Goo Goo Baby Tent Card - how cute!

So on my way to dinner, driving down the highway I thought OMG!! I won't get to post this cutie becasue I am about to give it away - so what did I do... whipped out my trusty camera and took the pic righ there on the highway - LOL - you know I love you guys, right :)


I whipped this "baby" up in no time ... nothing like hubby saying we've been invited out to dinner at the last minute to a friend's place who's baby shower was postponed because she had the flu (while preggo - yuck!) and the resceduled date conflicts so I really wasn't prepared to bring her a gift and hadn't prepared a card yet. So, I always wanted to try this style of card and had the perfect size of scrap cardstock to fold for it to fit into my cute little 3X3 envelopes and the perfect paper and little buttons to fiish it off. There's a tutorial/template here if you need it, and the ribbon and embroidery floss accent were coloured with my Copic Y21 and the edge of the card too.

Tips & Tricks: Double CD Holder

Pretty Pressings has this awesome tutorial on making a double CD holder. This is the original tutorial, and although in German, it's pretty self-explanatory. This is her most recent one double-CD holder - and it is adorable!! All you need is Ihr werdet 2 12x12 Papier brauchen (eines gemustert und eines unifarben) Scoring Tool, Bonefolder fuer gute Faltungen, starkes doppelseitiges Klebeband, Embellishments, Band, Stanzer (Kreis oder was euch gefaellt) - HAHAH... that means 2 - 12X12 papers, one plain and one patterened), something about your scoring tool, ribbon and embellishments of course and a punch to allow you to pull out the CD on the left side. I didn't even use a translator, the tutorial is that self-explanatory!

Thanks Claudia!

Moi? A challenge??

Looks like exhaustion has made way for some much needed solitude - and time to use my hands to make something pretty :)

Thank you MojoMonday!!
