Another Thank You

Hello Everyone,

As I was cleaning up and organizing my crafty stuff, I found another card from last year I hadn't shared yet.  I made several of these for the Thank You notes for my son's Superhero Birthday Party last year:

Thank You

Triple Baby Shower!

Greetings Everyone!

Happy Almost Summer!  (Not that we are excited over here or anything!)

Finally . . . some cards!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry this blog has been so quiet lately . . . work and kid activities have kept me busy!  I am trying to get back to blogging and have some projects to show you from the past few months . . . .

To begin--I made some card sets for my kids' teachers for Christmas.  It was a 4 card set using Summer Fresh from Simple Stories and Lawn Fawn stamps.  I found some great inspiration on Pinterest!  So I listed the Lawn Fawn stamp sets and the link back from Pinterest as to where I found the inspiration.

Newton's Nook Designs--Inky Paws Challenge #6

Hi Everyone!

Sorry this post is so long in coming . . . first there was back to school . . . then came Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas--it has been such a busy time in our household!  Now we are in 2014  and I am hoping to get back into posting a card or project a little more often.

So let's start off with this card I made for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #6--a color challenge.  I found this patterned paper in my stash from We R Memory Keepers that coordinated so well, and then added in a few sequins (my new favorite embellishment :).)  So here is my card:

Loves Mew!

Stamps:  Newton's Antics (NND)

Ink:  Memento

Patterned Paper:  We R Memory Keepers

Cardstock:  Ocean Tides, Harvest Gold (PTI); 110 lb White (Michaels)

Misc.:  Copics, Sequins

I also wanted to share with you a picture of my little helper assisting with some ribbon:

Thanks so much for stopping by--have a wonderful weekend!
