Sweet Puppy Card

Hello! I have a cute puppy card to share with you today. I made it for a student who is recovering from surgery. I made the card based on this sketch.  I added a little bling on the puppy's collar. Thanks for looking!

Black and White Thank You Card

Hello!I made this thank you card using the Accent Essentials cricut cartridge. The black element is actually the negative image...I cut the flower for another project. I embossed it the "swirls" embossing folder by Quick Kutz.  The "thanks" die cut is from Mini Monograms.  I added a pink button and that's it....pretty quick and easy! Thanks for looking!

Thank You Card

Hello! Here is a sweet but simple thank you card I made using the Stampin Up! "For You Flower" and punch. I made quite a few of them in several different colors. I popped the flower using foam tape.


Thanks for looking! I hope to get more layouts posted this summer. : )

Birthday and Baby Cards

Hello! I have 2 cards to share with you today....finally! It seems more and more time passes between my creative sessions. We are having another snowy day today, so I thought I'd take some time to complete a couple of cards I needed to make.


This first one is a baby card for a co-worker who recently became a grandma. : ) I am going to give her a picture frame as a little gift. The stars are cut with the "George and Basic Shapes" cartridge at 3 1/2 inches. The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I had the button in my jar...not sure where I got it originally, but it looks cute. The sentiment is a sticker.



This next card is obviously for a birthday. : ) I embossed the background again with the "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug embossing folder. The flower is cut from "George and Basic Shapes" at 1 1/4 inches, then embossed as well.

Thanks for looking and have a good day....I am hoping to devote one night a week to srapbooking or stamping...to keep my creativity flowing and post a little more on the blog. : )

Holiday Tag

Hello! If you have not seen the Tim Holz 12 Days of Christmas tags, you have got to check them out! Of course, I could not compete with his artistic creations, but I made a "vintage-y" looking tag today. I used glimmer mist on it, so it has a nice sheen you can't really see in the photo. I also bought some Glossy Accents and wanted to give it a try. I used it on the Dec. 25 post mark stamp.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Red and Brown Christmas

I have a quick card to share with you. I was inspired by this card; loved the brown and red look. I was so happy to find Martha Stewart baker's twine at Michael's last weekend!


The gingerbread and hot cocoa stamp are from Stampin Up! and the "joy" stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael's. I embossed the background with a Quick Kutz embossing folder. Have a super day and thanks for looking!

Autumn Layout

Here is an autumn themed scrapbook page I completed recently. The leaves are clear embossed, then cut out and adhered with pop dots. I kept it kind of simple, using a collage-style layout. I did one for each of my sons' books. The background paper is so pretty, I didn't add another title. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
