Masculine Birthday Card

Happy Birthday Dad!! I love you

Cupcake Cards

There have been a lot of birthdays recently and I'm a bit behind on posting cards. So I've decided to post in themes. Here are a few cupcake related birthday cards. I do love the cupcake theme!! Although I'm finding it hard to make masculine.... hmmm ... So I'll have to keep working on that.

Back to Beading...Paris Bracelet

I've been watching a lot of beads baubles and jewels repeats lately and have really been wanting to dive back into my stash. I also recently bought a bunch of charms that I was drawn to. One of the sets was a paris motif (I know it's starting to become a bit of an obsession. ) So last night while catching up with the tivo this came together. I'm loving it. :) I can't wait to really wear it.

Welcome Home

Our friends have been out of the country for the last several months and we've been house sitting (it's actually going to be a little weird not getting their mail and watering their plants any more, but it would probably be a little awkward to just keep showing up) To help celebrate their return I made them a welcome home banner. I should have taken better pictures before we hung it up at their place, but this week has just turned out that way. I've been seeing a lot of banners lately on other peoples blogs and got inspired. So welcome home friends, you've been missed.

Thank You Card

I've started to collect rubber stamps, I'll fall in love and must have, and then never use. So I've been really trying to make an attempt to use them. So I needed to make a thank you card and pulled out these flower beauties. I do like the end result and might keep playing with them or make some more just like them to have around.

Crop Chocolate - OMG

Crop Chocolate Yummm is all I can say. Just ordered the Desktop Carousel by Making Memories  

Just under $20 and it should arrive at my door.   That was a deal I couldn't resist.   I've been looking at this thing for months and just couldn't quite justify it.    Today I gave in.    I want it now!!

Cute Bunny Stamp Screams Easter is Coming!

So for the first weekend in forever neither of us was sick and I didn't have a migraine, we had a whole Sunday with no plans! This led to Kyle spending the day working on his car and I was able to blissfully spend time in my scrapbook room with some new stamps, never used copic markers and my very own paper paradise. Heaven... alas weekends fly by way too quickly.

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with these Easter cards, it's a little wierd that I'm in an Easter mood seeing as how we don't celebrate the holiday. I've actually been known to completely forget it as an adult (since the easter bunny with chocolate and peeps no longer stops by ;) ) So they might have a chance of actually winding up on etsy. But I'm loving the bunny!! So I just may have to make more. I know I make no sense.

Brotherly Love

It's not been a good week with the post office, yesterday it was totally my fault not getting Jen's card in the mail, but then my brother's birthday package showed back up at our door!!!  Seriously!!!?    Somehow the address label I'd taped on multiple times had been torn off.   So despite paying for upgraded shipping so it would get there well in time for his b-day today...  well it won't :(   So Adam if you are reading this Happy Birthday and here's a preview of the mail that should be coming your way.   *sigh*.    

Happy Birthday Jen!!

I've really been trying to get my act together and be more prepared. I used to be so on top of things, but lately I've been seriously slipping. I actually made cards for this months events weeks ahead of time it was getting them into the mail that proved to be problematic... gah... well really I'm trying, does that count for something? Well I didn't manage to do as much as I planned to be sent off with the card but the card is done so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN, it's your holiday!!! I hope you have a great day and the "card is in the mail" :)

Mini Album - Half Moon Bay

This last weekend we took a little mini trip up to half moon bay for valentines weekend. Kyle had 4 days off and I decided to take it off with him. This is the last holiday until may and we both really needed it. I was really sick over Christmas and didn't really feel like I got a break and he's been really worn out by work so we just needed a relaxing get away. This was perfect. Here's a mini album of our weekend.

Valentines Day Card

Simple and sweet valentine's day card for my husband.

Birthday Card

Birthday card for a friend.   It's for a friend that I've been pen pals with for since high school, we met in band camp, yeah yeah...   I've been really bad lately about writing so I wanted to make sure I didn't forget her birthday this year.   So here's the card I sent off.    I've been in a HUGE pink mood lately and am loving all the pink/brown and pink/black color combos that are out for valentines day.    I'm happy to use them for every occasion.     

Thinking of You

I've been in a huge pink mood lately. So while working on some cards and going through some scraps this came together. I actually really like it. I'll probably end up putting it on etsy if I don't end up using it myself first.

We Scrap Layout of the Day

YAY my layout of Kyle playing in the snow was picked to be todays layout of the day. Whoo hoo. :)

baby card

Finally we had a free weekend so after we did errands and stuff we needed to catch up on I had some craft time. Using some scraps I had and new stamps for the flourishes I put this together while trying to work on a birthday card. Eventually I got there, but this came first.
