Greetings Everyone!

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

I recently went to a triple baby shower . . .  two baby boys, one baby girl!  Here is my trio of cards:

It's Been a Long Time . . .

It has been a really crazy busy year--I have only been able to craft here and there sporadically, but I am hoping to change that!  So I have updated my blog a little, and am now ready to have (I hope!) a really crafty summer!

Here are a few cards I have made a long time ago and never got to post . . .

If there is ever anything I use that someone is interested in and I don't list the supply, please feel free to email me and ask.  I am listing what I figured people would be most interested in. :)

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!

Newton's Nook Designs--Inky Paws Challenge #2

Hello Everyone,

Long time no see!  It is always so busy at back to school time!  This morning I took some time out to make a card for Newton's Nook's Inky Paws Challenge #2.  I just love Newton, as he looks so much like my own two kitties (and to answer Jennifer's question from the last challenge, their names are Jake and Elwood :). )

So here is this month's sketch challenge:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I just love all the fun things you can put in the wagon--such a cute stamp set!

Stamps:  Wagon of Wishes (Newton's Nook Designs)

Ink:  Memento

Cardstock: Canyon Clay, Dark Chocolate, and Rustic Cream (PTI)

Patterned Paper:  Simple Stories

Thanks for stopping by--if you haven't checked out Newton's Nook yet, you can so so here!

Have a great weekend!
