Gift Tag with Gift

Here are the Kahlua bottles with the tags that I made to go with them.  I used Martha Stewarts Bottle labels I found at Micheals on clearance.  They worked out so perfectly.  Then I added my own touch with the handmade tags.  Our friends and family enjoy recieving our homemade Kahlua and we enjoy making it for them.

Gift Tags

Each year my husband and I make something for our guest that come to our Christmas Party, this year we made Kahlua.  I wanted to make a tag for the bottles that they could reuse.  I had a lot of fun making these tags, they came out so cute.  Thanks to my Son's girlfriend that helped me put together 25 flowers.

Suspension Card- Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom!!

For my Dad's birthday I made a special shaped card so I figured I needed to do the same for my Mom's, I love the way this card came out.  This is my new favorite and will for sure be making more of them in the future.  I got the idea of this swing type card from SplitCoast Stampers.  I'm not sure what my style is yet because I love to try different techniques and styles, but I do love to make cards that the receiver will enjoy.

Happy Birthday Drink

Another card using the Sentiment: Conserve Water, Drink Beer

I had to make a quick and simple card for a birthday, I couldn't resist using this cut along with the sentiment.  I placed acetate on the mug to make it appear like glass.  You can't really see it in the photo but in person it looks pretty neat.
