Sunshine card

More cards…..

  I made these cards with a 4x4 base for each card and then I used 5 sheets from my Basic Grey’s 6x6 “Off Beat” paper pad to make ALL the cards. I still had scraps leftover, I was so surprised how much use I got out of these 5 little papers.

(The first one is my favorite by far! although the next one is close….) hope you enjoy!    

okay this last one I didn’t use the Off Beat paper, but I made it at the same time so I just added it with the others!

Friends Card

I think this is one of my favorite cards I’ve ever made, I got the inspiration from Kristina Werner (a very long time ago….) I need to make another one because this one has been given away. It was nice to have a card in my stash ready when I needed it!

I’m going through my pictures on my computer today and realized I HAVE taken pictures of things lately I’ve just never posted any of them, so I HOPE to have some set up to post in the next few days.

I was going to take a picture of my entry way and what I’ve done there recently but it SNOWED today so I have no sunlight, and if you’ve ever been to my house you know I have NO sunlight in my entryway on a normal day…..I hope to post pics of it soon.

Welcome Little One!!! 2S4Y

My sister had a new little baby boy on Wednesday! So of course I needed to make a cute baby card! She didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl until he arrived so I whipped this card up and can’t wait to see the little man on Saturday!!! Although I’ve been informed that he needs bilirubin lights and I might not get to hold him =(. I was so hoping to snuggle and hog him since his cousin that was supposed to arrive next week is no longer coming.

I had already bought the cutest boy outfit for him (I just knew he was a boy) and when I made the card I realized that it matches his orange and blue striped outfit perfect!  

2 Sketches 4 You

Yea I love it when I get time to play with the challenges out there in blogland! I also used some of my new Chatterbox that I won in a giveaway recently.

Have you ever had a card that was coming along just great….then somewhere in the middle you hated it….and then at the end you actually liked it again? This was just an interesting card in how it came together. I must say I’m glad it’s done and I’m glad I like it!

2 Sketches 4 You

Here’s my take on the sketch this week, it’s very simple but I really like how it turned out.

 

CPS sketch 128

This card sketch was a little outside the box and I LOVED it!!! I turned the sketch on it’s side.

I’m still not in love with my handwriting but I don’t hate it as much as I used to, I guess I just need more practice!!!

 

A little crafting

I finally got to craft a little awhile back, it’s just taken me forever to post the pictures!!! I got the idea from Kristina Werner, if you have never seen one of her videos you are truly missing out!!! I love them! She does a video every Friday and Monday.

One thing I did different from her was I cut out 4 pieces of pattern paper to the same size and then I cut the angles all at once, therefore making 4 cards just alternating the papers. If you want really good instructions on how to make this card watch Kristina’s video here, it’s really easy to make and very fun. I love how when I cut them all at once it made 4 cards and took hardly anymore extra time!

   

Thanks for stopping by!!!

a few cards....

Okay so May is almost over and I've hardly posted a thing! Shame on me!

I've been working on cleaning up my room (pics to come)

and scrapping our Disneyland trip (from last year hehe)

I think I've put off doing the trip for fear it wouldn't turn out perfect, pretty lame reason to not do it!!! I guess I should do our wedding pics next!

Here are 2 cards I made for birthdays this month.

I absolutely love my new American Crafts stamp set! 

"a little birdie told" sentiment can go with anything.

This picture is so pathetic! but the power was out and we were taking a walk to the mailbox to mail it so it was a dark pic or nothing!!!

Challenge #2

This challenge was to create something new that you have never done. I know it's lame but I had never made a baby card, so here is my first. Okay a I think I just lied =) as I typed that I just realized that I've made baby shower invitations. But I honestly didn't remember that until just now. Oh well, I really like how this one turned out. I used a mistake brown scallop from the last page I had made and a left over elephant from a different page and the scraps. So this was really fun to see how it all came together.

Color CAS Challenge

YAY I finally had a chance to make a card with Kraft paper. I must admit this was a first for me. But I promise it won't be the last. This paper goes with everything, I think it's as much of a must as white or black :)

2 Sketches 4 You

This sketch was so much fun!!! The possibilities were endless. I used my newest font DB Woodsy to cut the Die Cuts and they turned out fabulous!!! I was so excited how well they cut. 

2Sketches 4 You

I used the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch to make this card.

 This card was so fun to make!!! I used my new Bo Bunny ruler to make the curvy line. I love that the blue paper matched my swirls cuttlebug folder so I used that to make the bottom circles have a bit more character. And who can live without pop-dots? The card was so plain until I added the dimension too it. When it was first coming together I was hating this card it just wasn't looking good at all, and then it just went great. 

Thanks for looking!

CPS109 Fly away

I used the CPS sketch to make this card, I didn't follow it too closely but I LOVE how this turned out. I think it's one of my most favorite cards I've ever made I just love how it came together and it's so simple and was very easy to make!!! Thanks for stopping by to look!

Card Patterns Sketch #4 AGAIN

I told you I really loved the sketch this week, I had to do it again. This one couldn't be more different than the first and I honestly can't decide which one I like more. I don't think you can even compare them since they are nothing alike. 

Card Patterns Sketch #4

I really enjoyed making this card!!!  I loved this sketch it just came together for me so I had to make another one!!! Check my next posting to see it, they are very different and I love how they both turned out. I will keep this sketch in mind in the future for sure!!! I had to make a matching box it was just so cute!

Cuttlebug Be Inspired #20

I absolutely LOVED this sketch and I was worried I wouldn't get it done in time!! We spent the weekend packing and moving DH's sis and I barely got it done.  I may have to make another card using this sketch it is just so amazing. I had envisioned something totally different and at first wasn't sure I even liked what I had created when I was done but.....it's growing on me. I did envision the butterfly but that's about it, oh the joys of creating it's always so fun to see the end result after the vision.

Kazan's Sketch 20

My take on Kazan's sketch 20. I used some paper that I'm currently using to make my mom a stationary box set, so I thought some cards to match would be wonderful. I'll post pics of the box when I get it completely finished.

Color Inspiration #42

This is my take on the latest Color Challenge I've looked through the entries before and I've even done a few but now I decided to actually join in for real!! It was really fun and FAST. I couldn't believe how it just came together. So come join next time!
