~ Farewell to Stephanie

We were surprised to find out last week that our newest analyst was leaving us this week.  To help make her farewell luncheon a little more special, I made candy boxes to put at each place setting at the restaurant.  She loves purple so I made purple tags using twine from The Twinery – so cute!

Supplies:

  • The Twinery – twine
  • K&Company – patterned cardstock
  • Wausau Paper – cardstock
  • Bazzill – cardstock
  • We R Memory Keepers – eyelets
  • Paper Source – satin ribbon

 

~ USMC Retirement Easel Card

Image

Let the party continue!  There is another event for the Spasojevich extended family today.  Yesterday was the retirement ceremony and this afternoon there is a renewal of wedding vows at the chapel at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.  I made this easel card from the photos I took yesterday that my husband will present to Col Spasojevich with a couple of small tokens of appreciation. =)

~ Valentine’s Day Card Class

Here are the photos from my first class of the year!  Valentine’s Day tends to be a big draw for my office!

I kept the design of the card simple but provided a lot of paper and embellishment options for each of the participants to design their own unique projects.  To ensure that the attention would be paid to putting the projects together instead of the mechanics of prepping the different pieces, I pre-cut/creased all of the paper and pre-assembled ribbon bundles.
