Birthday Wishes

From September to December, we have a lot of birthdays in our family.  So I have been making birthday cards to have on hand for when I am busy and can't make a card.  I love how this one turned out since I used my flourish stamp set. I really like the background that it makes.  Enjoy!

Birthday Wishes

 This simple card provides some of my favorite colors.  I really enjoy putting spring moss together with dark chocolate and summer sunrise.  I love how this card turned out and it will provide birthday wishes for a sweet friend.  Enjoy!

Paperdolls Challenge #22-CAS

 With this card, I am participating in the Paperdolls Challenge. 

This challenge was to create a card in the clean and simple style, use white space with a pop of color.  I thought that this card would be easy for me because I usually make cards in the clean and simple style but with so much white space, I have to admit that I struggled a bit. 

I knew I wanted to do something for fall with the colors but actually coming up with the design took me a while.  I am so glad I challenged myself to look at the white space as a positive!  I love the look and will have to do this again in the future!

Enjoy!

Get Well

 It has been a long time since I have posted.  Life has been crazy due to moving but I am finally ready to get back to making some cards.  Last week my dear friend had her appendix taken out...what a surprise.  Naturally I needed to make the family a meal and of course send a cute card!  I love turning to my everyday buttons set.  The card turned out great and now that my friend is recovering it is a win, win situation!

Many Thanks

 I have really been enjoying my set that I got at CHA, Four of a Kind.  It is so versatile!   I am like the fact that I can cover a small amount of space or the whole card.  For this card, I choose to use just one simple flower.  Enjoy!

Miss you and Hair Clips

Today is the kiddos last day of summer vacation.  The rude awakening of the school bell will ring tomorrow.  We are all ready but so not ready for the routine of it all!  We have had a great summer but we now move forward.  Abby was a little sad today because it was the last day of summer and Dad is out of town and will not be here in the morning, so she wanted to make him a card.  How sweet it really is.  She picked out the paper and the stamps.  I helped guide her into the design but she did most of it!  How fun is that!  Her Dad will be so excited to get a special handwritten note from his special girl! 

Here is her card......

When we were done with the card, she still wanted to create, so we decided to make some hairclips using some of Papertrey Ink's  felt and buttons.  I think they turned out pretty cute!  I love her color combinations and her choice of buttons!  Way to go Abby.  It was fun crafting with you today.  Good luck on the first day of 3rd grade tomorrow!  I hope you and your brother have a terrific day!  Enjoy!

You...are in my thoughts

I really enjoy using the All About You set.  I can be creative but still hit the point home.  I find myself going back to this set frequently.  Enjoy!
