Recovering from my weekend

Who knew Retreating could be so tiring. I guess I should have allowed for more sleep time. It's very hard for me to stop when I'm on a roll but I paid for that last night. My sweet husband let me sleep in this morning till 10.



I made a small banner using the "lost and found" line by my minds eye. It turned out pretty cute. This shows it under construction and the glossy accents drying.

Here is the finished product:

Party Time!

My youngest daughter is excited to be hosting her 1st ever Halloween party!! She plans to invite some boys too, so it should make for an interesting evening of spooky fun.

I used the fun Bo Bunny Halloween line "Whoo-ligans". I'd been looking for just about any excuse to use this line of paper. She was thrilled with my invitation design and they are all tired, enveloped, addressed and ready to be delivered to her friends! I guess she's a bit excited :)

Happy B-day to anyone!

In my recent card making I've enjoyed alot of the current paper lines. With all truth be told I have to say this line of "B-day Bash" by Imaginisce is my most recent favorite. I love making birthday cards, and this line is so versatile. I've made adult cards, kids cards, men, women's and everything in between with this line. Seldom does it come along that you can create so many different items for a broad span of ages and sexes.


If you can find it still on the shelves of your local scrapbook store, I'd suggest you grab what you can and add it to your stash (you have one...we all do).

For my local readers: I know our local store Scrapper's Boutique has some still in stock!

Fun is in the Cards!

...and family too for that matter! This was a fun little card to make. Using both stamps and fun printed paper....2 of my favorite things. Throw in a little ribbon to hold the tag and a dimensional pop dot for the family sentiment and you have yourself a card that could be used for multiple occasions.

If you like it and are interested in purchasing it, you can find it for sale in my Etsy store.

I'm Back!

WOW, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted here. I was in a bit of a craft rut and felt like I had lost my mojo for awhile. Recently I am back crafting, cropping with friends and stepping back into the projects I love to work on.

Halloween is just around the corner! I thought I'd get started on a few spooky items.

So today I'm sharing with you a couple card I made using My Minds Eye paper, a bit of card stock and ribbon.
