birthday present

oh, and look what i finally got in the mail yesterday...

my birthday present from my husband! isn't he the best?!?!
i am so excited. i've already downloaded the program that i can use to cut things i design in illustrator and gave it a whirl this morning with great success.
weeeeee!

happy holidays acrylic card

thought up this card before bed the other night and had to get up to find my notebook so i wouldn't forget. don't you hate when that happens?? haha.

you really must see it larger... it's hard to make out. duh, it's clear;)

supplies used:
stamps: penny black; holidays, inkadinkado; snowflake
paper: mm fa la la; skinny stripe; bazzill; lily pad, clover leaf dots, archiver's; red
adhesive: pop dots, tombo; vellum adhesive
ink: versacolor; black, stazon opaque; cotton white, colorbox chalk; chestnut roan
acrylic: grafix; clear craft plastic

address labels

since deer are so cool this year, i decided to design the address labels for our xmas cards:

of course, that isn't our names or our address, but you get the picture. i really like the look of square address labels. really, i just get tired of the same ol' rectangle;)

anywho, if you are interested in some (either like these or you have an idea for a custom design), let me know and i'll see what i can do. i love graphic design.
