For my sister...

Hello! My card today is one I made for my big sister. She is having a baby in August, and I offered make her shower invites for her! I got the idea and template from the layout, from the AWESOME Kristina Werner. I LOVE going on her blog and watching her videos! Gives me tons of ideas! I also really like her simple, clean style. Here is the link for her card. I changed it up a bit, and the onesie is just some clip art I found online.



I embossed the message in clear. It shows up ok, but, I ended up doing the rest of the invites in white. She loves them, thank God!

If you have any questions about the materials used, please let me know. Have a fantastic day!

Mojo Monday 136

Hi All! I thought I would start off the first week I have been back after a lengthy absence with a Mojo Monday challenge! As I start getting my cards and gifts together for Mother's Day, I thought this was a really good sketch to get the creativity flowing! I liked this sketch so much, I did two! Enjoy!







Have a great day! :)

Bright Spots...

Hello! I'm so sorry I have been MIA. For some odd reason, my computer would not load any pictures from my memory cards. In a final, desperate attempt, I shut everything down for awhile. After I restarted, my computer was working just fine again! Modern technology, I tell ya...

Anyway, my card for today is another bright one! I am REALLY tired of the snow, cold, and gray, so I am trying to brighten up my life with cards!



Hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Crazy for Cupcakes!

Hello All!

Today I am sharing a couple of things. First, is the project I am doing this weekend with my kids club. I thought this would be perfect because what kid doesn't love cupcakes? I really like this stamp. It's a single stamp called 'Simple Birthday Thanks'. It's HUGE! I have made several cards using this stamp, the possiblities are endless!



The second thing I am sharing are the gifts I made for the kids' teachers for Valentine's Day. They really liked them! My oldest daughter's teacher didn't want to eat it because she thought they were too pretty! :)



Well, as is my VERY busy life, I must rush off. The school Luau is tonight, and of course, I am involved with preparations! Have a GREAT day!!

Hello All!

My card for today is a CASE of this card. I haven't been feeling the most creative lately, so I have been looking at the fabulous galleries on Splitcoast for inspiration. I changed things up just a bit, and added a splash of red. Black, red and white is always my go-to color combo when I am at a loss for creativity. Enjoy!




Have a great day!

Valentine's Day is OVER!!

Hello All!

Well, I made it through Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong I LOVE V-day. But, with 4kids in school, it CRAZY all V-Day week! Even my oldest, who is in 6th grade, just HAD to take in treats this year. I wonder if she will still feel that way next year? Anywho, I have been stamping, I just haven't had time to post. But, here is a little of what has been going on...

I love, love, LOVE the new Flower Punch from Stampin' Up! I am really enjoying the new design of the punches, and it is much easier on my hands. My cards for today have been inspired by cards that I have seen perusing magazines, and other blogs. I also wanted to get in the spirit of spring and summer, and get some bright colors rolling!



I really love the 'buttons' on this card. I made them using my 1 inch circle punch, and my crop-a-dile. A little time consuming, but I really like the end result.



Did I mention that I love the new flower punch? I love it. A Lot.


When I punch my flowers, I like to punch two and layer them, to make them even more sturdy. I also sponge the edges in the same color as the cardstock to give them more depth. I also did the same with the buttons.

Well, that's all for today! If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a FANTASTIC day! :)
