Calendar Page

How fast is the year going already! I have a group of friends and we get together every month to stamp or in some cases just chat and eat nibbles! LOL! Every year we do a group calendar and we do 2 months each and make 6 of each month, once they are all done we swap and end up with a full completed calendar! This year I got to create January and July! So this is my January. I will take some pictures of the rest and show you them all over the next few weeks!

Hope you like it!

Treat box card

Can you believe it this is my 2nd post this week! Start as you mean to go on I say!!! LOL! I had a stamping night with a friend last night and even though I had 3 projects I wanted to complete, I only managed to complete this one! I think there was a lot of chatting going on! He he he! But 1 is better that none!

Anywho this is a treat box card that Marisol Gutierrez Designed for the end of year blow out UStamp that is well under way! I loved it as soon as I laid eyes on it!!! I have changed the colours and used up a little of my favorite retired DSP and ribbon! I found it so hard to get a good photo, the window sheet in the box shows all sorts of glare and background images!

Hope you like it!
