Black Shadow Creations

My site is named after my Black Lab, Shadow. Shadow received his name by being my constant shadow including while I am crafting. The running joke in my family was that due to the whole 'Labs shed A LOT', everything I created had a signature 'Shadow' hair hidden somewhere... While Shadow is no longer with us, I am lovingly reminded of him every time a random hair shows up in my craft room. Like our loved ones, Lab hair never really leaves us and that is a pretty comforting thought!

gift card holder

OK! First creation downloaded without a hitch! Since I'm a newbie SU demonstrator, I decided to play with some things for my upcoming open house. I CASEd part of the idea from some pics on Splitcoast, but put my own little twist on it. The original was a tag book, but I liked the idea of it housing a gift card better. This started as a pitiful toilet paper tube (or paper towel) and was transformed by using DSP from Springtime Vintage, very van. satin ribbon & cardstock, and stamped w/ Soft Suede. I used the stamp sets Just Believe and Fabulous Phrases. I'm considering adding one of the flower adornments and a bit of pear pizzazz seam binding to bling it up a bit and also tie into the DSP pattern. Hope you enjoy this and TFL!
