Pull EZ ribbon storage

Lots and lots of ribbons. Some of my ribbons turned out to be adhesive backed so they aren't in any of the holes (there's a pocket in the lid so that's where I put them). I guess I have enough ribbon (I must be a ribbon junkie as well as a paper junkie) and I need to start using it more. I didn't get to play around with my ribbons, papers or stamps today because I had a Kirby salesman stop at my house this afternoon.

I'm now the "proud" owner of a Kirby vacuum. I was impressed with the cleaning ability it had, how easy it is to push, and the lifetime guarantee (I don't ever want to have to shop for another vacuum again!). He sucked up lots of dirt and cat hair after running my vacuum for a longer time than I would normally run it and then he used the Kirby and still got more dirt. I just bought a new steam cleaner Wednesday, and about 2 months ago, I had bought a Kenmore upright so it was a little sad to let brand new machines go away. However, I got a "trade-in" for the vacuums for twice what they were worth so that helped me to mentally and financially afford it. The Kirby got the 2 year old chocolate stain out of DS#2's light solid colored carpet that I hand scrubbed (yes, I was on my hands and knees scrubbing it) Tuesday. Too bad he didn't stop by earlier this week before I went shopping. Guess, I ought to start my "Spring Cleaning" again since I have something that will do a better job than my old stuff but I don't really want to. I want to play with my fun stuff before summer school starts next week, not with Kirby! Esp. now that I've committed myself to two years of easy payments, I need to play with and use up what I have because I can't justify (to myself) spending money on stamps and such. I'll just have to wait for TAC's discontinued list to come out this fall/winter and buy what's leaving and can't live without (I just made a big TAC purchase because half of my wish list was being discontinued and I had to get them now).

Created Graduation Gift & Card

So here's part of what I'm giving for Graduation. A bookmark and a Congratulations card. For the card, I used my cuttlebug folder on the green cardstock, rubbed light blue ink over the raised image (first time trying that technique and it wasn't too difficult), and used pop dots under the sequin stars. For the bookmark, I stamped the letters (TAC stamps) and used gel pens (various brands) to color. I used my Creative Memories wavy trimmer to make the curvy edge, I just hope it doesn't look too much like a dress maniquin or curvaceous woman. LOL

Stupid holiday on my birthday

MIL Mother's Day Card

Some BUNNY loves you

This is what I made to mail to my Mom for Mother's Day. This card was made using the stuff I got from Lisa, my TAC source. I colored the bunny in the potted flowers but she stamped it and punched it out with the scalloped circle punch.
