So we got hit with the mother of all snowstorms, a level 3 emergency snowstorm, near blizzard conditions -- meaning we have some serious cabin fever, and 12 inches of snow outside. It's been snowing all day and just stopped --- I'll have to get a pic of it tomorrow - but it's piled pretty high up making it tough to even get out the front door. So we're stuck inside and just waiting for any sign of spring, sigh!
I've been keeping myself busy however, and I had a bunch of these cards lying around - some packaging from Making Memories Noteworthy brads that I held onto because the packaging was so pretty - label shaped.I know, I am a serious packrat. I ended up making a few cards though, and very pleased with the end results. I loved being able to use left over scraps of paper for this - it's a great way to use up leftover bits and pieces. A few notes:
On the third card (the cupcakey one) I used a medallion punch from Spirelli. I found these at CHA and loved them. Especially after having the teeny one from Martha Stewart, I wanted them in all sizes. You can get the Spirelli punch (I bought the medium sized one) here: Classic Spirelli Punches
The flip side of that card that has a cupcake stamp and pennant on it was bought last year - it's the Birthday Set from Savvy Stamps - I think I bought it at Impress Rubber Stamps online -- but it's no longer there when I check. If I find it I'll post an update here. Off to get some dinner... stay warm!
Oh Ranjini! By the time the storm got to you the winds had really picked up! We got about 10 inches? And it's heavy, hard-to-shovel snow.... so take care while trying to dig out! I stayed inside and did a shutterfly photo album of our wedding! :) It was SO cold!

Those cards are so cool Ranjini! We even got two days of snow here in N.Texas. And of course there was one day of 70 degree weather between the two snow days! I'm surprised we are not all sick.
Stay warm.

hahaha...this is too funny, I commented on these at 2 peas and didn't even realize that they were by you! Just goes to show that I REALLY love your stuff, eh?!
