Givin' you the business....

Happy Monday, again, my friends.  The Doctor is in - .5 cents plesase!  Do you remember the Peanuts cartoons, when Lucy would set up her little booth and snag Charlie Brown?  I love those cartoon strips!

It's Monday again and time for Patty Jo and I to share our Dr. Monday M. D. (mini's & dies) projects for this week.  I hope you'll take the time to visit her phenomenal blog.  

This week I have created several little business card holders.  How cute are these?  They are perfect for an embellishment with a Mini.  Here is a link to the website where I found the tutorial.  Easy peasy!  I even made a special one for my hairdresser! (It's the black and white one at the very bottom)

.

Here I've used #3102 Forget Me Not Tilda.

#363 Tilda with Large Balloon.

LF 06 Tilda with Spring Heart

Here on the left I've used#3076 Tilda with a Cross Necklace
On the right I've used #3093 Tilda Spitz Pocket

These are the same two as directly above just switched around a little.

This is the one I made for my hairdresser.  The salon is done in black and white and it elegant looking.  I picked this DP especially to fit into the decor.  It sits proudly in her booth.  That way her business cards are close at hand when she makes up future appointments.

These were fun to make, they went together very quickly and used just scraps of DP and CS to make them.

I hope you have some mini's in your collection and will be inspired by my projects to create some for yourself.

Many Blessings

Hugs,

Two more Baby Gift Baggies...

I sing in the choir at my church. In our choir when any of the ladies is having a baby we always shower them with diapers and wipes. This week we are honoring three ladies so I needed two more gift baggies.

My first one (previous post) is for a baby girl. These next two are for a baby boy and a baby due who's sex they won't know until the birth, so I had to make something a little generic.

So here are my next two baggies. (Didn't I tell you these bags were ugly!!!) There must have been something redeeming in the package, which I've a long time ago used, for me to have purchased them. I'm telling you, these bags were not easy to get creative with.

So anyhooo..

Here I've used #115 Baby Edwin for the little boy bag. Many of the images from this collection are still available from Diana at Magnolia-licious store. Please stop by to see the fabulous price cuts and deals she has going on. This collection is just so sweet and wonderful to color. Please don't ask me what Copic markers I used, because I just steam rolled through these two bags today. I didn't keep track at all - shame on me!


A close up of Edwin...obviously the recipient of this bag
is named Bentley. Oops I just noticed that I spelled the name wrong on the tag.
Okay, so I'm off to fix that problem immediately. Sheesh!
I used my Whimsey Stamps Banner dies to make the banner here!



This gift bag uses "Bambino" by Sugar Nellie. I tried to keep this one pretty generic...

A closer look at Bambino...
Okay, whew! It's been a bit of a marathon today, but the projects are done and I've put a package of wipes in each bag. The diapers I will carry separately, just adding them to the pile in the choir room.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog again! You can't know how appreciative I am for your visits and that you take the time out of your busy lives to leave me some encouragement!

Blessings and hugs,

Barb

A Baby Baggie...

I'm back with another project for you to see! I had bought a set of gift bags at Michael's quite some time ago and I used the ones that were pretty. The others have been sitting in a drawer and I've been ignoring them because they aren't the prettiest.

Yesterday I decided that since I need a couple of gift bags over the next few days I would use these and TRY to gussy them up a little.

So using the striped bag, here is what I came up with...I have used #3047 Tilda with Floating Hearts and she is available from Diana's store here.

A closer view of sweet Tilda...

And a few other shots...

This sentiment is from Just Rite Stampers called Stitched with Love Borders and Centers.
The set was a gift from Sandy Dehon.

The punch around the page is a Martha Stewart punch the name of which I no longer have. All my CS is from SU and most of it is retired.


Well, now off to spend the rest of the day creating two more bags. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Your visits and comments are always much appreciated.
Hope you're have a great week so far.

Blessings and hugs,

Barb
