Happy 30th Birthday!

Chris, my darling husband, turns 30 Saturday!! This card couldn't be more perfect for him! I love it. I totally stole the idea from a card I saw on Splitcoast, but I had to use it!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE! I LOVE YOU!

Happy crafting!

My First Card Set

Here it is folks! My first note card set is complete! I made five cards using the Tart and Tangy Stampin' Up! stamp set. I did get a little inspiration from Splitcoast Stampers, but I put my own twist on each of the cards so they would be unique.

I have a few things to figure out still: pricing and packaging. I would like to find a cute way to package the note cards, such as tied with ribbon or something. I have some researching to do still, but there's time. I'm just so excited to have this first set finished! There will be more so don't stay away long! :o)

Happy crafting!

Wooo!!!

Great news! I am going to be in a craft show in October!! Yay! My mom and I are going to be sharing a table--she's selling kids clothing and I'm selling homemade cards! I'm so excited and today I started making my cards. I'll post them as I make them so come back and visit!!

Happy crafting!


P.S. If you are going to be in Jacksonville in October (I don't remember the exact date), please come by and show us some love!

Month of Birthdays!

August (or rather, the last week of August) is a busy time in our family! Four birthdays within 2 days! Yep, and this year the boys turn 3! Parties are being planned and it's going to be super fun! This first card is Joshua's:

This one is twin #1, Peter's: (Laura Anne picked it out)
And twin #2, Isaac's:
My hubby is turning 30 this year!! Woo-hoo! And I have the perfect card idea for him! I haven't made it yet, but when I do, you'll see! :D

A Birthday Card and Updated Family Frame

Happy Birthday to my husband's mother!! Her cake decorations matched her card which I thought was wonderfully unplanned! We had a great afternoon with them, eating some spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and salad, and finishing it off with some yummy cake and ice cream. I love birthdays!!

You may remember THIS post I did last year. I went on a name frame craze and made a bunch! Take a look at the one I made for one of my older brother's and his family. (It's almost identical to the one you see below). Since I made their frame, they have gotten rid of the cat and added a baby girl to the family! So I had to update their frame. All I did was re-stamp all the family members and use dimentional stickies to stick them to the paper. That way they all pop out a little. Baby Anna went right on top of the kitty that was already there and voila! Their lovely family of 5 is complete!!
What's next on my craft list? A couple things, actually. I would like to make some "we've moved" cards because my family and I are moving next weekend! Then I would like to make a tu-tu for my daughter. Click on the Paige and Brooke button on my right sidebar to find the instructions.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Ketchup

Oddly enough, I need to do a little "catch up" post like MckMama. Except mine's of a totally different nature.

This first card I made for my sweet friend, Arelys, for her birthday. I used some pink felt self-adhesive flowers. It's really cool and I enjoy the look.
This next card was for my husband for Father's Day. Our daughter, son, dog, and myself are represented on this card. I was at a loss as to what to do with the middle square. It occured to me later that I had some tiny alphabet stickers I could have used. But oh well. He really liked the card.

I love LOVE this one. This was my sister-in-law's birthday card. I love this paper from Stampin' Up! And the stripe ribbon I just happened to have lying around just matches perfectly. I love it!

Happy crafting!

Fabulous Site

Hello! I have some birthday cards and Father's Day cards to share with you, but I still have to edit them. In the meantime, I thought I would share a cool website with you that you just may want to check out!

I came across Paige and Brooke's website through a new blog friend recently. They are all about homemade, so you know I'm all about that!! Please go check out their site. I'm adding their link to my sidebar too.

Happy Crafting!
