Bday card for my sister-in-law

I created this card for my sister-in-law.

Sympathy Card

I made this card to send to a friend. I got the concept from a card done by Karen Dunbrook.

I made this card box and set of cards for my mom for Xmas. I didn't put a sentiment on the cards so that she can use them for any occasion. 

All the papers were from my stash. Mostly Stampin' Up + Teresa Collins. The flower and vase are from CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. 

Halloween 2012

Here's my smash book page for Halloween. It is most likely the last time my girl will go. The bag underneath is one my daughter got. She wanted to keep it for memory sake :D

I just love this cute witch from Pink Gem Designs. I used Spectrum Noir markers, misc. papers and the stamp set is from Stampin' Up (it's several years old).

Bday card for my niece

It's been awhile since I last posted anything on here. I've been doing a lot of Project Life, which is easy to post here! My 13-yr-old helped me with this card. I think she did a fantastic job :-)

Here is the anniversary card I made for my husband. We celebrated 20 years yesterday :D

Send a Smile

These are some of the cards I'm sending off to Send a Smile 4 Kids. They send cards to various hospitals around the country for the nurses, etc. to give to kids who are staying there. I chose to make some for teenagers since that was a stated need. Hopefully these will make someone's day a little brighter.

Easter

I cannot believe that Easter is almost upon us ~ where did March go?! Here are my Easter cards. A cornucopia of different elements ~ digital, Cricut and paper.

Workout book

I doctored up a composition book to keep track of my workouts.

I may not help me workout any more but it will look good on the table next to the elliptical!


Supplies:
Paper - Stampin' Up
Cricut cartridges - Wild Card (Rx + Stethoscope); Plantain Schoolbook (alpha + apple)
Ribbon - Misc

A card for my mom. I am sending some pictures to her and needed to include a card (of course). I lifted this idea from June Houck, her blog entry from March 8th! I LOVED her card. I downloaded the digital This + That collection from Jessica Sprague's website.  I'm thinking mom is going to love this :-)

Paper: Echo Park's This + That digital collection

Balloon + Sentiment: Echo Park's This + That collection

Twine: Stampin' Up

Embossing folder: Bubbles by Cuttlebug

Another Spring card

It's 53° here today. It's February. Apparently Mother Nature is not aware of that fact. Not that I'm complaining! Felt the need for another Spring card.

It really feels like Spring here, so I decided to make a Spring card.













Cardstock: Stampin' Up
Stamp: Digital by Nina B. Designs
Various markers

Birthday card for my nephew

My nephew's birthday is coming up this week. Crazy how time flies! Everything is digital, except for the ribbon. The stamp is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. The paper is from Dunia. Various markers.

My mom's birthday is coming up, so I will be experimenting with a few different cards I might want to give her. The best part? no card will go to waste because someone will get them! Here's my first attempt:

Digital paper
Celebrate banner, stamp and cupcake: Art Philosophy from CTMH
Paper from Stampin' Up
Ribbon - misc.

Project Life

I have just recently begun to do Project Life by Becky Higgins. Love it! It allows me to quickly capture our week and get it documented. I am doing a hybrid version, which really works well for me. I started in February and this is what I have so far.

Valentines Day

Here's the card I made for Valentines Day -

Best Buddies

I'm just learning to use My Memories to create digital scrapbooks. I was having issues with printing an 8x8 page, so I had to make it 8.5x11. That is why there is so much space at the top.

February Birthdays

I made 2 cards yesterday, using the same Art Philosophy cupcake. One is for my niece and one is for my brother. I really like how they turned out.

Cherish

I made this card awhile ago, for no particular reason. Turns out, it's one of my daughter's favorites! Had to post it. All Stampin' Up products.

Sister Anniversary Card

I used a digi stamp by Bugaboo. Crack me up. Then I colored it with copics and tried up my pearl spritz. May have gone overboard on the spritz, but it was fun :-)

Thank-you cards

I had to get my thank-you's out today to my family for the birthday gifts. It was fun hanging out in the craft room today :-)

Soccer girl

I made this little card for my daughter, who loves soccer (hence the title of my blog - tee hee). I think it turned out very cute.

Butterfly card

Card I made "just because". All papers and stamps from Stampin' Up. Punch from Martha Stewart. I love butterflies
:-)

Congrats card

My niece just found out that a dance that she has choreographed for her high school dance corps is going to be performed at the National High School Dance Festival! Whoot Whoot! She is also in the running got the festival's Outstanding Student Choreography award. So very proud of her.

I am so proud of my daughter, I just have to share. She has Aspergers yet manages to function quite "normally" (whatever that truly is). Anyways, this is her second year of basketball and she is really starting to become a player. I'm trying to learn how to do digital scrapbooking, since I don't always have time to get it done otherwise. This is one of my first attempts. And yes, she made the shot :-)
