Antique christmas/ birthday

Love this card! Turned out just the way I wanted it too... don't you love that! The strip of paper on the left matches b/c this paper is double-sided paper, so after measuring, I just cut it and flipped it over! I think ALL paper should be double-sided! Don't you :-)??

I used Sleigh Ride from i {heart} papers, Bella Baubles, PTI Scarlet Jewel cs, ink, and CTMH Chocolate ink (and a blender pen!).

This is one of those cards that is festive for this time of year, but is really a birthday card for a December birthday.

Enjoy!

Jake's 4th of July layout

I've finally gotten around to uploading the pics of Jake's 4th of July layout. We had some fun with his pics (his personality is so funny at this age) so I had to show that off in his layout! His layout is really similar to Emma's (you can scroll down a couple of posts to view hers). I just changed the main color of cardstock and the pics to focus on him.

Enjoy!

Candle gift

I made this gift for my friend and business partner's birthday. Stamped AND embossed. I hoped it would turn out better, but it smells yummy! First, I stamped the flowers in versamark and then embossed them in silver. Then, using CTMH cranberry ink, I stamped the *Seize the Daisy* sentiment all over. Lisa has a thing for daisies. It's very sparkly IRL!

enjoy!

Ladies, Ink November Card challenge

Well, I didn't participate in the September OR October challenges for our blogging group (and here it is at the end of November), but this is my card! I really love how it turned out!! We had to make a Christmas card w/ no red or green (this is as close to Christmas as I can get w/o using red or green!). It says Merry Christmas inside!

I also am using goodies that I won from Cathleen's blog candy!! Yea for winning! I used SUs Almost Amethyst cs, DCWV glitter stack mat for the pom pom, edge of the hat, and vest trim. I used the sentiment from the Sleigh Ride set and the Snowman is cricut. I used my cb folder swissdots on the background at the top.

The sentiment says, "It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you."

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers!

Sorry I have been absent from my blog. Starting tomorrow I will have some posts and (hopefully) will NOT be absent for 2 weeks again (at least for awhile).

Ladies, Ink blogging sisters... I *finally* did a monthly challenge again!! It'll be here tomorrow!

Enjoy your day!

Emma's 4th of July layout

I am usually right on target w/ my scrapping, but when I went to my project list I actually saw that I skipped our 4th of July pics!! So, I went back and scrapped the kids' 4th of July pictures. I used my cricut for the stars and the titles. I wanted to have a really simple layout b/c I actually couldn't think of something "different" to do with the 4th of July pictures!! crazy!

Enjoy!

Thank you card!

One of my blogging sisters was SO super sweet to send me some stamped images of one of my fave SU images! I paired it with the cs she sent that coordinated, PTI chocolate cs, chocolate remix pp, CTMH sentiment in chocolate and called it done.

Enjoy!
