Card Patterns #34

2009-09-28T22:07:00.003-04:00

I made this card for my brother's birthday using the Card Patterns Sketch #34. He's an outdoorsy guy, so this stamp made me think of him. Happy birthday, Little Dude!

Card Patterns Sketch 30

2009-09-07T20:05:00.004-04:00

The other card I made tonight is based on the Card Patterns Sketch 30. I was having fun with the star paper from my last card, so I continued the theme onto this card. I love the looks of Labels One from Nestabilites - can you tell? :) Hope you're enjoying your long weekend.

Mojo Monday 103

2009-09-07T20:00:00.003-04:00

Here's this week's Mojo Monday sketch and my card based on it. I love using their sketches because it gets me out of creative ruts and makes me use my supplies in different ways. Thanks for the inspiration!

Upsy Daisy card set

2009-08-30T14:13:00.002-04:00

At the end of September, I'm selling my cards at a craft show for the first time. I'm really nervous because I'm not sure how many sets (and individual cards to make) and how much to charge, but I've been working away and am really excited. Here's the latest set of cards I made, using the SU set "Upsy Daisy." Enjoy your Sunday! (PS - Thanks to Wendi for letting me borrow the set.)

Butterfly Note

2009-08-27T20:17:00.002-04:00

I borrowed Wendi's "Garden Whimsy" set and am loving it. I made this simple, monochromatic card for my college big sister. Since she now has 2 little boys, I figured she could use a little pink in her world. Thanks for looking.

Flowerpot Card

2009-08-23T20:50:00.002-04:00

I've seen a bunch of these flowerpot cards and finally got motivated to try one myself. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Here's the link to a tutorial in case you want to try. Have a great week!

Welcome Carrie!

This card is for the newest teacher specialist in our office. Hope she likes it!

Quick cards

2009-08-16T18:20:00.002-04:00

I needed a couple quick birthday cards, so I pulled out the Glitter Sweet Stack from DCWV for the first 2 cards. The paper was so cute and perfect for these cards. I also had fun with my new(ish) edge punch. Gotta love scallops. Have a great end of your weekend.

Productive Morning

2009-07-17T18:06:00.003-04:00

This morning was an impromtu (but quite productive) card-making session. The first 3 cards all used stamps from my friend, so it's always fun to play with things I don't own. :) Enjoy!

Crafty Sunday

2009-07-05T14:57:00.003-04:00

I've been making cards (and running to Michaels) since I got up this morning, and I'm ready for a nap! My colleague Katie is a 4th of July baby, so this first card is for her birthday.

The 2nd card is one of 19 I made this morning. My friend Amy from work is getting married in a few weeks, so I made her this card for her wedding and 18 similar ones that say "thank you" instead of "cherish" that she can use for special thank you notes. She's a crafty girl, too, so I know she'll appreciate them.

I also made a set of baby boy cards for Lou's step-sister, who's having a baby in September. They're just like the one I posted here, so I didn't take another picture. Hope you're enjoying your weekend, whatever you're doing.

Celebrate birthday card

2009-07-02T21:36:00.003-04:00

I made this card for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. I like the extra touch that the clear Stickles add to the center of the flowers. The second picture is the inside of the card. Have a great day.

Mojo Monday Sketch 93

2009-06-29T18:55:00.003-04:00

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to make my dad's birthday card. It's pretty basic, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Quick BD cards

2009-06-09T20:58:00.003-04:00

My twin neices and sister-in-law all have birthdays this week, so I threw these together tonight. I'm liking the new purple and green paper - it's from the DCWV Latte matstack. Have a great night.

Mojo Monday 88

2009-05-26T15:47:00.001-04:00

Here's my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It's a belated birthday card for my friend's husband. I don't know if he'll appreciate it, but I know she will. Happy day!

Annapolis

My friend Beth came over to scrapbook today, and while we did more chatting than scrapping, I did manage to complete this and 2 other layouts (plus a few cards).

I made this layout using a Pagemaps sketch from May 2009. (I just love pagemaps - great sketches for scrapbook pages, cards, and more.)

Negative Cuttlebug Technique

2009-05-23T10:04:00.002-04:00

I saw this card from Stephanie Atterbury on Beate's Yahoo Group, and I was inspired to try it. I went so this thread on Splitcoast Stampers to learn how to do the Negative Cuttlebug Technique, and it was really easy. One of these cards is a belated birthday card for a friend, and the other is a "thinking of you" card for a friend whose father is sick.

Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.

Mojo Monday 86 & 87

2009-05-19T21:52:00.002-04:00

Here are the cards I made using the Mojo Monday sketches from last week and this week. The first one is a birthday card for my friend Laura, who loves cats. The second one is for our nephew. Hope they both have great birthdays.

Gina sent me this beautiful card this week for our SBS-27 swap, and I love it! Thanks, Gina - and thanks for the extra goodies. You rock!

Friends card

2009-04-26T15:28:00.001-04:00

The inspiration for this card came from a card by Gretchen Barron that I saw on Beate's Yahoo Group. (I save the ones I really like for future inspiration - like this!) I hope the person getting this card likes it. :)

Mojo Monday 83

2009-04-26T11:37:00.004-04:00

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to create one of my Mother's Day cards. I'm not sure if it'll be for my mom, mother-in-law, or one of my grandmothers yet, but I love the combination of pink, orange, and brown. Have a great Sunday.

Playing with the Girls - Part 2

2009-04-10T20:16:00.003-04:00

Here are the last of my shares from yesterday's play day. I was glad to get some cards made to add to my stash so I don't have to scramble to make them at the last minute. (I really should do that more often.) Have a great weekend.
