Hello!
I have a fun, quick and easy project for you today, using Ellen’s Stamps of the Month: Lockhart’s Itty Bitty Hamburger and Hot Dog! Are you planning a picnic for Memorial Day? or a Graduation? or Father’s Day? Well how about making some personalized napkin rings!

These were SO easy to make! I just stamped the images on Neenah solar crest white, colored with my Copic markers, cut and embossed with my circle Nestabilty die, and matted with a Prism blush red medium Nestability scalloped circle. I personalized them with Karen Foster snap stamps.

For the band, I used my CHF gingham backgrounder stamped in Adirondack red pepper ink. The bands are 1 1/2″ wide, and 5 1/2″ long. I adhered the ends together with Mono Multi glue, then adhered the scalloped circle with a large pop-up glue dot.
So there you go, something fun to make for your next cookout! I hope you’ll try them.
Thanks for visiting!

I just realized that I never shared this with you! I created this for Spellbinders and CHA.

I used the petite oval and circle Nestability dies. Patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Hey Sugar, with a Making Memories pewter brad. Here’s a closeup:

Wouldn’t that be fun to put on your desk? Since the Cosmo Hey Sugar paper is double sided, it’s just solid colored on the back, but still looks finished. The “stem” is two strips of paper glued together, with the “leaves” sandwiched in between.
Hope you like it! Make one for your desk in your favorite paper! Hmmmm I can see this using the new Basic Grey Sultry… *drool*…
Have a great day!!

Hi Everyone!! Sorry I’ve been away a few days this week. My parents are in town staying with me, so I’ve been enjoying their company! We’re off to the Biltmore Estate for Easter brunch…..YUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!
I have a fun little Easter Basket to share with you. It’s my last project I created for A Walk Down Memory Lane, using the Imaginesce For Peep’s Sake paper.

I got this little basket from the $1 bin at Michael’s several months ago, and thought it’d be perfect for Easter. I adhered the patterned paper to the basket with Ranger glossy accents, and used these fun Imaginesce chipboard shapes with matching stickers for the tag and flower embellishment on the cover. I used my Spellbinders circle Nestability die to cut the paper for the lid, and tied various ribbons on the handle.
Here’s a shot of the inside:

I wish you all a lovely Easter! Don’t forget to scroll down and enter my drawing for Trudee Treats!!!
Thanks for stopping by!! ~~Hugs!~~

I just realized that I never shared this with you all! This was in the December issue of Gift Maker magazine.

Something cute to hang by your back door! Patterned paper and alpha stickers are Basic Grey Blush collection.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Kerry asked how the hooks are attached. There are brads stuck through the holes then the hook is attached with redliner sticky tape.
