Craft Fair Goodies continued

Last year I think I had just a little too much Christmasy stuff at my sales, and not enough "everyday" items, so this year I plan on changing that. I hope to offer both Christmas and everyday choices of items. (these photos were taken in a room with poor lighting, so please forgive the muffled colors) Here are some Magnetic Tablet holders in Sage Shadow: More Sage Shadow:

Some Christmas themed ones in Real Red:

Some Lavender Lace and Lovely Lilac:

And finally some Garden Green and Green Galore:

The images are various Stampin' Up items, from mostly retired sets : Serene Snowflakes, Punch Pals, Priceless, Circle Of Friendship and Pocket Silhouettes just to name a few.

Priceless - Rock and Roll

After I made the swaps for my PhillyInkers meeting, I had some left over pieces. so I decided to use them to make a slightly different card. I still used the "Priceless" set from Stampin' Up. This time I used the Rock and Roll technique on the heart. I also changed the sentiment a little, and switched the background from Pretty In Pink to Whisper White. I still used the Eyelet border punch. The sentiment is also from the "Heard From The Heart" set from Stampin' Up. I finished it all up with the 1/4" Real Red grosgrain ribbon.

The second picture is a close up of what the Rock and Roll technique looks like.

Priceless Butterflies

I had a little trouble finding inspiration last week. We got news that a dear family friend passed away early in the week. I spent most of the week in a funk. I had no desire to be creative whatsoever. Yesterday (Monday) we said our goodbyes to our dear friend. I am trying to take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain, but you know that isn't easy.
Last night (Monday) I forced myself to sit down and make these cards. I used Pretty in Pink, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock by Stampin Up. The background is actually a Jumbo Stampin Up rolling stamp called "Whimsy". Which after I had them all rolled out I thought I should have done the opposite way, but it still looks okay I think. The butterflies are from the set "Priceless" and the sentiment is from the set "Heard From the Heart" I finished it all up with 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and added some detail with the "Eyelet" Border punch.

Friends, always remember to tell your loved ones you love them. Don't ever miss that chance. Let them know while they are here. So when they are no longer here with us, you don't wonder if they knew how you felt about them. I know that she knew I appreciated all she's done for me, but I don't know if she knew how much I loved her, and will miss her dearly. RIP Katherine. I miss you already!!
