. She made this super fun Christmas-y Pocket Book...it is so cute! She got the directions HERE and they really are super easy to follow. The only difference is that I don't have a Bind-it-All, so I made a spine like Ashley's. The book itself is made from ONE piece of 12x12 DSP. It is such a fun mini book. You could use it for so many things, but I liked the idea I saw and thought it would be a fun Valentines gift for a grandma with pictures of her favorite things...her grandkids. :) Here is a pic of the book all opened up.

I had a lot of fun making this, and I can see so many possibilities with it. Just think, a little birthday book with notes from each guest, a coupon book for your hubby with all the little tags a different thing he can turn in and redeem from you. Hmm, I am thinking I know what to give my hubby for Valentines day. :)

What I used:

Stamps: Love You Much, Goody Goody Gumdrops

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa

Accessories: Candy Lane DSP, White Gel Pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Sponge Daubers, Round Tab Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Silver Brads, Dimensionals

Convention Make 'n Takes...

These are some of the make and takes we did at convention. I think they turned out so cute and so I wanted to share! :)

This first card I love. It uses one of my most favorite new things that is coming out in the new catalog tomorrow...the scallop edge punch!
This box is so cute! It was so easy to make and hold little note cards and envelopes. A perfect little gift. I love the ribbon on it! Its the new 1 1/4" Pink Pirouette grosgrain...so fun!

I love this gift sack, and the bow on it is so cute and EASY to make! :)

This is a cute little mini album using the 3x3 envelopes for the covers.

Convention gifts from Ashley...

Ashley is my upline and so cute! She made these adorable gifts for all of her downline. She is so sweet. I got to stay with her during convention, and it was so fun getting to know her more! I had so much fun getting to know people at convention and just enjoying being there. I have lots to share, so hopefully you don't get bored from it all! :)
In the bag there was this super cute monogrammed notebook...
A darling little book using the clear envelopes... and a candy bar holder and some yummy taffy!

Thanks again Ashley...it was awesome!
