Guest Artist Amy Halbert

Today I have my BFF Amy's art to share with you. She and I worked on almost all our VC Rocks! swaps together including our roomie boxes. We made the same gifts for our awesome roomies, just switched out DSP to suit our roomies likes and dislikes. Here are Amy's gorgeous gifts, made with the Greenhouse Gala DSP:

What do you think? I just loved them, and Greenhouse Gala wasn't a paper I thought I

liked until she made these with them. Since we were on the 70's floor, Amy thought this

had a real 70's feel to it, and it really does, doesn't it?

Thanks so much for dropping in today and don't forget to leave Amy some comments to tell

her how much you liked her work. See ya again soon!

My Third Handmade Gift for my Roomie

Are you tired of these Roomie Box Gifts yet? Ok, I will skip a couple of days after this one, lol. Anyway, today's project was the last of the desk set I made for Elizabeth. It was again made with the Elegant Soiree DSP, and is a portfolio. I made one of these a couple of years ago for my roomie, Ellen K, and she loved it, so each
year, I make one for my new roomie, and so far, everyone has absolutely loved it. Here is Elizabeths:



Isn't it pretty? I'm telling ya, I love this paper.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to spend with me. Hugs,

Another Roomie Box Gift-Candy Tin

Today I have another share for you from my roomie box. I sent Elizabeth her favorite
mailable candy, Butterscotch, in this tin, decorated again with the Elegant Soiree DSP in the new Idea Book and Catalog.

This also turned out great! I just love the look of this paper, I really didn't think
I would like it, but picked it out for Elizabeth. After making these gifts, I really love this paper and will be picking up a package for more gifts.

I have more to show, so come back soon. Ta!

Gifts For My Roomie

My VC Rocks! Roomie this year was an awesome lady from Texas, Hi Elizabeth! Those Texas ladies are great, a couple of years ago, I had another Texas Rocker for my Roomie and she and I are still friends. Hi, Ellen. Anywho, we exchange gift boxes and here is one of the gifts I made for my roomie.

This item was cased from our new Idea Book and Catalog, well, the idea was but I changed DSP, etc, to make it my own.

I really hope she liked it, it turned out adorable.

Thanks again for stopping by. Comments are appreciated.
