Box in a Bag




Wow I played with my WB (white balance) setting on my camera....and what a difference it made. YEA!!! I feel like I have really accomplished something.

This box in a bag is something I have seen over on Splitcoast and always wanted to do it..so here it is. What a great presentation this bag gives. Even my husband said "That's nice". It wasn't with a questioning tone in his voice either. I am giving this to my Scrapbook guru who helps me with my monthly crops. It's going to be filled with CHOCOLATE.

For My Great Niece



Ok so here is another card for my Niece, Great Niece that is!! Her name is Madison and she's turning 3. When she is in the room the sun rises and falls upon her!! Love her so much.

This is my first try with the Gina K stamp set Retro Boutique. I love this little dress. I colored with Copic markers and then cut out the image. Popped it on some pop dots. Then used my Essential Glue pad and then drizzled glitter all on the dress. Had to make it as girly as I could. The base is Paper Trey Ink cardstock scored with my Scor pal. The designer paper is from Stampin Up! The little bling bling is from Gina K also. I used Stampin Up!'s corner punches and added a little dimension to the inside of the card.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for blogging by!!
