1st Guest Designer project

Here is my first project that I came up with about a month ago when I started to figure out what I was going to do. My theme for this month is Father's Day so since my Dad is Mr. Fix It, I had to come up with a clever gift card holder! I am in love with this stamp set from SU! and the apron card from Creative Cuts & More, they work so well together! I got a little crafty with all the tools that I cut out (it really only took a few minutes to color and cut them out) and decided to make the tape measure clip onto the outside of the apron....it turned out SO cute! There is paper piercing between the tools, it is just hard to see. My husband is loving this project and the other one that is finished...but you have to come back later this week to see that one!

*I do see that my girlfriend Jen who is also a designer for CC&M has a very similar card to this one posted....great minds think alike right!!!!

New projects coming soon....

I got my Creative Cuts & More order yesterday and already have one project done! I am going to a crop this weekend with my Mom and I got something fun to play with from CC&M...you might be seeing more of it often as I LOVE it!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I am on the way back to normal and should be posting stuff more often soon.

What a long week!

I was hoping to keep up with some new posts but had to put that on hold for now. My FIL passed away last Saturday after a long 18 month battle with leukemia. I am a very lucky person to have known him and also for the fact that both my hubby's family and mine have gotten along so very well over the past 13 years! We have been able to spend every holiday together as one family which has been very nice for us and our girls. He will be missed, but we know that he is in a much better place and are glad he is no longer suffering!

I do hope you will forgive me for not posting right now, but I will be back soon as I just placed my order for my upcoming guest designer spot with Creative Cuts and More...

Bridal Shower Card

Yikes it has been a long time since I have posted!!! I made this card in early February for a shower I went to, her colors were blue and brown so of course the card had to be blue and brown! I started with some blue Bazzil paper, used my new curvy rectangle nesties and some rubons from SU! and this is how it ended up. I really love the way it turned out, and it only took about 10 minutes once I decided what I was doing!

Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope to be back again very soon with something new!

CC&M First Ever Blog Hop!

Did you check it out yet??? There are some really great ideas and projects on these blogs! Take a minute or two to look at all the blogs in the blog hop starting with DieCut Diva and ending with Pam's blog, Paper Askew Studio.

I will try to post a picture of some items you can get from CC&M that I have done in the past...my creative mojo has left me and I can't seem to finish a new project right now.

If you do stop by all of the blogs in the blog hop, let me know what your favorite was.

Thank You Card

Today's card is one that I made about a month ago thinking I would use it for my card class, but decided not to. I really love the color combo of the Pirouette Pink and Riding Hood Red with white and the Heartfelt Thanks flower is one of my favorites.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a nice relaxing Sunday!

Celebrate

Another card from a class I did 2 weeks ago, similar to the one I posted yesterday. I used the Baja Breeze paper and ink along with Very Vanilla paper and then added Riding Hood Red, So Saffron and Regal Rose for the flowers. I was so very sad to see that the sentiment set was retiring as I love it so much, so of course I had to use it for my last few card classes. I got the idea for this card from Splitcoast Stampers, not sure who it was, but Thank You for sharing!!

Today we are hanging out and getting caught up on laundry since my wonderful Dad came and fixed our washer the other night....crazy how much laundry can pile up when you can't do some every day! I do hope to get a chance to work on my scrapbooks soon, I hate seeing that stuff pile up on the computer and my craft area. Oh, we also have to go and find a frame for DD's first place ribbon and certificate from the spelling bee! Here is the picture of her holding them both (her friend was giving her a thumbs up in the picture) Sorry for the white erasing on the picture, I could not get the blur to work the way I wanted it to.
