NEW PROJECTS!!!

I FINALLY got to scrap this past weekend (and not at the house) for almost 11 hours!! Plus I got the dining room cleaned (well it was clean) and have all my scrapbooking stuff in there. So in the last few days I have gotten quite a few projects completed. And more to do!!


Before I post the new projects, I want to post this project that I made for Christmas presents. I made 10 of these. I'm not posting the recipe for these. However, if you want the details, please leave a comment or email me. These took quite awhile to make and put together, but they were worth it!!!

MY NEW SUIT

I don't remember which font I used to cut the Words (even though I just made this on Saturday), however I used the Billionaire Cartridge to make the Vest and Tie. I used Bazzill Metallic in Navy Blue cut the vest and tie and to mat the pictures. It matched the suit vest in the pictures perfectly!
