Finally an update!

Sorry for the HUGE post, but I haven't updated in a while. Here are just a ton of cards and things that I have made since January. I figured I would post them now before I have the baby!

H's birthday card. It even has dark hair like hers. The little girl and her clothes are stickers. SO CUTE! You could pick the dress that she wanted to wear. It was like a little sticker dress up doll.


Wedding card


These were Mother's Day cards for my Mom and B's Mom

I made the tags into magnets so they could go on the fridge and see my cute kids all of the time!


Birthday card for one of M's little friends, she helped "design" it. She chose the paper and colors.


Baby card for a friend. The pocket is actual denim material and then I drew the stitching on with a white pen. And the "it's a boy" is stamped on in Craft White from Stampin' Up.


M's Lunch Pail Kit from Heartstring Designs. Turned out cute. I love the Crop-a-dile! It went right through the tin so easy!














Birthday again...


Birthday again...


Baby, jungle themed baby shower and this kit was perfect for the occasion!


Just a thank you


Baby girl card. Get it...so sweet...strawberry background...sweet baby. Oh well. Maybe it is just me. I also love my Cricut and crystal effects from Stampin' Up!


Whew!! That was a lot to go through. Now I have to do some 12 x 12 posts!

Halloween Favors

These are some Halloween treats that I made for the girls classes. I put M&M's in them. I just used cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. And then made them into a tube. Then you squeeze the ends the opposite way. Really easy. I stamped on them before folding them using clear stamps. Love those! The spider and web was my favorite!

Birthday Invites & Gift

These are birthday party invites for Milaya's party. They are little purses that open up with the info inside.




I made these cupcakes for her class at school. I have been seeing tons of these "cupcake creations" where you make a design with them and frost it all together. This one was hard to frost together so I had to do some by themselves and then put them in the shape. There was pink for the girls and plenty of green for the boys in her class. They thought it was cool. Am I the coolest Mom or what!?

I decided that while I had the portable canner from church I would put Milaya's gift in this can and seal it. That way there was NO peeking! I just added some paper and embellishments to it. I thought it turned out cute. Too bad the can-opener was being uncooperative and we had to throw it away. I was going to let her use it to store stuff in. Oh well. Maybe next time. I did save the paper and stuff on it to do a layout later.

Towel Bags

I know I haven't updated in a while, so there will be a few new posts on here. Hopefully I can get them all done!

These are just some bags that I made with the youth at my church. I just found these towels for $1 at Wal-Mart. Got some ribbon for the handles, and I had some old buttons that we put on them. I used cross stitch thread to whipstitch the sides closed and then hot glued the handles on it. We wanted to make it simple and quick for the girls to do. The first on I made. Milaya's is the brown one, she designed her buttons. And Hali's is the light blue one. She also "designed" her button flower.

The back of mine

The front of mine. I sewed a button on the front(in the middle) and put a thin piece of ribbon to loop over the button to keep it closed at the top. You just can't see that in the picture, sorry.

For Mom & Dad

This is a picture that I have had since I got married. I have always loved it. So I thought that I would frame it for my parents and send it to them. But silly me sent it before the storm. Now it is lost in the mail somewhere and they can't get it yet. I was going to make it a surprise for them, but they might see it on here. So, Mom and Dad if you are reading this I love you very much and I am very glad that you are my parents. This wasn't supposed to be for an anniversary or anything like that. It was a "just because" thing. I hope that you like it.

Make & Take

This is my make & take that we did for Amanda's party last night. I forgot to get pictures of the ones that they made, but here is what they based it on. I am starting to like the color orange. I know I am from Orange, but it wasn't my best color. Anyhoo, I can scrapbook with it and don't have to wear it right!?



Supplies:
I used a large mat board tag
vellum flowers that I punched out(blue & orange)
felt flowers from American Craft
bronze colored eyelet
paper that was left over from a previous kit
twine
distress ink in vintage photo

I wanted them to play with different textures on one item to see how they can work together. I also wanted them to be able to use the Crop-a-dile. Love that thing! It is quiet and so easy to use. They loved it and were amazed at how easy it was.

Halloween

OK, so I am just getting to do my halloween pictures from last year. Just in time to take more! This is from the October kit that is coming out in a few weeks! I already have a page done! Whoo hooo! I plan on doing more so I might add it to this one later. The kit came with a stencil sheet that was too cute. That is what all of the swirls and the circle in the middle came from. I used the white pen from Inkssentials. WAY CUTE! I love it!

The kids weren't anything scary for halloween so I didn't want the page to be scary. Maybe I will add a few pumpkins to it or something.
