8X8 Page for a 40th Birthday

In a couple of weeks one of my good friends is celebrating her 40th birthday.  As part of the festivities, her husband is throwing her a surprised birthday party.  Her sister has asked her friends to bring a scrapbook page for make a gift for her.  I couldn't come up with a photo anywhere of the two of us that I could use.  So, this is what I ended up with.

SPP Mingle - September

For the September Mingle over at ScorPalPals we needed to make a Center Step Card.  I have some older Stampin' Up 6X6 paper packs that I thought I'd try to make something with.  So, I picked this Regal Rose paper, then turned to my Color Coach to try and figure out what other papers to put with it.  This is what I came up with...

Blue Envelope Card

Here we go again...I needed a second Thank You card for my mom and I really like how the last one turned out.  So, I used the same paper and the same card design for this card.

Orange Envelope Card

My Mom asked me to make her a couple of thank you cards.  She is picking them up next week and I've left it to the last minute...mostly because I haven't had that much time lately.  Over at ScorPalPals they have an Envelope Card challenge going on so I thought I'd do one of those.

Purse Gift Card Holder

Over the summer I signed up to join an exchange.  I love exchanging with this group of ladies as there is so much talent in the group.  For this exchange we had to chose a holiday and make a gift card holder for it.  Fast foward to now...I left it to the last minute ... again... My biggest problem was to pick a holiday.  In the end I pick some paper that I really liked and had lots of and went ahead and just made a gift card holder.  I decided that the holiday would be "Just Cause".  As for the pattern for this gift card purse, I got it several years ago from my friend, she had scored the paper for me and gave me all the pieces, but I had never actually put it together.  I was excited to give it a try.  The purse is super simple to make and it was easy to make lots.  I did go looking for a tutorial for it so I could share.
