Another Onesie Card

I really love making these cards. I need to start listing them in etsy but I'm totally back logged for doing that sort of thing. A neighbor is expecting (and hopefully hasn't secretly found this blog because we haven't gotten around to getting it the mail, like I said back logged) She's having a boy any day now and we wanted to send them a card (seeing as how they are some of our best neighbors) So here's the boy card I made. Luckily I have enough paper to make one more I will eventually put on etsy.

YACC - Yet Another Cupcake Card

 

Seriously I have a problem... Cupcake Stamps just call me. And I've been using them every chance I get. I justify that at least now I have cupcake options so people won't get sick of always getting the same cupcake card from me year after year... This cupcake is from Taylored Expressions, Basic grey papers, and chipboard elements by ??.

Baby on the Brain

No not for us right now, but I'm suddenly surrounded by friends and coworkers who are trying, pregnant or just had a little one. When a good friend told me she was pregnant I immediately started thinking I needed to make a card (duh)... Kyle insisted I wait until officially past the 1st trimester (somehow I was too excited about the news that I wasn't even thinking about that) I've been holding back posting this one until the recipient received theirs. Inspired by this card, I was determined to come up with some onesie cards of my own and here they are. They are super fun to make and I love them so much that I had to make a template so I can keep making different versions.

'89 reunion game

I've had the last week off and I only managed to finish this layout..... I have a few cards I'll share later, but I ended up doing so many other things I barely had a chance in my craft room to be creative. If only I could take a few more weeks off!! I've been thinking about this layout since we went to the game. I started out thinking I'd make a 2-page layout, and wound up scaling it back to one. I like the results.

Vintage Button Earrings

I love buttons. So when my mom has been going through my grandparents things I was happy to take the buttons off her hands. I'm sure you can still find similar buttons out there, but there's something special about them coming from my grandmothers. I really wanted to find a functional way to use some of them. So I put together these earings. The hardest part was figuring out the best way to stabalize them. A touch of strong glue kept the headpin in place and I was in business. I am quite fond of the result.
