Scor-Pal Card Box

I participated in a Scor-Pal challenge. For newbies, Scor-Pal is the wonderful "scoring" tool used to "score" lines on your cards, boxes, etc. You must visit their website for "filled to overflowing" free projects! Don't FORGET: you can get your Scor-Pal at half price with your $100 TAC funshop/order!! Quite a value, don't you think? Email me for more info on this. Okay, getting back to the challenge, this gift box holds four matching greeting cards. I used Tutti Fruitti paper collection. Notice how I cut out flowers from the paper to use as the center embellishments...I love this paper! I also used Audrey buttons from our button collection...you gotta click on buttons to see how cute the collections is! Since this is an "all occasion" gift card set, the Ordinary Greetings stamp set is PERFECT for this. I used Cuttlebug embossing folders for the blue bottom, the center banner and scallop circle on box. Here are the results of this challenge: Any questions or anything I can help you with? please email me. Thanks for dropping by and have a glorious day!!

RAK's

Hello! I'm back! Just wanted to share some pictures of RAKS from some of my friends: Here are pictures where I finally used the Magnolia Tilda stamp images that Tonje so generously sent me during the holidays! Okay, okay I know it took me a while to use them but so glad I did. These are so cute and I'll be posting some other ones as I get to them. Thanks Tonje! Here are pictures of a beautifully monogrammed card gift set from my friend Sue. Isn't it just wonderful?...just like her! She is so talented and she's always blessing me with her artwork! Gracias, Sue! I received this Blogging Friends Forever award from Monica. Click here because part of the rules is to use the twinks bank icon and I didn't know how to do that...I'm also still trying to figure out what Twinks bank stands for...anyone know? At any rate, I was thankful for Monica for nominating my blog. Thank you so much again, Monica and hey, people, please visit Monica to see her blog and her wonderful artwork! Glad you're visiting. Thanks! Just so you understand my absence, I have been busy getting my son ready for college, boo-hoo...gonna miss him BIG TIME! Have an awesomeday!
