A Labor of Love...
For A Sweetie...
At work...
A Gift for Starlet complete!
There is just the sweetest gal at work, Starlet, she is amazingly kind and just a darling. I photographed her and her husband right after their elopement, and fell in love. From that point forward we were fast friends. I wanted to make her a "special" thank you gift for her kindness, generosity and sweetness at Christmastime. I shopped at Sassy Cheryl's and found the perfect new image for my project. In Photoshop I inserted the sentiment into the heart for the thank you card of my project. I left the other 10 cards with empty hearts, leaving that up to Star - whether they become Valentine's, Thank You's, Birthday's or any occasion she wishes. I cuttlebug embossed, colored to my heart's content (literally - ran out of R20 on the last card), colored the stickpin, and cut with my sizzix dies. Then... I had to tackle the BOX - since these are A2 size (the envies are clear and a "roomy" A2 size), I had to do math (ugh!). I used my EK egdge punch and stamped with one of my favorite heart stamps, dressed it up with some of my stash ribbon, added the pearls, and finished up my Sweetheart set for sweet Starlet.
Thanks for stopping by,
(((sweetheart hugs)))
