Wedding Card

I needed a quick card for a wedding and decided to go simple. I used the Spellbinders Contemporary Heart pendants and borderabilities. I used my favorite sentiment that was in a wedding card I bought

years ago.

Another Birthday Card

Here is another birthday card for work! I found some Prism paper and Petaloo Flora Doodles at our local Party Depot! I loved the maroon and green paper combination and the bright flowers. I used a small piece of pink paper cut out with Spellbinders Labels Eleven and some Stampin' Up Only Orange as an accent. The sentiment is a Studio G dollar stamp. Flowers are my favorite!

Baby Shower Bag and Card

Today is my second baby shower in two weeks! There is something in the water here. There have been 14 pregnancies in my church plus other ladies that I know who are having babies. It is an epidemic!

I only had this morning to create something and I even surprised myself how fast I got it done.

I found some Creative Imaginations Melange paper and stickers last night. I was going to use the other patterned paper from CI but this one spoke to me. The buggy and flourishes on the gift bag are from the bottom three inches of the 12 X 12 paper and the "Rock a Bye Baby" is from the top three inches of the same paper. I matted them on a gorgeous maroon color and cream, added some stick on flowers, from Petaloo,that were cream and pink and I was done!

The bottle sticker inside the card is from the sticker sheet. Grandpa to be plays in a band with my husband, the daddy to be play guitar and mommy to be love funky things!

Thanks for stopping in! Hope your day is wonderful!

...And more...

When I came up with the name for my blog I was envisioning...cardmaking, maybe scrapbooking but not sure what the ...and more...was for! Now I know! I have been doing quite a bit of "and more" and not much "paper stuff". LOL However, I did get some more birthday cards done (last month) for work and I am working on a gorgeous (if I do say so myself!) girl birthday card. Here are the cards I made last month. Most of the paper is from Die Cuts With a View, Guy Stack, with a little of the Indian Summer Stack and a teeny Tim Holtz mini paper clip! Easy peasy!

New Card!

My friend Denise of Paper Ponderings is having a birthday next week. I decided to let her have her gift early and this is the card that went with it. She is a great lover of teal and brown or kraft! I also tried out a flower I saw on the Cocoa Daisy blog. I was pretty happy to actually get the card done in all the hecticness I have had this year so far and learned a new thing too!

So much for the new leaf!

So much for turning over a new leaf! Remember the saying: "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry" (or gang aft agley, if you are Scottish) by Robert Burns? That is what happened to me.

My mother passed away unexpectedly on January 6. I have been in the throes of dealing with the paperwork and all of the stuff that goes along with someone passing on. I have had a mixture of emotions going through her stuff and remembering who gave it to her, or a funny story that it brings to mind. She still had all of the old books that I spent summers reading and all of the cat "stuff" I had given her over the years. Most importantly, was our reconcilation at the end of her life. I praise God for the opportunity to reconcile.

Once things have settled to an even keel, I still have those plans to make more cards and finish a rather large scrapbooking project I am doing for an "adopted" daughter!

Tell someone you love them!

Birthday Cards

I made more birthday cards for my coworkers! There are many more men than women, so guy cards are in order. I have a friend with a Cricut Expressions. She cut out golf and skier images for me. The golf ball sentiment is created with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. Time to get to bed so I can function at work tomorrow!
