Christmas Gifts - Checkbook Covers and Bookmarks

A few months ago for our Stampin' Up Card Club, our Demo Kathy had these checkbook covers for us to decorate. She also had some samples of the bookmarks she'd made for us to look at.
My first though (along with some of the other girls) was 'What GREAT gifts!!'
So this is what I came up with:

This set is for my cousin's new wife Olga.


This set went to my nephew's wife Alex... she LOVES
daisies, and the color turquoise!


This set is for my sister Gail. She loves flowers and
always has cardinals out her door where she feeds them.


Sunflowers?? Has to be for Mom!!! She also sews constantly
so I thought the buttons would be lots of fun.


This set went to my Aunt Nancy... she loves kitties too!!!
and I also know how she loves purple.


I sure hoped they like the checkbook covers and bookmarks!!!

Your comments are always appreciated!

Nephew's Birthday Card

My youngest nephew's birthday was coming up - and in trying to be a good Aunt, I had to call my sister to find out what his latest favorite colors are. (In addition to getting him the birthday card on time.) :)

Red and Black was the answer for his favorite colors... and having done some wonderful cards with my Stampin' Up rep lately... this is what I came up with!

After cutting and inking all the layers, I got out my Circle Circus stamp set, and had fun stamping all over the red!!! I know he liked the card as I got an estatic THANKS! when I spoke with him. Whew!!

:)

Please enjoy!!
