A paid gig

Recently one of the teachers at my kids' school asked if I would make sets of cards for her to give as gifts. She had received a card that I had made for another teacher and liked it so much she wanted some for herself. I was so flattered! She ended up ordering a variety of cards, and I packaged them all up in these little totes (made from PTI stamp set boxes).
If you are interested in the specs for these boxes, let me know, and I'll attempt some kind of tutorial. They are very easy.
Here's one of the cards included--it's an updated version of a card I made a while ago. I put little rhinestone stickers in the flower centers. Love those things!

Here's another in the sets. This is also a CASE of myself, CASEing Debbie Olson, this time using Giga Guide Lines with sparkly centers. I like how the ribbon pinches through the small holes.
I also made monogram cards like the Berry Sorbet polka dot ones shown here.
Packages:
Paper: PTI Raspberry Fizz Mix
Other: PTI stamp boxes, Offray ribbon, eyelets, twine, Scor tape, SU scalloped circle punch

Card #1:
Paper: PTI Hibiscus Burst, White
Ink: SU Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Gable Green, Versafine Onyx

    Would love a tutorial on your totes from the PTI stamp boxes. I was straightening my craft room yesterday and stacked a bunch of those PTI boxes up 'cause I just felt like they should come in handy for something. Your totes are adorable. Would love to case them. Doesn't have to be a fancy tutorial. Just the measurement and a few simple instructions. And, of course, anything not to do that you learned the hard way.
    THANKS!!

    So Cute ... I'd love a copy of your tutorial using the PTI stamp boxes ... I just couldn't stand tossing these when I got the stamps, figured I'd make something of them someday!
    Thanks so much!

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
