Baby Thank You

I will have to go and figure out who I go this idea from so I can post a link...but the little one is screaming right now :). I really like giraffes a lot! I have made several sets of these cards with different colors of ink and ribbon. It is very simple, but really cute for a baby shower gift! I used Blue Bayou for the ink. The ribbon is from the wedding section at Hobby Lobby, and the stamp set...is a clear set from HL. I will have to do some looking to find out what set it is...more later!

Another thank you card. This one was done using Nana's Kids by DCWV and the doggie die with the cuttlebug. I love how it turned out!

Thank you cards

Here are two of the thankyou cards I made for my son's first birthday. I really loved the thankyou cuttlebug embossing folder...and the orange ribbon. I am so glad that I was able to use it! Most of the paper was from Nana's nursery by DCWV (boy).

I made this card last week. I have been trying to do some of the card sketch challenges from SCS. This is one of them...I can't remember right off hand which one. I'll look it up later. I really like how this one turned out. These are some of my favorite colors. It is hard to see, but I stamped the sentiment twice with two different colors to make a shading effect.

This is a set I made for a friends birthday gift. The printed paper just reminded me of her! I really had fun making these. I think decorating the box was the hardest part. I just couldn't decide if I wanted a birthday sentiment on it or if I wanted it to match the card set. I finally decided to match the cards. That way it could be used for anything.

Here is the thank you card I did last night. I am really excited about it. I think I am going to make a set and a matching box to either sell or give as a gift. I really like the way it turned out. It is definetly one of my favorite cards right now!

Ok, so I was totally in a creative mood yesterday. Here is one of the projects I did during nap time. I decided I wanted to try one of the altered tins, and I was ready for something nicer than an index card box for my recipes, so this is what I came up with. It was tons of fun!

New Baby Cards

I made a set of each of these for two friends that are having little girls - actually one of them already had hers. I didn't get the chance to make a boxed set, because I didn't have enough time, but I was really happy with the way they turned out! They are definetly going in my design book! :)

Organizer

Ok, here is the new organizer I made for my ribbon. I got it from another lady...she had made one for her stampin up stamp pads, but I modified her design to put my ribbon in. Mine is kind of crooked and not as pretty looking as hers, but I love it! :)

First Idea for David's Bday Invites

The first pic was taken with the flash. The second was without. This is my first attempt. I still am not sure what I am going to actually make the 1 with...

Sympathy and Encouragement Set

I really like this set. It is really hard to see the embossing on the front of the cards, but it says "In Sympathy and Friendship". I posted the inside of the card as well. I found this stamp at Hobby Lobby. I really think the cards turned out well.

"A Friend Loves at All Times" Set

So I have to say that this is probably one of the ones that I was most surprised at. I really like it a lot. I am really happy with the way that it turned out. I will be making more of these!

Christmas Set 2

It is hard to see in the top picture, but the top two cards have a deer embossed on them similar to the card in the bottom picture. I just love this little deer!

Christmas Set 1

Patriotic Set

Monogrammed Set

This is a monogrammed set for a family member. The picture is not great, but I really love the colors a lot.

Cardinals

My Grandparents love cardinals, and since I didn't add any Holiday messages to these cards, they can use them at any time. It is so hard to shop for somebody that has everything, so I thought they could use these.

Floral Verse Set

My favorite colors. At least some of them. I wish I had had some verse stamps when I made these cards instead of the stickers, but I still really like them a lot.

Brown and Blue

I really liked these colors together a lot, so I made a set with them. The embossing powder matched really well. I wish I had more of the brown paper to make more of them, but I guess that is what Christmas money is for! :)

Blue and Yellow Verses

This is definetly one of my favorite sets. I picked the color scheme out for a particular person, and was so excited to find scripture stickers on sale at Hobby Lobby. I added the other embellishments, and this is the result. I am not sure I can part with them! Hehe! :) Those that know my family and can guess who these are for, please don't tell! :)
