Not so boring Gift Card Holders!!

~~Don't forget to enter for my Blog Candy posted HERE! Odds are good!~~

I love gift cards!! Giving them and getting them =:O) but I dislike store bought gift card holders and want the recipient to know that even though its a gift card, I was thinking of them personally so I made a fun and beautiful way to make them a little more dressed up and festive, using a Bazzill library pocket!! Easy Peasy!!

The small tag inside has been covered with vintage sheet music, distressed and then a little paint on the top using crackle paint! When it was dry I stamped with Papertrey Inc. stamps...(which just might be my favorite stamps ever!!) The larger tea stained tag has been decorated with matching paper and the perfect size for a gift card!! Click on the pictures to enlarge them a little!

I'm doing my first Holiday Boutique in a month. Exciting stuff!! I have to start thinking of yummy things to sell!! Have any ideas???

I made this page for my OLDER Sister and strangely enough, I often thought about dinosaurs, the invention of the wheel, the discovery of fire and then electricity, while I was making this page. Time it seemed, just spun by...in the end....I was left with a beautiful vintage type page which reminded me of her and all the crazy, fun years that have past before and how I can't wait to see whats coming up next...

This is the first time I have used a Webster's Pages scrapbook paper and I really enjoyed leaving the writing on the page as part of the focal point on the page. The pocket watch couldn't have been more perfect for a Birthday page, unfortunately you can see how sparkly it is from all the Glimmer Mist I sprayed on it!!! Here is a close up of the Melissa Frances sentiment:

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed doing my own layouts and this page inspired me to get into the grove of trying to catch up on some of my personal books which I always seem to push off to the side in the never ending attempt to make a little money.
Heather, I hope you like it! Happy Birthday! I wonder if Diane will have a Bundt cake for you?? SpOiLeD!! Wish I was there!
Hugs,
