Favorite Cards of 2011

Hello!!! 

I wanted to post about what my favorite cards of 2011 were. There is not a whole bunch, but there are some!

You've Stolen my heart

I think this card is my very top favorite. I went into it not know what I wanted and came out with this awesome card!

Happy Easter

My favorite part of this card is all the embossing folders that I used for the eggs and the twine. 

All Bundled Up

Love the colors and faces on this one!

Merry Christmas

Love this little snow girl and the Peachy Keen Face is the best

Merry Christmas

This little girl is from My Scrap Chick and the file is the best! Too bad I'm having a little boy and won't be able to use this file for a girl.

Mr & Mrs

Card I made for the In-laws to give to some family that was getting married. My first Easel card and It turned out great!

Those are some of my favorite cards that I made of 2011. Tomorrow I am going to post my favorite Layouts of 2011. You won't want to miss out!! I am also going to find time to scrap more even with a new baby. I can't make any promises but my craftyness has fallen and it makes me very sad since it is what I love to do!!! 

See you tomorrow!!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week - Day 2

Welcome back and Happy Tuesday!!!

I am excited to share my project with you today. As some of you may or may not know I am expecting my first Baby in January and am trying to Scrapbook at the same time :). It is a very exciting time for me right now. My baby shower is coming up in less than a month and I decided that I want to make a specific 8 x 8 album for it. I will have tons of family and friends there and want to document it all. I made my first page based on the theme of the Shower and when the time comes I will put a picture of me in the photo spot. 

We are not finding out the gender of our baby until it gets here, so I'm trying to make it as gender neutral as possible without using Light Green and Light Yellow too much.
