A Happy Birthday Card

Wanted to share with you the Birthday Card I made for my Cousin who along with her 2 brothers turned 18 last weekend.  My cousin is a very unique girl.  She is a very talented drawer and I really enjoy making cards for her.  I try and make her birthday cards to match her personality.  When I look for new stamps, paper and embellishments I sometimes look for very different ones just so I can use them for her cards. 

I almost wish I made a extra card to keep in my stash.  At least I have a pic of it.  I have gotten on this kick wanting to color, so I have been making cards that require more coloring then anything else.  Hope you enjoyed this quick post and picture.  Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully Sunday I can spend the day in my craftroom and play with my new goodies I got earlier this week.  Until my next rambling :)

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Cameo Coral (Stampin Up)

Stamp: Fairy (Online)

Design Paper: Halloween (Michaels)

Other: Misc. Markers (Copics), Die Cutter (Spellbinders)

Love when UPS brings Goodies

I got my SU! order yesterday.  Its my first order this year and it was a big one.  I was so excited when he came to work with my order.  Couldn’t really do anything with it other then drool on it until I got home.  I got home didn’t really get to do anything with it either other then take a few pics to share with you.  So as I am sitting here typing this my goodies still sit in my craftroom waiting for me to play with them and I don’t think (as sad as this is) I will be able to play with them until Saturday.  But I have several ideas dancing around my head, so at least when I do get to play I have a plan.  So without any more rambling see what I got….I did label these since for some reason the picture didn’t come out to well.  So if you click on the pic you can see what all Sizzix I ordered from the Spring Catalog.  I think the sizzix stuff was what I was most excitied about getting.

I only ordered 2 punches.  One was a freebie because of Salebration I got the mini label punch.  The butterfly punch is from the Spring Catalog.

Stamps.  Some from the Spring Catalog, Salebration and Hostess Items.

I also ordered the skinny bags (they are big enough to hold a pretzel rod).  I got glimmer paper free (2 sheets) and Designer Series Paper also a Salebration freebie.

So that’s all I got I didn’t think I did to bad.  So once I get a chance to play I will post what I made. 

Come back tomorrow I have a Birthday Card I made for my Cousin’s Birthday that was over the weekend.  Hope you have a wonderful evening and until my next rambling :)

Is it Spring yet?

The crazy weather we have had here in Indy is ridicules.  One day it was 60 degrees and the next day it was like 28 degrees.  Yesterday we had a miner ice storm and who knows what the weather will be like tomorrow.  At this point I cant wait for Spring to be here.  So like I mentioned last blog post I did some decorations for a Baby Shower my mom held at work for one of her former employees.  So I hope you enjoy them.   I did notice while I was downloading the pictures I completely forgot to take a pic of the card I made for her.  Sometimes I am so goofy. 

Now these weren't made with my Cricut I actually found the pattern for the baby shoes online and then I cut them out and put them together.  The actual pattern was a lot bigger then I wanted so I shrank it down to I think 50%.  These were made to hold m&ms and Hershey kisses to hand out to the guests as party favors.

This set of baby shoes I made for the mother-to-be as a memento of the baby shower.  These were made using the same baby shoe pattern with shrinking the size down to like 75%.  Now these were a lot harder to do because they are so small, but they were really cute.

These were made with the Cricut Machine.  The baby carriages, bottles & pacifiers were used on the table as decorations.  I made a little stand with scrap paper and glued it on the backs. 

All the decorations were a big hit.  Mom said whatever the mother-to-be didn’t want the other guest wanted them.  I hope you enjoyed the pics.  If you would like a copy of the baby shoe pattern please let me know and I can send you a copy of it or can look up the link to the actual pattern (the full size) and pass it onto you.  Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend.  Until my next rambling :)

Birthday Card & Gift

Good Evening all, hope you had a wonderful day.   I just realized today that I forgot to come back and put on here a Birthday Card I made for my SIL and the Snowman light that I made after Christmas.  I have no excuse other then being lazy for not coming back and saying Hi and look what I made.  I also have a few other things I made last week for a baby shower my mom had for a former employee.  Those pictures I have yet to upload onto my computer.  Hopefully I can do that in the next few days and get them posted.  Okay enough of my blah blah blahing.  So without any further rambling here is the Birthday Card.

I love this stamp.  Its not only really cute but its fun to color.  I used mostly retired cardstock from SU! for this card.  I've been trying to use up the older cardstock and scraps I have.

The snowman you probably have seen all over the net during Christmas time.  Its made from those battery operated flickering candles.  My mom got a big box of them on clearance after Christmas so I thought I would make one.  Its super easy and really cute.  My mom had me make it for my SIL as a birthday present. 

Well I hope you have a wonderful week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Until my next rambling :)

Winter Blahs = Spring Cards

Good evening all.  Hope all is well with you and your family.  All is well here in my household.  Just wishing Spring would hurry up and arrive.  I'm so getting tired of cold & snow.  So I thought with all the snow & cold I would make some bright and Spring cards for a couple of my mom’s employees that are moving on.  I haven't had a lot of time to spend in my craft room lately because its being used as a bedroom right now, hopefully when all has settled around here I can once again get into it and create.  I have had so many ideas for cards running thru my head that I want to get in my craft room and be creative.  So without anymore rambling I will show you the Spring cards.

Not sure I really like the saying, but I don’t really have a stamp that said “ So Long” so I had to settle on stickers.

This one was fun to make but took a little time to glue the butterflies on the card.  The card also shimmers in the light but doesn't show up to well in the picture.  Also wasn’t sure if I liked it to much because there seemed to be to many butterflies on it, but everyone else thought it looked good. 

Well I hope you enjoyed the cards.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Check back later this week because I have a birthday card and a snowman light to share with you.  Until my next rambling :)
