Thoroughly Modern Gift Set



I made this gift set for my sister, Amy. She is very good at spoiling me....and I wanted to do the same back to her!
I am in love with this paper: Thoroughly Modern. I added the Lovely Letter's to my alphabet collection. in the summer...and am loving this set as well. The Floral Fusion Big Shot die (for the flowers on the bookmark) is another favorite accessory of mine.
Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Stamping! Annette

Wedding Gift Box



My cousin Michael married a beautiful girl named Nicole. They live in California. I was unable to attend their wedding. :( I wanted to make a monogram gift set for them. Their wedding invite and the colors in the wedding were Red- which follows a Chinese tradition. I tried to capture this theme in their gift box set I made.
The monogram letters are embossed with Chocolate Chip craft. I used markers for the flowers. There is glitter on the flowers as well (you can't really see this in the picture). I then sprayed everything with a sealant. The box is FILLED with these cards, two matching note pads and pens. I hope they enjoy them! It was fun to make!
Happy stamping! Annette

Of The Earth



My sister's little puppy of 14 years died recently and I made this card for her. She loved that little guy very much. Life is full of many ups and downs. Thank God we have friends and family to help us get through it. My heart goes out to you, Aim.
I will not be posting the rest of the week. Check back at the end of next a week to see what Halloween creations I will have made (hopefully) over the Labor Day weekend.
Hugs, Annette
