Happiness!




Hello to everyone!  I made this card awhile back for an anniversary and I just never got a chance to post it.  This was a SU template that I saw (I think!) or I saw it somewhere but anyway I decided to try making a card using it and I really like how it turned out.  You could change the sentiment and stamp a cupcake on the circles to make it a birthday card or many other possibilities.  I stamped the sentiment (which is retired...sorry) on twill tape and attached it with brads.  I cut the circles out on my cricut at 1". 
  • Cardstock:  SU Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
  • SU Ribbon is 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon in Early Espresso
  • Versamark ink
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Best Wishes Bridal Shower Card

Hi all!  My wonderful cousin Jessica is getting married next month and I made this card for her bridal shower.  I haven't made anything for a wedding in awhile so I had a good time making this!  :) The large stamp is OLD!  One of my friends used it to make my bridal shower invites over 10 years ago and then she gave me the stamp and I have always kept it. 

  • SU cardstock in Very Vanilla and Basic Black
  • SU Basic Black Craft Ink and Clear Embossing Powder
  • Best wishes stamp is from the short and sweet set that is in the main SU catty. 
  • Ribbon is SU 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Basic Black
  • Silver paper and flower are Bazzill
  • Cuttlebug embossing folder in Divine Swirls
I plan on crafting this entire weekend if possible (Whoo Hoo!)  Have a wonderful Easter!

    Got my mojo back! Baby Bottle Thank You!

    Hello everyone!  I am so excited to be posting again.  It has been awhile!  Thank you for all the emails and positive comments.  For the first half of my pregnancy I was so tired all of the time so I didn't get much crafting done.  But I finally did this weekend and I am looking forward to doing more and posting more this week as our Spring Break gets closer!
    I have gotten so many wonderful things from friends, family, and my wonderful blogger friends that I wanted to design a thank you note I could have on hand and send out.  This cut is a sizzix die for my big shot.  I am sad to say our local scrapbook store is going out of business but the good news is there is GREAT deals there.  I got this die for 13.00.  I really liked the way they did the bottle on the package so I cased it a bit and added some of my own touches.  I used Very Vanilla for the bottle, So Saffron for the top, and Crumb Cake for the tag.  The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz. 

    Thank you so much for stopping by and  I hope you have a wonderful week!

    Baby Steps


    Hi everyone!  I made this card for my mom (soon to be a grandma!).  She has gotten me so many cute outfits, blankets, and books.  She just gave me Dr.Oz's two baby books.  One is about being pregnant and the other one is for after the baby is born.  I am really enjoying reading them.
     
    • Stamp Set:  Baby Steps
    • Pear Pizazz Ribbon and ink
    • Paper:  Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, So Saffron
    • The green polka dot paper is from my scrap basket.
    • Owl Punch for the small heart.
    Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I have actually spent some time in my craft room lately so I will  post some more cards soon.  Hugs!

    Baby Thank you

    Hi everyone!  I made this cute and simple card to send as thank-you's for baby gifts that I have gotten.  I am using my Imagine more and more.  It is an in depth machine and I guess I am not patient enough to take my time and learn it! :)  So lately I have been working with it more and I am starting to get comfortable with it.  I made quite a few of these cards using the Imagine More cart.  I cut the sun at 3".  Then I used pop dots.  The stem is from the SU set called Sweetheart.  I stamped it and cut it out.  I also used the sentiment from this set.  Also thanks to my followers who are hanging in there with me.  Pregnancy is leaving me so exhausted crafting has taken a backseat.  I am starting to feel better as I am in my 2nd trimester so hopefully more crafting.  But I do have baby on the brain and I will probably post mostly baby crafts! :)  I am a very impatient person so waiting 40 weeks to meet my baby seems long.  But I am loving every single second being pregnant!
    Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon!

    Cupcake Love

    Hi everyone!  I was so excited to make this card because I got to use the new Cupcake Punch from SU.  I will have a video up of this card tomorrow so I will attach that to this post.  I am having fun with the treat cups too.  My husband is going to get like 20 Valentine's cards from me because I am on a roll! LOL!  I hope you all have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend.

    My Craft Room!

    Happy Snow Day!  I don't know how many of you were hit with all of this ice and snow but we were right in the middle of it.  So far I have had two days off of school!  Who knew that when you were a kid, the teachers loved having a day off more than you?! :) So since I have been off I did a 2 part video of my craft room.  I have been meaning to do this for awhile but I just haven't had time.  I am hoping to post part 2 some time today. 


    Okay, Part 2 is done. :)  Here it is:
