Sweet Wishes x 2

These two cards are basically the same, just done a little differently.  I made these a while back and I remember totally scrap lifting the idea, I just added my own touch. The problem is I can't remember who I lifted it from (hey I sound like a real thief), so I'm sorry to whomever created this cute card to begin with that I'm unable to give you credit!  Hope you like my take on the design!

Products I used were:
Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Folder & Devine Swirls
MPS "Sweet Wishes" stamp
Prima Flowers
Martha Stewart's Double Scallop punch for the pink card
Doodle Charms in Blackout for the Cupcake
Can't remember what papers I used or other embellishments

A Baby is...

I went to my friend Heidi's Baby Shower yesterday and came home wanting a baby!  I can't have anymore babies, but the cute things they have now are just adorable!!!!! Oh, and she got so many things for little Colin, she left with 2 cars packed!  I'm so happy for her!!!  Anyway this is the card I made for her.  She loved it and I hope you do as well!



Now I know that I need some help with taking pictures, I have what I think is a nice camera, but I just can't seem to capture my cards as I'd like them too.

Anyway, I know you can't ready any on the card, so the front says "Sweet Baby Colin".  The inside wording is my own mixture of greetings from a card book I have.  It says...

A Baby is ...

Smiles and laughter and coos

Wonder and softness and sweet lullabies,

Beauty that shines like the starlight above.

Fresh fallen from the heavens

Sent for you to love...

I love it and I'm really happy with how my card turned out.

Recipe:  DCWV Textured Cardstock, the patterned paper is "Boy Mosaic" by Rene' Lingren

The baby face is DC and cut at 1.75.  I hid all the features so I could use my new Peachy Keen Stamps! (yeah hurray!) I also used some chalk for his little cheeks and for shading. The little curly cue of hair is made from brown Making Memories wire.

The moon is from Pooh and cut at 1.75, the stars are from Paisley and cute at .88, .75 and .50.

I used my Swiss Dots cuttle bug folder and the white fiber I used actually feels like terry cloth, it's from EK Sucess and called "Fun Fibers".

Welcome Home Brian! A Dedication to all our Troops!

I thought this would be a good day to post this sign I made for my son Brian back in March.  He is in the Air Force and was coming home from Japan (was there 2 yrs).  We had such a short time together before he was off to Alabama.  Thought he was going to be home for the Holidays this year, but that all changed when he was assigned to Saudi Arabia for 4 months. It's his 10th day there of a 4 month or longer stay.  We miss him soo much, but he could have been stationed somewhere much worse and we are thankful for that.

I thought I would dedicate this post to all the men and women who are serving our Country in this horrible war!  We want to be able to Welcome you all Home right now!!!!!!!

His little brother wasn't able to be there to Welcome him home since he was away at school, but if you look in the lower right hand corner he wrote a note to Welcome him back.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy in side, I love my boys sooo much!!!!

The font I used was from "Cuttin' Up" and the sign is made from foam board.

Altered Journal

This is a Journal I altered a while back for my bff.  I wanted something to go with the butterfly and peace card I made for her.  I specifically wanted a journal with dividers and the only one I could find was really ugly, so I took the covers off and decided to make my own.  I don't have a bind it all, so I cut the chipboard out from my Cricut and used a hole punch to thread the wire back through.  Let's just say that before this project I wanted a bind it all, but after making this, I reeeealllly want one now!!!!!!  I hope you like it.

I don't know if you can all the cards, but some of them are really funny!  For some strange reason some of my photos are missing, I would click on a picture and then it would bring up one I had already posted. Strange....wish I knew more about this stuff.  Anyway, everything I used except for the "n" and the ribbon was from the Unwritten collection from Reminisce, which I got from http://www.acherryontop.com/  . The "n" is Tim Holtz Letter Grunge board that I just painted with acrylic paints,added the ribbon for some more pizazz.

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR MAMMA SUE'S BIRTHDAY!

This is a continuation to Mama Sue's Birthday card "Life Should be lived Sunnyside Up"
If you've ready anything on my blog about me, you know that I love all kinds of crafts.  One of them is using resin.  This is a heart shaped pin made out of resin, dye & some Martha Stewart glitter.

Then to wrap it I used a clear pillow box from AntyAtics along with some tissue paper I had and Prima flowers & a rhinestone.

I'm really happy with how the pin & the packing worked out.  Let me know what you think.
