Chalkboard Birthday

Hello Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! There are certainly many things for me to be thankful for this year, but topping the list is definitely our little girl! We are so thankful that we have been blessed with a healthy, happy, and sweet baby. Family is so important, and I thank God every day for blessing me with my wonderful family and close friends.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for my boss' daughter (gotta get in good with the kids!) LOL! She is 12 years old and is the sweetest young lady. I decided to go chalkboard style on this one as it is still so popular right now in paper crafting.

I think this turned out pretty fun and festive! She liked it and I think it helped me get in really good with my boss! :-) Well, I hope you are having a great start to the holiday season and getting your shopping done early, the deals are amazing!

 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Crate Paper (Maggie Holmes Collection)

Stamps: Think Big Favorites (Birthday), Cupcake Collection - Papertrey Ink

Misc: Enamel Dots, Washi Tape

SMILE

Hello Friends! I'm back today with a really fun/cute card to share. A friend of mine needed a little pick-me-up so I made this card to help brighten her day.

Isn't she cute?! I love this patterned paper by October Afternoon! Their paper and embellishments are so beautiful, I didn't have to stamp on this card at all! My friend absolutely loved it and she said it definitely put a smile on her face. With that said, my work there was done! :-)

 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: October Afternoon (Travel Girl)

Misc: Enamel Dots, Washi Tape, Twine

 

I hope you have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by!

Masculine Birthday

Hello Friends! While I'm home on maternity leave, I've been making a conscious effort to get some crafting done so I can start posting regularly on the ol' blog! Being a new mommy is great, but time goes by so fast during the day it's hard to really do much of anything else! So, I won't make any promises, but I will do the very best I can! :-)

Today, I have a masculine birthday card that I made for my brother-in-law's birthday. As many of you know, masculine cards really aren't my thing but I think I'm kinda diggin' this one!

This card came together really quickly. I just used my circle die to cut out the circles, added that little quote bubble and stamped the "Oh Snap!" sentiment. I then adhered those cute little wood veneer cameras, a few enamel dots, and the birthday sentiment to the middle. Not too shabby for my take at a masculine card, what do you think?

 

I have a few more cards that I made recently that I will be sharing in the coming days, and like I said I hope to get crafty more often - Wish me luck!

 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Farmhouse Company

Stamps: Think Big Favorites Birthday (Papertrey Ink), Picture Perfect a la mode (MFT)

Embellishments: wood veneer cameras, quote bubble (Studio Calico), enamel dots 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm in Love...

with this beautiful little girl! Please say hello to Miss Paige Nicole! She's now 7 weeks old and she is a healthy, beautiful, sweet, and busy baby. She totally has me and dad wrapped around her little  finger!

 

She is the sweetest baby ever! I think all new mom's say that, right? Well, I just wanted to pop in and introduce you to our little bundle of joy!

 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
