Fourth of July Favors 2012

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick little treat for the work peeps! I had something else in mind for these cute AVON hand creams, but you know the best laid plans . . . !  So I settled for a quick tag and a bit of ribbon. I think they look adorable and who wouldn't want to come into work and find this little baby next to their keyboard? AVON always has a little 99 cent something in almost every book and I like to try to dress them up just a bit. I used my favorite DSA2 for the tag and printed then out on photo paper, punched them out with a Stampin' up punch, tied the tags on and called it a day.  Easy peasy for sure!
Here they are happily on my sideboard until I take them to work.

  Have a great holiday and thanks for stopping by.

Another Sign

                                                                                    Hi All,

This is the sign I saw

I sure have been busy the last couple of weeks.  So many chores around the house to do for spring clean up.  Add in work and some family time and the ole' craftspace has been dark!  So today I found some free time between laundry loads and made another sign.  I saw this in an online catalog and just loved it.  I again used some recycled chipboard and my friend Huey the VAIO to print the graphics.  I left out the & sign because I just didn't like how it looked.  I like how my version came out and best yet I save myself from another purchase.  I am having a lot of fun playing with ink and sanding the paper.  And the new HP large format printer is amazing.  I am using the new after market ink system and I think that the colors are even nicer than the HP ink. I hope you like my sign and give one a try.
Thanks for visiting,  Lysa
