New cards...

Since I have started doing daycare full time, I have very little time for creating...I have had a couple opportunities lately, though, and this is what I came up with...
Unfortunately, circumstances called for a sympathy card...Roses in Winter is my favorite stamp set to use for cards of this type...here is what I came up with. Very peaceful, I think:



My friend's son turned 12 yesterday, and this is what I came up with for his birthday card:


This is using a stamp set from Stampin' Up!


Have a great day!

Valentine Cards

Good morning! I thought I would share some recent creations with you. I made up these Valentines a week ago- I had such fun with them! They are made with a variety of die cuts, and embossing folders, as well as stamps and ribbons.

These first two were made with SU! stamps, as well as Nestabilities dies and the Top Note die from SU! I just LOVE the scalloped square shaped card!! Patterned paper on these cards is from SU! and Basic Grey.

Here are the other two cards I made. I used the SU! Top Note die, SU! stamps, and a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The card on the left actually has a circular window in it, with the stamped image peeking through. Patterned paper on these two cards was from my "unknown" stash.
Here is the stamped image. After I colored it, I coated it with Crystal Effects for some dimension. Hope you like em'! Happy Valentine's Day!

Re-cap of a busy week!

Good Saturday morning!
It has been a heck of a week-and I thought I would catch up and save myself a bit of time by giving you all a pictoral recap!!
This is the final result of an order I have been working on for a couple of weeks:
Baby shower favors-tiny boxes with candies inside...

Baby girl shower invitations--all pertinent info is already printed on the inside:

And a matching bedroom sign for the baby's room!

A custom "brain in a book" a friend asked me to make...These things are so great to keep in your bag, so you can right all your lists and to-do's inside and keep them in one spot! I go through at least one a year!



This is a great gift I rec'd from a friend this week. We participated in a Halloween mingle, where we send a halloween crafting supply, and a hand made item, to the person below us on the sign up list...I got this tinnie--an altered tin can..So it is recycled, and repurposed! It will look cute hanging in my farmhouse kitchen this fall! Thanks to Michele for sending me some of her awesome Purple Onion Designs rubber stamps, and some Halloween patterned paper, too!

Code-man also went back to school this week. Freshman at NACS! Hard to believe!

We also said goodbye to a dear friend this week...Our hearts are breaking, but we know she is no longer suffering...Harley would have been 11 in December!

So that is it for now! I can hardly keep up with everything-work, family, and orders that keep rolling in-I will have a new fall slate to share with you very soon!
Have a blessed weekend!

Baby Shower Invites...

These are the 4 examples of baby shower invitations that I worked up for an order recently...
This first one is a pocket card with a pull tab...Information would be printed on the white panel. Can be decorated for any occasion...I made 100 of this type of invitation for a Sweet 16 last summer!

This one is more traditional, it opens on the side, and the information would be printed on the inside!

This style is a single panel, with information to be printed on the front..

This is the one the customer chose: a circular scalloped card, and the information will be printed on the inside.

Today is the last day of summer vacation! It has gone by too fast!
Have a blessed Monday!
