Page Header with PAZZLES

I did this page header for the album to take up a space that was missing material and to make a break between the elementary /junior high years and high school.  I made the title on the PAZZLES machine using the same greens I have been using for most of the graduation stuff and the silhouettes are from Scrapbook 101.

SPELLBINDERS

 It's almost all SPELLBINDERS on this one.

I put together a shower gift for my nephews soon to be wife.  Since they have been together for along long time, I decided to go with a fun and entertaining gift.  Each bottle has a different saying on it for different reasons you might need on a drink on the big day.

PAZZLES die cuts

Graduation...you may have heard me mention it once or twice over the last year....well, one of those events is upon us.  The Graduation of my niece is this weekend and I made her a custom card for it.  The school she went to had the BLAZERS as their team name....so I did a play on words with it using the school colors and the team logo.

MEMORY BOX Butterfly

Time to start posting my class projects from a week ago.  Here is project #1....the gift bag.  Plain paper sandwich bag with the top trimmed off using a edger die from Spellbinders and then you add a fun "belt" to keep it closed.  The belt just slides off so the bag could be reused.....I love reusing stuff.

Leftovers for breakfast

This is one of those cards where literally everything you see on it is bits leftover from some other card.  The striped background is from an older piece of the CHLOE collection from Three Bugs, which was used for a baby card a few years ago (and I happened to find under my washing machine when I pulled it out...a little dusty, but usable).  The strip behind the heart/butterfly is the piece you cut off with the UPC on it.....cute right?  The heart....left over from an attempt at a Valentine's card.  The butterfly is one extra I hand cut for the card class I had last week.  Those little rectangles of green flowers are left over from a card kit I just finished up.  Somehow all these little pieces ended up on my desk together and they just worked.  It literally took 5 minutes to put together.  Gotta love that right??  Now I have a handy note card to send out, or a quick birthday card I can stamp.  I left a little extra space on the bottom of the blue stripe just in case I needed to do that.

CANDi and more CANDi
