More Name Frames

Just ONE MORE ADDITION here before I go to Northern Wisconsin bear hunting for a week! Here's a picture I took of my then 12 year old daughter's bear from last year!





Here are a few more name frames - I just love these!!! They are so easy to make! I made this one so the ladies at bear camp can have a little fun this week!













I had a TEAM meeting Labor Day weekend for my out of town demos and Nikki brought along 2 name frames that she made too!


























Here we are - Nikki, Cindy, me & Terri:












These are the projects that we made:













Thanks for checking in! I'll be back on the 16th!

Holiday Mini Samples!

BAD NEWS.....OK - so I made all these cards as soon as I got my loot from the Holiday Mini. I had them laying on my desk for a few days with no time to scan them and then....the unbelievable happened!!!!! I lost them! All of them! Lucky for me my wonderful friend, Terri, was here and I made her one of each too! She mailed them to me after I hysterically called her to tell her of the devasting news! LOL

GOOD NEWS.....I just found all my cards last night! WHEW!!! I was ready for the rubber room! I must have set them in my display basket, because I remember telling myself something so insane, I can't believe I believed in my ability here....."DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU PUT THESE!" That's what I told myself when I did it.....I could remember that part as I was frantically searching! Do you ever do that? Or go into a room and suddenly forget why you're there? Maybe not.....LOL!
Anyhoo - here a few of the cards I made with the new Holiday Mini sets!































































This is called a wiper card - when you open it - the little "be merry" piece pops up!!! I made the front panel open on this card so I can insert a family photo for the holidays. Don't you LOVE those Rhinestone Brads????

Crop-A-Dile












Finally, an all-in-one tool that punches holes and silently sets eyelets, and it's portable. With 1/8" and 3/16" built-in hole punches, it silently and easily sets eyelets of both sizes-and there are no loose pieces to keep track of. But the Crop-A-Dile is more than just an ordinary eyelet setter. It also punches through chipboard, tin, and multiple paper layers with unexpected ease. You can also dry emboss small circles with it, like on the card below. You'll be amazed at what you can do with this great tool.












Right now - I'm offering the Crop-A-Dile for FREE!!!!! With $150 in outside orders - you'll earn this wonderful tool for free (value $29.95) from me!
