For my Grandma who loves cats!

My grandmother loves cats, I usually think of her when I see them. I wanted to send her a card since I have not seen her in a while, I also have some cute pictures of the boys for her. I saw a cat similar to this made by Heather Summers, I changed some things to make it my own. The card is a 4" x 4" and I used the 1 1/4" square punch to make a quilt like pattern. I never used to decorate the insides of my cards and now I don't feel like they are complete unless I do.

Thanks for stopping by and have a purrfect day!

Honey Bee's!

This set was a must have for me, I ordered it right away when it came out! I made this card for a class, it is quite simple to put together. I got the idea from a swap I received a while ago, sorry I don't remember who's it was. I just love those honey bee's!

To make this card you will need:

C/S-Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Whisper White (Very Vanilla looks better)

Ink-Soft Suede ink pad and marker and Crushed Curry marker

Stamp Sets-Just Buzzin' By

Accessories-1"and 1 1/4" circle punches

Thanks for stopping by and have a honey of a day!

Hello Grandma!

I made this little card for my grandma. I haven't seen her in a while and thought I would send her a couple pictures of the boys. Someone was getting rid of some of their swaps so I picked through them and came across this idea. I completely changed all the colors, stamps and accessories to suit my boys. This card is made by altering an envelope, I think these would make great invitations. I apologize, I did not write down the measurements as I made it so if you want them then please send me a message and I will post instructions.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Medallion

I made a card basically the same a while back but thought I would show this one anyway. The two differences are that the old one was a 5 x 5" card and this one is a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" card and the saying and how I put it on, I used punches for the old one. I really do like this card and this is such a beautiful stamp to work with.

Guest Stamper Sherri Mills

I recently got together with my stamping group for a shoebox swap and this was the card that Sherri Mills made for us. I think this card would be great for a young boy's birthday, Craig loved it when I showed it to him and kept asking me to see it again. It is made using all SU punches and we free handed the tree.

Crazy for cupcakes!

I designed this card for a card class I did last week, I wanted to show the Big Shot and I wanted everyone to have time to run their own Top Notes through. Crazy for Cupcakes is probably my favorite set to use for birthday cards. Inside I used the stamp 'hope you have the sweetest day.'

Here's what you need to make this card:

Card stock-Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and Whisper White

Ink-Perfect Plum, SU markers

Stamp Sets-Crazy for Cupcakes

Accessories-Top Note Die, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1" punch, dazzling Diamonds and silver brads

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Potty Time!

I have been trying to make a potty chart and prize container for Craig for some time now and last night I finally got it done. I am looking forward for him to be potty trained and out of diapers. About five minutes after I took this picture he went into the bathroom all by himself, told his brother to 'GET,' shut the door and peed on the potty! Yeah! I went to see if he needed any help and he kicked me out. This was only the second time he has done this and I am so excited! Back to the chart, I decided to make it on 12 x 12 c/s so that it can go into his scrapbook once he is done with it. The potty and the little toilet paper rolls are made using SU punches. The designer paper is retired, I think it was Jersey Shore? Attached to the prize jar is a little bag of stars for him to stick into the circles whenever he successfully uses the potty, once he gets to 5 (the green circle) he gets a prize. Right now the jar is full of hockey cards because he is obsessed with the sport. My inspiration for the punched potty was from Sophia's post on Andrea Walford's blog, I didn't have the punches she used so I made do with what I have.
