Bird Bookmark

Okay, another posting and was excited when Paulo posted an SVG on his blog this morning! I could not wait to get home and make this bird bookmarker! To get his cut file please go to his site here. He has amazing files! I could stay on his blog all day! Thanks Paulo, glad that you are back posting! Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a great day!

Finished the Mini Book!

Okay, for those who have been followers for a while know that I started this mini book back in January. I won this at my first blog hop from Kris at What a Bunch of Craft and have also added some of Celeste's (Touched by a Butterfly) wonderful flowers! I just love how this turned out and had a hard time parting with it as I gave it to my Mom for Mother's Day and she just loves it! Please leave me some comments as I would love to hear how you like it or not.

Mother's Day Card

Wow, two posts in one day! Sorry about not posting lately but things are kind of hectic lately! I am now all caught up with all my blogs and email that I finally have time to post my Mother's day card that I made for my Mom. I got these beautiful "MOM" stickers from a blog win and shopping with Ann at Paper Patch Crafts. She added this to my selection and it was perfect for the paper that I had!

I forgot to put a picture of the inside but there is a poem that I was just right to describe my relationship with my Mom. Here it is:

When I was young, you helped me grow,

And taught me all I had to know

Of love and trust and faith and hope,

And everything it takes to cope.

You may have thought I didn't hear,

Or maybe that you weren't quite clear;

But all the tings you taught me

Were heeded very carefully,

And now I want to thank you for

Your love, your care, and so much more!

Love you Mom and thanks for being there!



Congrats on Your New House Card

Well my husband went to San Diego for four days to his cousin's house warming party and even asked me to make a card.  After a long search I used svgcuts.com and found this house to cut with SCAL.  I really like how it turned out but wish I would have found some bushes or something to add to the front like some mini flowers or something.  Inside I used my Kaisercraft stamp for the flourishes which I won from a hop shopping at Paper Patch Crafts.  Can I just say that shopping with Ann was such a great pleasure!  My next post is some of the extras that she added to my stash.  Thanks for dropping by and have a great day!

Another Boy Birthday Card

Ok, I made another birthday card for my 17 year old nephew which is really hard since I couldn't get too cutesy! I hope that he liked it because I really struggled with this one! I got the Frog from SVGCuts.com and it cut really good! I am really happy with the frog! The "Hoppy Birthday" I created in SCAL. The plaid paper is really from a Christmas stack as I think these colors really "age" up the card for an older boy. I stitched around the sentiment because I really shouldn't have used my distress ink on these as it made it blend in with the background. I just love the buttons for the eyes and it gives the frog more dimensions. I am finding that I love ribbon/twine and buttons on all my projects now! The inside stamp I got from Michaels and is a cling stamp-I really like these! I am going to have to find more!!!

Easter Card

Wow, it's been a long time since I have posted anything. But that doesn't mean that I haven't really been doing anything. In March, I went to my first retreat up in Portage, WI and meet the most wonderful 7 people. I can say that I willing be doing this again in October and can't wait that long. I have learned so many things and will post scrapbook layouts at a later date once I add some journaling. On to my Easter card, I got the peeps image from Cheryl at Cafe Expressions, just click here to see her wonderful creations. I finished these Sunday night and forgot to take them with me to work to mail and mailed them later that night and just remembered that I forgot to sign the cards! Well, at least they can reuse the card and pass it on to someone! Next time I make a card with flowers I will make sure that they are not in the same place inside and outside the card! Let's just say the envelope was tight fitting on the left side. Enjoy looking at my card and I hope to post more soon as I am just figuring out my new computer!

I just wanted to add that the flowers were from a blog hop that I won that was a gift to a online store Ebay store called Paper Patch Crafts. It was a pleasure working with Anne on my purchase and she even threw in lots of extras! Thanks Anne! I am sure that I will find a way to use everything. The diagonal striped paper is glittery and is from a mat stack that I got from Joann's, the ribbon is also from Joann's and the stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael's! I just love finding treasures!
