Coffee Cards and a little Bieber

I'm attaching pictures of my predicted best-sellers at my craft show this weekend... (you just never know what will sell, though?)  I came across the idea on Vicki Wizniuk's blog a few weeks ago - and couldn't resist making my own.  After showing a few people the result, it was clear that I should go into production.  If you're Canadian - you'll recognize the Tim's version, and I came up with a Starbucks version too:

Oh, and I just have to show you where my daughter & I were on Tuesday night... she got tickets to see Justin Bieber in Toronto for her birthday.  He was amazing - great performer, and he's just 16.

Tag Mania!

My posts will be few and far between this week... as I'm busy prepping for a craft show this coming weekend.  Today I was in assembly-line mode, making little gift tags to go in the goodie bags they're giving away to the first hundred people to come to the show.  If you're going to be close to Newmarket this weekend, send me an email, and I'll forward you the invite!  I had them all laid out on my table to do assembly-line stamping.  Here's what 90 tags look like:

I kept them pretty simple due to the volume.  They should be cute tied onto a kraft wine/gift bag with a red & silver Christmas tree.

Tri-fold stand up card

These are so hard to photograph!  But fun to make, and great to display.  Now to go and duplicate it several times for my craft show...

Patterned paper is Mistletoe; Cardstock is Cocoa & Colonial White; Stamp set is Holiday Trinkets; Inks are Sweet Leaf, Garden Green, Cranberry & Cocoa - all CTMH.

It's Your Day - other colours!

I've had a huge response to the Pear birthday card that I posted a few days ago, so I thought that I would post the other two colour versions that I did - Smoothie & Lagoon.  Together they look so bright and gorgeous!

Mojo Monday #165

With this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I wanted to get away from Christmas for a little while!  So I pulled out some fun Cosmo Cricket papers and CTMH's stamp of the month.  Here's the sketch:

I often go for dark bases, so it felt great to go soft and creamy with this one.  I zigzagged the ribbon onto the paper, too!

Patterned papers are Girl Friday, Cosmo Cricket; Cardstock is Blush & Colonial White; Inks are Crystal Blue & Lagoon; Stamp sets are Friendship Flowers & A Little Thanks; Twill ribbon - all CTMH; Martha Stewart punch.

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #23

A great sketch for this week's Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge - and I finally got a chance to use these little candy cane's that I've had sitting around forever!  Here's the sketch:

Patterned Paper is Mistletoe, Creative Basics & Mistletoe; Cardstock is Cocoa & Colonial White; Ink is Garden Green; Garden Green button; Chocolate Waxy Flax

It's Your Day

I love this graphic birthday stamp set - it looks great no matter what colours you choose.  I'm working on building my stock for a craft show later this month, and needed a few more generic birthday cards.  I REALLY  love these three new colours together:

Cardstock is Pear, White Daisy & Black; Inks are Pear, Lagoon, Smoothie & Black; Ribbon is Juniper; Stamp set is It's Your Day. - all CTMH
