UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

How about a corkboard picture/gift?

Don't you love looking through your drawers of "treasures that you're sure you are going to use someday!" Well, I found this 6 x 6 piece of cork board that I had cut down, and decided to make a little bulletin board-type picture out of it. This is our daughter, Shelly, and her older son, Joshua who was then about 18 months old. The picture was a 4"x 6" so I had to add some white card stock on top of the cork board before I could place the picture.  I just stapled the ribbon to the back of the cork board. Osh Hardware (S CA) had the cork board in  12 x 12 sheets, so I cut it down with an exacto knife.

Having fun with a Birthday Envelope

Last Saturday we celebrated our daughter Shelly's 27th birthday. I really wanted to use the large bigz alphabet, and of course, the letters, "Shelly" won't fit on a regular size envelope!  So one thing led to another and here is the envelope that I came up with for her card. I started with a 1" black strip and the flowers are from the Boho Blossoms Punch plus the 1/4" punch.  Shelly likes yellow and black.  I think a derivation of this idea could be really nice for a scrapbook page if I ever did scrapbooking!
