grad card $$ holders

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all those wonderful mothers and wives out there!!! I have had THE best day so far...actually yesterday morning I proclaimed this weekend was Mother's Day weekend! I thought I have put in alot of years as mother and wife and I should really just get 2 days! ...right!!? So yesterday was part one and today is part two. I will share more tomorrow on my family blog if you are interested. I will just say that I have THE sweetest kids and they have made these last 2 days extremely fun and special and I am lucky to be their mom!! Ok...on to the card details!! A friend of mine asked if I could make some $$ holders for lots of graduates she needed cards for. I told her no problem....as soon as she asked an idea popped into my head. I took the same idea for a gift certificate I made back in March and just changed it up a bit to make them graduation friendly. She said it would be fun to have them all different and that was great with me cuz it was a great way to use up some paper that's been laying around.
This was a fun and fairly quick project. I made them to fit into envelopes that are 6 1/2 x 3 5/8 in. In the picture above where you see the piece of striped paper is the pocket to put the $$ in. The band just slides off and on. Thanks for stoppin' in....I hope that you have had a fantabulous weekend!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU for always leaving such nice comments....you gals are awesome!!!!!

a SU gift certificate

I needed to make a gift certificate for a friend that wanted to give one to her daughter. I didn't have alot of time...but this is what I came up with! It turned out pretty cute I think....I made it to fit in a 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 in. envelope. I used the Afternoon Tea dsp again! On the band I just added a flower from the Friendship Blooms set that was in the Sale-a-bration catalog...I have had it for a while and forgot I had it! {oops}
{{{by the way...should anyone out there want one of these...start dropping those hints to the gift givers in your life and have them contact me and you can have one too!!!}}}
Anyway...have a terrific day! My sweet hubby is out of town for the weekend and so I am bravin' it alone with the kids for the last few days of Spring Break!! We are going to see "Horton hears a Who" and take advantage of the beeeeauuuutiful weather and go to the park too!
