Anna's Announcements

Finally! They are complete! It took me forever, but here are Anna's birth announcements. I basically came up with the design myself based on what I had available in the house. Most of our stuff is still hanging out at my in-law's house so I was very limited as to what I could do. I am really happy with how they came out though!

Thinking Pink!

There's a new baby in our family! My brother and his wife just had a baby girl 3 days ago. I am so excited and honored to make their birth announcements. Also, I have a totally fabulous baby gift idea. It's a great thing my sister-in-law loves homemade gifts!

Since my husband, two children and I will be moving next week I won't have the ability to make anything for a couple weeks. But as soon as I do, I'll be posting pictures! Stay tuned!!!

Love and Fairytales

I was so excited to try this ribbon blossom. It is so pretty and I couldn't wait to try it out. (I got the following picture from Splitcoast Stampers.) But I ran into a little problem. It does not say in the tutorial that organdy ribbon (sheer ribbon) works best. So, being that I have never tried it before and wouldn't know that grosgrain ribbon doesn't work as well, I made my ribbon blossom strictly with grosgrain. I still got the same effect, but it ended up being a lot bigger than it was supposed to be. I'll remember it for next time. Also, I think I might trim my ribbon a little more. I just might frame this in a shadow box and hang it in my bedroom. The stamp I used has the sweetest phrase: Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairytale. Isn't that romantic?

Lots Of Love

I've been a busy little beaver lately. I've had the opportunity to create some cards and I was in no way going to pass it up. So here's some more Valentine's Day cards that I made this week.

Hearts

This card took me (and Laura Anne) a grand total of 5 minutes to put together. I chose it intentionally because she wanted to help me make a Valentine's Day card. Cute and simple!

Too Great Not To Share

This idea came from a website called Little Window Shoppe. I am in love with it and can't wait to make one myself. It's a scrapbook made from an old baby board book! How creative! Find the instructions on how to make one HERE. Happy scrapping!

Valentine's Day Treats

These cute treats are quick and easy to make. I just wrapped a 6x6 piece of paper (I think that's the correct size) around a Hershey bar. Stuck a small strip of paper and tied a ribbon around it. Then I added a little square embellishment. Cute, right?

These cuties are mini cards, only about 3x3. With little ribbon accents and cute stamps, these are cute as can be!
But I'm not finished with Valentine's Day crafts! Stay tuned!
