locker tags

Posted on March 20, 2015 | 1 comment

Happy first day of Spring!  And we are celebrating with….drumroll please….MORE SNOW….ugh!  It looks like tomorrow the temps will be in the upper 40’s but colder again after that.  I neeeed some flowers.  ;^)

A few months ago my daughter asked if I could make some locker tags for her and a few friends at work.  They all said what colors and theme they liked.  I forgot to take a pic of the first one before I gave it to her friend so here it is hanging on the locker.  (They are nurses, hence the medical tape to hang it…lol!)

I cut squares of patterned paper for a quilted look on Jill’s.  She likes purple so I used an old pack of paper by Making Memories.  Nice purples are hard to find!

This was not for me…but I like Diane’s request for the color coral and a beachy theme!  Stamps are by Sweet ‘n Sassy…linked below.

Linda likes dogs and wanted orange & blue.  I thought this sentiment would be perfect…because a nursing shift can get pretty stressful!

I really like the CAS (clean & simple) style but it is sometimes difficult for me to achieve.  This card, however, came together easily and I love it!

The images and sentiments in this PTI Botanical Silhouettes set are so pretty… ♥ them! 

stamps- PTI Limited Edition Botanical Silhouettes; paper- kraft, vanilla, SU! Cool Caribbean; ink- Distress Vintage Photo, Memento Black, SU! Cool Caribbean; accessories- corner rounder, adhesive pearl.

…to have so many wonderful friends! 

Last week was a tough one and to top it all off, our computer crashed.  We lost all our e-mails so if you sent me anything important, you might want to resend it.  LOL.  But a dear friend brightened my day to turn the whole week around…she sent me an extra set that she received of the PTI Botanical Silhouettes, a limited edition set that is earned from purchases throughout the year.  How awesome is that?!  I love it!

I am in need of several birthday cards this month and I wanted to make her a thank you card as well.  So I had some fun Tuesday night creating these…

I was inspired by this card that my friend, Cheryl, made.  I love the colors!  Tomorrow I will have another card to share that I made with this set.

stamps- PTI Botanical Silhouettes and Round & Round (butterfly); paper- SU! Groovy Guava, kraft, cream, brown, green, October Afternoon Ducks in a Row: Peek-A-Boo; ink- Distress Vintage Photo, SU! Cool Caribbean, Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Groovy Guava, brown Micron pen; accessories- SU! Square Lattice folder, button, thread, Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop punch, corner rounder, adhesive pearls.

I am blessed to have so many friends through this hobby!  And here’s a few samples that came about from those friendships.

One friend whom I only get to see once a year earned an extra PTI set and gave it to me!  How sweet was that?!  This is my first set from PaperTrey and it gave me the gentle push I needed to order the button set I’ve been eyeing for a long time.  lol. 

Here’s the card I made to thank my friend…

And a few days ago some other friends invited me to join them when they got together to try some glass etching.  Ever since I did it on this jar, I have been wanting to etch a 9 x 13 cake pan.  So I made time to join them and they cut the design out on the Cricut for me.  (I still need to learn how to use that thing!)  I chose a font for my name and the bird was on the same cartridge.  I think it may have been Lyrical Letters??  Everything was cut from vinyl to stick onto the pan for a stencil.  The letters needed to be entered and cut out backwards so they show through the bottom in the right order & direction!  I thought it turned out pretty cute!

We are still in the midst of computer woes but I should be back tomorrow with a Stampavie sample.  And I also have a cute C.C. Designs project I can’t wait to share!  Hopefully the computer will cooperate so I can post it soon.

Take care!
