Baby Brother's Birthday


I love the various button bit stamp sets I have and with my brothers birthday coming I pulled out the balloon one and put this together.   I love the primary colors and the big patterned paper in the background that mimics the balloons.    Happy Birthday Adam!

You're my cup of tea - Valentine's Card

Card Front

Card Inside

My husband has discovered tea and decided he likes it! I've always loved tea, green, robios, herbal, some black.... But after our recent vacation he's decided he really likes the stuff. So for valentine's day this year I decided to get him teas from tea forte in the heart box and make a card along the same lines. Here's what I came up with.

Cherries - You're so sweet

Card Front

Card Inside

The front makes use of Everyday Button Bits from Papertrey Inc. The inside uses a sentiment from a studio g $1 stamp set. I love the cherry motif but am having a hard time figuring out an "event" that's appropriate. So I liked the "you're so sweet" saying, and decided to couple it with "thanks so much". Many more cherry cards are in my future.

Happy Birthday - make a wish

I'm running low birthday cards in my stash and with a slew of birthdays coming up I decided to work on some while I had some time off work (which is sadly coming to an end tomorrow, boo hoo). Here is one of the designs I pulled together in the last week. I really like the "Happy Birthday - make a wish" combination from a basic grey stamp set. I also pulled out a changito stamp. The papers are from echo park.

Sweet Nieces

Here's a layout using some pictures from my brother in laws wedding this fall. I loved these ones of my nieces blowing bubbles. It was such a nice moment.

Gobble Gobble


When I saw the "gobble till you wobble" stamp in a recent set I got I knew I needed to whip up some turkeys to go with the sentiment. Here are the turkeys I put together along with the cards. I still have a few turkeys so I might try to make a few more paper crafted items before thanksgiving. Happy Turkey Day ALL!!

So Very Adam

When my sister in law posted this picture of my brother I caught myself just smiling. I also had to have this photo to scrapbook, you see this pose with my brother finger under his nose, IS my brother!! I used echo park - "walk in the park" paper. I'm loving everything they are coming out with and can't wait to see what they come out with next!

Card for Grandpa

Trying for a somewhat masculine card for my grandpa. Male cards are always harder, but I like the strong simplicity of this one.

Birthday Card For Mom

Loving the button cards, and had to go back and get a few more sets. I'm loving the hot air balloon motif lately, combined with buttons, genius. Well I like at least. So hope you had a great birthday mom. I love you.

Oh Baby.....



What's a girl to do when she finds out her best friends are expecting?   Whip out a card (using the baby button bits) of course!    Visions of baby album pages are swirling in my head.   I knew there was a reason I've been buying all sorts of baby themed supplies.      I am just so excited for them!!! YAY!!
