Squeeze the Day!

 I have been on a roll since I saw Marisa Alvarez, from kitchen table stamper, make the adorable birthday candle gift box. She has inspired me to make even more fun boxed candles that I have found at the Dollar Tree.

These strawberry lemonade candles were fun to create. 

They look like a smoothie you would get at the local cafe. 

I used the Squeeze the Day stamp set from amuse studio...a fun one from a few years ago. 

I have used it so much in the last 5 years...such a great stamp set!

Look how adorable these turned out. 

How fun it would be to take one to a summer party and give to your hostess! 

Thank you Marisa for sharing your talent!

Just anything...

I had a request for some cards that could be used for anything...no sentiments.

This is what I came up with. I had this floral stamp in my stash. 

Pretty much everything I used was in my stash. It is good to use up scraps.

These are a little more bold. Again...the stamp is from my stash and the cardstock is from Stampin' Up

For the GRAD!

Look how fun all these colorful grad cards are!

I made one of each color for the schools in my area. 

The grad cap is from amuse studio's "conGRADulations" stamp set. 

The numbers are from amuse studio's "birthday builder" set.

The sentiment is an old wood block I had in my stash.

For that special guy!

I was busy making Father's Day or even birthday treats for your special guy.

I got my inspiration from Sylvia's card class last week. Love this stamp set...Truly Tailored. Hurry though...it's only available til the end of May!

Made some Father's Day cards and they could be used for birthday cards as well.

beloved friend...

A dear friend of mine lost her sweet dog, Blue, last week. I thought she could use a little love.

This card inspired me from Taylored Expressions. I saw it when I was in Iowa visiting my sister-in-law, Melissa, a couple of years ago. We had gone to Taylor's studio and I thought it would make the best sympathy card for someone who has lost their beloved friend.

My sweet SIL, Melissa, gave me a couple of white note cubes and thought I could do something with them...she was right. I stamped all three sides the same and did a little coloring. Packaged them up and they are oh so cute! Thanks Melissa!

The basket weave embossing folder is awesome...a must for everyone's collection.
