roommate gift Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Well, made it back safely from Leadership in Orlando on Saturday night. I moved up my flight from Sunday due to all the snow that we were supposed to get. Ended up not being much of anything…but I was glad I came home just in case. I knew I probably wouldn’t have slept at all thinking about it anyway. I also brought home a bad cold! It hit me the first day I was there. Two good nights of sleep and I’m feeling much better.

One of the fun things of Leadership is giving roommate and friend gifts. Here’s what I made my roommate, Annette, with the new Bouquet Bigz Die!

It is a fun desk notepad that I decorated with a belly band and the big flower on top from the Bouquet Bigz Die in the Occasions Catalog. Real Red, Night of Navy, Baked Brown Sugar and Very Vanilla cardstocks matched it PERFECTLY!

I also made a matching bag tag for her Leadership bag so it didn’t get mixed up with the thousands of other bags! I just used the smaller petals to make the smaller flower.

I normally don’t do roller coasters or rides, mainly because of a bad experience on The Beast at Kings Island. However, our Manager’s Reception was held at Disney World and I was roped into riding the Hollywood Tower of Terror! Yikes! But…I loved it so much that I rode it TWICE…the second time in front! Great night! These Mickey Mouse shaped Key Lime Shortbread Cookies were my favorite dessert, too!

OK…guess that is enough for now! Check back for more later!

OOPS! My title is wrong…this is the Simple Stems stamp set! Yikes!

I thought I'd show you the project that I made for my Roommate at Leadership this year! I used a couple of the new sets in the Occasions Catalog…Simple Stems and Just Sayin'!

I found these key/mail caddy's that were black with a zebra print on the front. I removed the zebra paper and used it as a template for the Kaleidoscope Designer Paper I glued on the front. The caddy was a perfect size to hold a notebook and pen and a little package of Hershey nuggets wrapped in a cello bag! I'm wanting to make one up for myself to hang my Stampin' Up! lanyards. You could also put in a package of decorated note cards! I grabbed up a bunch of them to do "something" with someday, and think this turned out really cute!

I'm mad that I didn't keep the measurements of the notepad folder I made…I'll have to recreate it at one point. I like that the pen is held in a pocket so you don't lose it, too! Everything fit in the caddy and then I wrapped it up and placed in a large cello bag tied with ribbon.

Isn't it CUTE???? I really hoped she liked it!
