I made this pack of 10 cards for my hostess tonight .. do they look familiar ? They should ,cause look HERE
I used pixie pink and black for her cards colored in "Friends " with coordinating markers in Pixie pink. Pink passion & Black added a touch a pixie pink to the background of Friends with my dauber , I dyed some white GG ribbon with pixie pink reinker and also used a tad bit of Black GG ribbon attached with staples . I also used the slit punch for my black scallops and the scallop scissors ( retired ) from SU! for the bottom pixie pink scallop. For the saying " The Best things in Life are always hand picked, Like good friends"I used from the living large stamp set , I took the dauber and applied a hint of pixie pink over top of the bottom saying.. I just love the way these turned out ..
UPDATE! on my crop-a-dile OH MY Goodness .. This tool ROCKS .. I received my goody yesterday and I love love Love it .. You will all want this Fancy tool for your own ..I promise Don’t walk ~RUN to get it .. Even IF My hubby had spent the full price on this tool( which he didn’t ) It is worth its weight in GOLD.. Punching through your chip board is like butter and setting eyelets is a dream . This tool is sooo massive in size Don’t be afraid of it girls .. I can do all the punching and setting with one hand.and remember I use to use all the reg punches to make holes and set my eyelets .. actually setting my eyelets before use to hurt my hands so much that I had to use the table top side rail as a backing for my eyelet setting with my other punches .( push my handles up against the table top and squeeze handle .. this was the only way I could set my eyelets with out my eyelets setter and hammer ( I always hated getting those 3 tools( setter , hammer , mat ) out Just to set a couple eyelets ) so then I started using the punches which were alot less of a mess and my punches were always in reach . But man did it hurt my hands to try and squeeze those eyelets to set them . This Crop -a-dile is I believe the 8th wonder of the world .. NO kidding I love it that much .. Now I am so excited to use it on everything .. remember the tool looks very intimidating BUT it is very simple to work By just remembering that your 2 side punches are for making your holes( you can even adjust the depth you want for your holes ) and the two top pieces are for setting eyelets or snaps with different sizes for your different sized eyelets .. The video HERE explains how this wonderful tool works I am so excited to hear a few of you have already purchased yours from a couple days ago YAHOO! I promise you wont be unhappy with it ..
Last Night Jessie and her friend spent the night over at grandmas house and Me and hubby relaxed and caught up on all my CSI shows with our TIVO ( still loving Tivo ) I felt the Little sniffles coming on so I just chilled out on my comfy couch and watched one of my Favorite shows CSI .I have to run and get dogie food today and finished up on the last minute things for tonight’s club meeting .( very exited about this ) Please Lord don’t let me forget something , Like I usually do

Hey girl. Love those adorable cards for your hostess. Sorry about the snow! We are having rain here right now (needed it BAD!) I peeked out the back window on the south side and saw a bunch of daffodils blooming! You can come here to celebrate Spring early. I tried to link to the RAKs but did not have any luck. Would you mind sending it to me? Thanks for letting us know about it. Luv, Janet in NC
Love the cards Dawn! Awesome job as always!! The crop-a-dile is great, isn’t it???
That card is so cute in both colors! I really like the different sizes of scallops and the placement of the ribbons!
Too funny, I didn’t even realize when I saw the set of cards in person at the meeting that you had already posted this card back at the beginning of the year just in a different color. Both are awesome!
Hi Dawn,
Just me again. I love the He Has Risen card that you made. It is so pretty. I love that you added the glitter becuase it really made the card elegant looking.
I did sign up for the blogers RAK over a week ago and I am still waiting for my confirmation. Whata neat idea.
