what I did on my spring vacation, lol!!

Happy Easter everyone and welcome to my blog.  I have been very busy in my craft room this week as I had a week left to take off of work before the next vacation period begins. 
I have decorated a note book, assembled my first Paper Pumpkin kit, made some cards to put in my newly (almost) decorated card keeper, cased a very lovely card design from Heather Summers over at Stamp with Heather http://stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/ for my grandmother`s 93rd birthday (pictured above), prepared a few thank you gifts for my Stampin`Up! clients and made a necklace for my cousin using Simply Adorned products (retired).
I switched up the design from the Paper Pumpkin kit just a bit on three of the cards, so that they would not all be the same. 

Paper Pumpkin kit

 

 This is my notebook that I decorated using the Tea for Two designer series paper, Tea Time Trinkets, Paper doilies, Early Espresso Baker`s Twine and 

the Oh, Hello stamp set and the Ovals framelits dies.

 

This is my card keeper.  SU! no longer sells the kit, I have had it sitting on a shelf waiting for more than a year!  I used my all time favourite dsp, Spice Cake to decorate the box, as well as a Soft Suede label using a framelit from the Apothecary Accents kit.  I am in the process of colouring some flowers in Pool Party ink to add a flower to the right hand side of the label.
