May Stamp club cards

I'm always trying to come up with something new and fun for my stamp club to do. I saw this stamp set and Close to my heart did these really cute layouts using it 1 boy, 1 girl. This typically boy set becomes girly with a color scheme change and some bling. Of course it always helps that I loved this set since I opened the catalog and thought it would be adorable for my nephew. After making these cards I think it's just as great for girls especially those "tomboys", but I'm pretty sure any girl would love these cards. I started off with just plain 12x12 Kraft colored paper. I diecut it on my cricut using one of the card shaped on art philosophy (that I changed to be your standard size 4-1/4x5-1/2inch card. I then took the bone border stamp from the "roar" stamp set and stamped it multiple times in colonial white ink the I stamped my dinosaur in Pear ink(boy) or Smoothie ink (girl) and the sentiment in sunset (boy) or black (girl). My next thing I did was border the colonial white cardstock with Dutch blue (boy) or Tulips (girls). I then hand dyed the white embroidery thread with sunset ink and hand dyed white seam binding with smoothie ink. Add a button and your done. They came out pretty cute.

A Quick pop in

I just wanted to pop in and share my LFB page I did for Little Fat Book Club.  I really feel I over thought the concept.  The only requirement was that we had to have something move.  I wanted to do some sort of spinner, but just couldn't figure out how to do it with in the 4x4 so that when the person received they could put their holes where they wanted.  So I decided to do simple pull outs that I also altered into mini colleges.  I kinda like it but it isn't what I orignally wanted.  I was lucky that Tabitha recieved because I forgot to take pictures of it, so I asked her do it for me.  On to the next theme... Angels, Cupid, "winged Beings" Valentine's.  should be interesting.

Thank you cards

The last couple weeks have been creatively consumed by a friend of mine's baby shower. I am helping her sister plan and create center pieces, invites, thank you cards, and favors. The party isn't for awhile but we wanted to get the creative stuff done before moving on to other things. We have designed and created 80 invitations, 14 centerpiece toppers and we started the thank you cards this past friday. It has been alot of fun creating with the mommy and Auntie to be. Lilly-Jaye (the baby) will have the best baby shower ever and she will know that she is very loved by all involved.

Minnie and me

This is another layout that I completed over the weekend. I was excited to do this one so excited I bought the Mickey Mouse gems about a month ago thinking I developed the picture with my last batch of pictures. I was highly disappointed when I found out I didn't, but it worked out and I created a pretty good layout.

Materials: Patterned paper (sandlion, Making memories), Stickles and paint (ranger), Ribbon and thread (unknown), Gems and punch (EK success), Cardstock (unknown and Bazzil), Letters (Cricut Jasmine)

Memories of Papa?

My Papa died when I was very young so I took a moment today to complete this layout and journal about not being able to remember him. I couldn't think of any other direction to go with this picture because I don't remember anything. I don't remember how he smelled or laughed, or how he sounded and it was holding me back from creating so when all else fails write what you know and I know the pain of not remembering someone who was so dear to me. The man who spent everyday with me while my mom was at work. My papa. The layout itself is based on a sketch for a contest on Page maps . I love sketchs and contests are pretty cool so wish me luck.

Cards

well yesterday I took some time to work on some cards. I don't do cards all that often but I was inspired to some. I figure it is a good way to get rid of some paper that I have bought. Cause I have a paper problem and seeing that I'm in the mood to make cards I will put them in a box so when I have birthdays etc I will just have to grab one. These cards are made with paper from the DCWV Sweet stack. They are gift card holders and the idea for them came from Paper Crafts December edition. I think they came out pretty good I have couple more to finish up. Then I'm on to more cards (i think). Pin It Now!
