~Happy Birthday To You...~

I made this awesome birthday card just because. I really liked the way it turned out so I ended up making 3 of them to have on hand. 


I used Twinkle Toes for the music notes
Tag is an EK Success Punch 
Stamp is the Dollar Bins at JoAnn's
I don't remember the name of the paper but I thought it fit perfectly

Thanks for coming by...

Cutie Pie

I just got my mom into Card Making not to long ago. She got a Baby Bug =). I'm so excited to show her new things. I was at her house and i was showing everyone how to use it. She has so much less crafting products than I do. This is what I came up with just to demonstrate. I also luckily had Esmerelda with me, so that helped a lot.


I used Twinkle Toes for the card base and the first layer. I think the Cherries are from Indie Art. I wanted to put faces on the cherries but she didn't have anything like that. (I should fix that, LOL) Just Simple but it's cute! 

Thanks for Looking!!

Camping Layout

I have been trying to play catch-up to finish our 2010 Scrapbook album. It isn't working... I am still so far behind. I am slowly making a dent. I wanted to make a Layout of the first time we went Camping in a Tent. It was an adventure I have to say. We couldn't get a fire the first night and had a hole in our tent so we got all wet. Then we bought an air mattress and didn't realize we had to charge it first... WOW! It was crazy. We made the best of it though and had fun! Here is the Layout I made for it, 




How I did it:
The pan and smore are stickers
Fire @ 3.5 (Create A Critter)
Words @ 2 (Don Juan)

Its pretty easy. Im not sure what the paper is I cut the bottom off before looking at it. 

Thanks for Stopping By!!!

Happy Spring

My First Spring Card... I'm so happy!! I have been thinking that I needed to get on making Spring Cards since out weather here has been weird. Just today we had snow, hail, rain and Sun; in a 5 minute period. WEIRD!!!

I was making this card for the Peachy Keen Challenge this week and I came across that I also works for a few other challenges as well. Paper Cutz Challenge is to make something using Bee's, Butterfly's or Ladybug's. Then for Fantabolous Cricut the Challenge was to make something featuring your favorite seasonal weather. 


Recipe:
5 1/4 x 5 1/4 base with Kraft Cardstock
5 x 5 layer
Circle cut @ 5" then cut in half (Plantin Schoolbook)
Cloud @ 1.60" (Create A Critter)
Bee @ 3" (Create A Critter)
Stampin Up Ribbon
Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces
Sakura White Jelly Roll
Clear Gems

Thanks For Stopping By...

I got the paper from the Dollar Spot at Target a while ago. It's pretty nice weight. 

The next project I have for you is a Gatefold Card. It is my first one I have ever made so I am really excited about it. 


I also got the patterned paper for this in the Dollar Spot at Target and they were in a pack that was cut at 5 x 7 for you already.

Princess Birthday

I also made this card for grandma's friend. I am on a roll with finishing these cards. I only have 2 more to make. Her friend placed an order so that is what all the birthday cards are for. 


I used Once Upon A Princess Cartridge for this one and the stamp is from the dollar bins at JoAnns. I used my Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots for the background. I just realized that I still need to put blush on her cheeks and doodle around the hair.

It's Your Bird-day!!!

I just made this card tonight to give to my grandma's friend. I really like the way it turned out. Its not a card layout that I normally do. I'm impressed with it.


I used 3 birds on parade for the card, cut at 3 1/2 I think. I used pop-dots on the back of the bird and then also used them on the back of the pink paper. I just got the stamp from Craft Warehouse. It is made by Stampendous. I think this stamp will go for any bird you make on any cartridge.

Just had to share

I just got done making my puppy her own blanket. She loves my tie blanket, so I just made her one and she loves it!! She also has a little pillow and I had extra fabric so I made her a tie pillow as well. They turned out so cute!!! I love them!





She has not been feeling well. She was up this morning sick and has been acing weird all day so we are just snuggling today :)

Dinomite Birthday

I made this card for a boys birthday. I used Create A Critter and cut the dino at 3 1/2" I used the My Mind's Eye STOMP paper pad for the background paper.

You brighten my day!

I made this card today for my sister to give to her boyfriend. She didn't want anything that said Love on it. So we came up with "Everyday you make my world a little brighter". Kinda cheesy, but I like it. They have been dating for 4 months, so i think this works for valentines day. 


I used Create A Critter and cut the sun at 3". I used Esmerelda to hide the face of the sun so I could use my adorable Peachy Keen Face Stamps. The hearts are cut from Once Upon A Princess at all different sizes. Then I took my corner rounder and did both bottom corners. 

Thanks For Stopping By!!!!
