The sparkle paper was bought at the Paper Store in Toronto and all the rest is SU!

Milestones

Last night a bunch of my Splitcoaststampers and I went to Milestones in Mississauga where we had ballinis and appetizers. I made this votive holder to match the ballinis which had the adorable red high heel shoes on top of the drink. We had such a good time!Diana made this cute heart shaped basket for me for the last time we were to get together but I couldn't make it. She saved me one and brought it last night. Wasn't that thoughtful?!
Diana made this bookmark as well. There was also, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Elmo and the one I chose here, Big Bird.

She also has a punch swap located here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=492386 I've joined and maybe you would like to as well!

Autumn Splendour Tri Fold Shutter card

I used the Autumn Splendour stamps to make my own designer paper. First I started with plain white card stock, stamped the images using versa mark, then poured gold embossing powder over top and set the images with a heat gun. Next, I sponged on colours that are in the other papers used. Voila, my own designer paper.

To make a trifold shutter card you need 12 x 12 paper cut to 12 x 5 1/2. Score at 2, 4, 8, 10 inches. Make 1/4 turn and cut from 2 inch score to 10 inch score 1 1/2 inches from top and bottom. Decorate, fold and give to someone special.

Autumn Side Step

One more side step card. This time I used Autumn Splendour stamp set from SU! I also used the pop dots for some dimension.
