I just love this little deer! He is too cute. Enjoy!

Some Bunny Loves You

Happy late Love Day! I hope everyone had a great time with their families and loved ones. I got the inspiration for this card from the Magnolia Ink Magazine. They have the most amazing artwork in it. I am bound and determined to get better with my Copic Markers. I need to get some Magnolia stamps and practice!

The bunny stamp is from Provo Craft. Paper is Making Memories Vintage line and the big orange felt is from the Dollar Store. I got a whole pack of different colors. Love when that happens!

Love Notes Book

Out For Design Team Work



A little late to be posting for love day...but here it is. I made this book for my husband and I to put little love notes to each other in. He has written me a letter in a small notebook every morning before he leaves for work. After 10 years, that is a lot of notes! I thought it would be neat to have a few in here to pass on to our children. We want to carry on the tradition of Love and what it takes to have a great marriage to them.

Paper is Sassafrass, flowers Prima and one handmade, black glitter letters are Pink Paislee.

Have a great week and don't forget to let someone know just how much you love them!

Hello Friend Card

A quick card to add to my box. I have been coating my flowers from Prima with Glossy Accents and then pouring on glitter or microbeads. It has a really nice effect and is super fun. I do it over a coffee filter because the microbeads tend to bounce away! Paper is Cosmo Cricket.

Halloween Cat Layout

Ummm...Can you tell I don't scrapbook in order? I just go through my picture drawer and pull out whatever inspires me. I don't like to be pressured into only doing what is current. It stresses me out! So here is Alex from Halloween. She was the most beautifulist cat around! Supplies are Making Memories and Prima.

Purple Sunshine Card

I was inspired by purple today. It is my favorite color after all. Stamp is from Unity and the butterflys are Quickutz. I hope you have a joyous day!

Easter Egg Layout

Another layout of Cutie Garrett! Paper and Easter eggs stamp are Close To My Heart and the Wee Little One rub-on is from Prima's Nursery Tales Collection. I tried to mist a butterfly onto the background cardstock, but it ended up looking too girly for me. Oh well, I think it covered up nicely...

They Sugar My Lips

I am looking forward to Spring and getting outside for some backyard fixing. This picture of Garrett was taken on our porch last Easter. The journaling reads: Garrett tried Peeps for the first time at Easter and considering the fact that he thinks marshmellows are one of the four food groups, he loved them! He was pleasantly surprised they they "sugared his lips."

Paper is Sassafrass and the black backround rub-ons are Pink Paislee. The diecut lips are Quickutz.

First Birthday Girly Layout

I made this layout and framed it for our adorable niece. All supplies are from Making Memories, Chloe's Closet. The white flowers are of course Prima and again the bitty rhinestones from CTMH. The bottom layer (blue paper) is from a Martha punch. Love those punches!

Love Card Handmade By Husband!

I have been sick for a while with kidney problems and my husband has been running the household. One day he decided to venture into the Scrapbooking Room and make me a card. I heard banging around and some cursing. :) Hours later, he emerged with this sweet card. I was so touched and then I opened it...and laughed until I cried.

Inside Of Card

Too Funny!! Leave it to a man to turn Crafting into something else!

Love Grows With A Smile Card

I made this card for a very dear neighbor that is moving away. The diecut heart is from Cricut's Seasonal Cartridge, Love Struck and the paper is from Cosmo Cricket, Earth Love. The Bitty rhinestones on it are from CTMH. I would buy these is bulk if I could. They seem to be making their way on to everything lately!

Merry Christmas!

One of our favorite pictures of Garrett. I went outside to take pictures of the decorations for my mother in law and Garrett peaked out just as I snapped the picture. So Cute! Hope everyone has a magical Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

You're Getting Muffin For Christmas

I made these gifts for teachers at school, neighbors, and a few friends for Christmas. It is a microfiber dish towel, a package of muffin mix, and a plastic spoon. Everyone seemed to like them and they were cost effective on my end. I wrapped the paper around the bundle with bakers twine and just glue dotted the rest on. Yummy!!

Vintage Bird Card

I love everything vintage and I wish I had more vintage scrap materials. These papers and embellishments are from Making Memories Vintage Findings. The pink velvet flower is Maya Road.

Easel Card

I scraplifted this from a fellow CTMH'er (Shannon Murdock). The leaves are inked and then embossed. If you do not have colored embossing powder, you can ink your image in whatever color you want. Then, stamp it again with Versamark over the top of your image. Then you can emboss with clear embossing powder. Oh the benefits of clear stamps! The set used is Flourished Blessings from CTMH. The card ended up being 6" x 6". A biggie! I loved this folding technique (easel style) and will definitely be using it again.

Christmas Tags

Here are 4 tags that I made for Christmas presents. Two of them have found a present and the other two are still lonely. I picked up these clear tags because I have been eyeing them for a while. I didn't really know what to do with them but they have been really fun to play with. They are Maya Road Office Sheers. I think the sugarplum one is my fav.

Christmas Card

Love my Unity stamps!! This one is perfect for Christmas cards I think. I also did a handmade flower on it and random stamped the background.

First Day of School Layout

Okay, April, this one is for you. I promise to do better at posting...Layout is of Garrett putting his backpack up on the first day of school. The paper is Pink Paislee's Amber Road. The white flower is from Prima. They are my new favorite and I wish I could buy them in bulk. With this one I rubbed orange ink on it and stuck on some black rhinestons.

On another note, photobucket will not let me copy and paste the html link for my picture anymore. I can't figure it out. I need help!
