Design Team announced today...

and unfortunately I didn't make it. But that's okay, I'll just try again next year! All I can do is keep working on my craft and apply again when they start looking for a new team. In the meantime, here are the cards that I entered with my application:

Coasters and a Note Pad

 

 

Hi There! I hope you all are having a great week, it's almost Friday! Do you ever have one of those week's where it feels like it's taking forever for the weekend to come? That's how it feels to me this week, but I did squeeze in some crafting time (thank goodness!). Today I have a couple of fun things to share with you. First is a set of coasters made from tiles from Home Depot. These are so much fun to make and with all of the beautiful patterned paper out there, you can do just about anything!

 



Second I have one of my favorite things, a note pad! There's just something about these note pads that make me smile. They're both functional and pretty what more do you need? :-) Both of these projects were made for my sweet friend Chi. The supplies that I used are listed below, and I hope the rest of your week is fabulous! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies
Cardstock - Papertrey Ink
Patterned Paper - October Afternoon (Woodland Park)
Stamps - Papertrey Ink (Take Note, Happy Trails)

Anniversary Photos

Hi There! I know it's been a few days since I checked in but I've been busy creating wedding invitations for a very sweet co-worker of mine. I should have them done very soon and will post the finished product! Until then, I have a few photos from our anniversary weekend.

So, when my honey and I decide to take a trip we have the same criteria every time. First, the hotel room must be nice:

 

Second, good food is a must (ceviche anyone?!):

 

 

This dessert was delicious! It was a crepe filled with bananas, fresh whipped cream, homemade caramel sauce, toasted nuts, and vanilla ice cream. It was heavenly!

And last but certainly not least, Quality Time with each other!

 

That was our anniversary weekend in a nutshell. We had a great time down in Coconut Grove (Miami) and definitely plan to go back again, and again. I hope you have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Happy Anniversary David!

Hi There! Today is a very special day for me because I've been married to the most wonderful man in the world for the last 8 years! David, I just want to take a few moments to let you know how much I love you, and how much I care about you. You are such a ray of sunshine in my life and I am so happy and blessed to have such a fantastic husband. These 8 years have gone by so quickly and when I step back to take a look at our relationship I see how much we have grown and how our love continues to blossom. When I look at you I see a man who loves the Lord, loves his wife, and loves his family. You take such great care of us and I just wanted you to know that my love for you is beyond measure, Happy Anniversary!

Let's chat a little about today's card. It's always tough for me to make a somewhat masculine card, but I think I did okay with this one. Although I chose to use ribbon at least it's a masculine shade of gray. :-) The supplies used for the card are listed below. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper - Authentique (Curiosity)

Stamp: Papertrey Ink (Damask Designs)

Embellishments: October Afternoon (Woodland Park)



Congratulations card

Hi There! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I am definitely looking forward to the weekend because my husband and I will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary by having a nice weekend getaway. I plan to post pics at a later date. :-) Today's card was made for my sweet friend Chi who has a friend that recently found out she's pregnant! I love hearing wonderful news like that and I was more than happy to make a card for her.

When I started thinking about the design for this card, I thought to myself what image screams baby? Well a onesie of course! So, I stamped the clotheline and stamped the onesie's onto patterned paper and cut them out. I then stamped the clothespins and cut those out as well. I used an embossing folder to create the branch-like image in the background, added the little hearts on top, the sentiment to the bottom and the rest as they say is history! My friend texted me to let me know that her friend really liked the card and that just makes my heart smile!

All supplies used are listed below, and I want to thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Supplies:
Patterned Paper - My Mind's Eye (Indie Chic)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Heart Prints), Avocado Arts (Hello Friend), Fiskars
Embossing Folder: Provocraft

P.S. To all of my card making friends out there...Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Happy Birthday Scrappy Chick!

 

 

Hi There! I hope you all are doing well, and are having a wonderful week so far! I would first like to say that I absolutely adore this image/stamp set! I don't have many scrappy friends, but the one friend that I do have is super scrappy and today just so happens to be her birthday! Happy Birthday Leslie!! I made this card for her (hopefully she opened it already!) and I sure hope she likes it.

 

I purchased this stamp set from the Close to my Heart booth at the Scrapbook Expo that was down here recently. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed it to make a card for my friend. She was stamped then colored with Copic markers, I did a little paper piecing for her apron then added the happy birthday sentiment. This card was pretty quick to whip up considering I've been thinking about what I wanted to do for about 2 weeks! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today's post!

 

Supplies: 

Patterned Paper - My Mind's Eye (Indie Chic)
