Sketches in Thyme Reveal Day!

Over at Sketches in Thyme, we are using a wonderful sketch from Helen Croft this week.  I am absolutely loving working with her sketches - they are fabulous!!  Be sure to head over to the Sketches in Thyme blog to see what the other design team members have done!

Here is my take on the sketch:

This is a lovely photo of the gals that I worked with at Archiver's.  It's so fun to have this memory!!  The dimensional flowers are fussy cut from a piece of paper.  I set my gems with the Imaginisce i-rock tool.

Items used: Bo Bunny Jazmyne paper, sticker, and brads; Bazzill flower; Imaginisce gems

Mom's Christmas Card & A Little Surprise

Well actually, I made two of these cards, and they are going to my mother and Jerry's mother. I founded some beautiful SEI Winter Song paper for this project. In the two places where you see ribbon, it is actually triple layered (all CTMH) - Colonial White organdy, Cranberry Organdy, and Colonial White crocheted ribbon. When I do this many layers of ribbon, I use Terrifically Tacky for adhering them. I scalloped the bottom of the front side of the card and dusted it with CTMH Heavenly Blue ink. The embellishments are pretty simple. Random snowflakes (I think they are Jolee's). My large embellishment is a 4" snowflake cut from my Slice layered with a Bazzill flower and glittered dot. Easy peasy, but elegant for our mothers.

Now for my surprise! I was interviewed last week at Archiver's to be an instructor. Today I learned that I was hired!! I'll be starting next week (after my orientation this week), and I couldn't be more excited!! I have shopped and cropped at this particular Archiver's for so long, and I love the team of women that are employed there. It is going to be amazing being their co-worker and learning the ropes from them! I am so looking forward to teaching again, so I feel very blessed that Archiver's offered me this opportunity!

What a great day!!
