Get well card

Hi,
This is my first card using the All in the Family stamp set from Stampin Up. I love this set but it requires a bit more time to use them. All the bodies and faces are separate so you need to use the Stamp a ma jig to be sure everything is centered. It's nice having the stamps separate because that way, you get more choices to customize your little people.

I'm not fond of this card, so I will continue playing with the set until I finally get the hang of it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gift can

Hi
I was in a hurry yesterday and was only able to post the pictures of the gift can and shopping list.
I wanted to explain how the gift can works. I opened it from the bottom, so the tab top was intact. That way, I can fill the can with treats and glue the bottom back on. Then when the recipient gets the gift, they pull the tab on the top to open. :) I love this idea!


I really want to create today but I should do housework instead. I bought a reallly cute set, I can't wait to use them. I'll post something soon. :)
