party til the cows come home

one of the women I work with retired earlier this year.  Just as I have a things for penguins, she has a thing for cows.  So when I saw this stamp set, I HAD to get it and make her a special set of note cards. 

I used a watercolour wash for the background and stamped the images and cut them out with my brother scan n cut.  (I don't know what I would do without it).  It saves me so much time on fussy cutting.  I don't mind it, but when I have a lot, this little baby comes to the rescue. 

With special note cards, you can't have naked envelopes!  these little guys are so cute! 

To say my friend liked these is an understatement.   In fact she even sent one to me to thank me for them LOL  so it's a good thing I know they're being used!

Christmas Treats for co-workers

Every year I make holiday treats for my co-workers in my office.  This will usually be about 70 just for the office I am in.  I also make some extras for the employees at my local WaWa and a few of the customers that I see every day and talk to.

I filled test tube treat holders with red and green M&Ms and the holder was made to hold the accent piece of Santa going head first down the chimney.

I took a 6x6 piece of cherry cobbler card stock and used the brick embossing folder. I then cut the pieces down to fit the base. I also used my Stampin' Up! Blendies to colour in the Santa image.

these were well received by all who got them.  I love doing holiday treats for my co-workers


thanks for stopping by...
