Father's Day card

Hello Friends! I hope your weekend has been great so far. My weekend truly started on Friday because I took the day off! I dropped Paige off at daycare, then did a little shopping at the mall, got my nails done, then chilled at home for awhile before I picked Paige up. I'm just going to call those types of days "Me Days."  :-) My husband says I should do that once per month, and I think I just might take him up on that!

So, today I'm sharing the card that I made for David for Father's Day. We've been getting so much rain lately, I finally had a chance to get outside to take a photo. Unfortunately, it turned out a little dark, but hopefully it's not too bad.

This is another shaped card I made with my Silhouette. I inserted an iTunes gift card into the shirt pocket (my honey loves his music!). This was super easy to put together and David really liked it.

 

Well, I hope you have a great Sunday and thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Father's Day!

Hello Friends! I'm just popping in to wish all the dads out there a Happy Father's Day! I would especially like to wish my sweet husband, David, a very Happy First Father's Day! He is an awesome dad and he cherishes every moment spent with his little girl. We Love You Daddy!

 

Have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Owl thank you

Hello Friends! Happy Friday the 13th! I'm a BIG scary movie fan, hopefully there will be a scary movie marathon going on tonight! I think I may need to attempt to take a day off from work soon. I just need a day to do absolutely NOTHING! This means that I would still drop Paige off at daycare, come home, and jump right back in bed! You have no idea how wonderful that sounds as I type! LOL!

So, today I have another shaped card that I made with my Silhouette. I tell my husband all the time that the Silhouette was the BEST birthday gift ever! I use it so much and I absolutely love it! I made this card for my co-worker, Tammy. Just a little back story, Paige's room is decorated with owls, trees, and flowers. I used those cute wall decals and they are all around her room (thank you Chi and Leslie for putting them up for me!). My co-worker knew about Paige's décor and she bought her the cutest, chubbiest owl decal and it has her name on it. So, Paige's owl is now sitting in her tree. :-) To thank her I made this card:

It was so fitting that I found this shaped card, not only because of the owl Tammy gave me, but she also LOVES owls! They are all around her office so she really liked this card! The owl has little cross-eyed thing going on, but I think it makes him look even cuter! LOL!

 

Well, that's it for me today, I hope this day goes by fast so we can get the weekend started! Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Teacher's apple

Hello Friends! Happy Hump Day! It's mid-week and there's nothing like posting a cute card to put a smile on your face and help you make it to Friday. I don't know about you, but I truly live for the weekends!

So, today's card was made for one of Paige's teachers. Her birthday was about two weeks ago, so of course I had to make something! Remember, I'm trying to be "that mom" so I gotta keep up the handmade stuff! :-)

 

This was the first time I've made a shaped card with my Silhouette. I LOVE this apple! On the inside is a pocket that's perfect for a gift card (I added one from Dunkin' Donuts). I wish I would've taken a picture with the gift card in the pocket to give you the full effect, but I'll be sure to do that next time!

 

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanks for everything

Hello Friends! Are you having a great weekend? I most certainly am, I love spending time with my husband and baby girl! We had a relaxing day yesterday and today we'll go to church and probably out to lunch. Then tonight, it's on because we'll be watching the Heat bounce back to beat the Spurs! LETS GO HEAT! :-)

Believe it or not, I cannot for life of me remember who I made this card for. Either I'm getting old or I still have some lingering effects of "baby brain!" Anyway, here's the card...

I absolutely love that wet paint stamp set by Papertrey Ink. They have a few more sets with different sentiments that I think I want to pick up as well. Hopefully this card brightened up the person's day that this was given to (it's killing me that I can't remember!). Well, that's it for me today, I hope the rest of your weekend is spectacular!

 

Edited to add: I finally remember who I made this card for!! It was for my husband's cousin, she recently sent a gift for Paige and I made her this card to thank her. Whew, that was really bothering me!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations

Hello Friends! Are you having a nice weekend? Mine has been very nice, just relaxing with the family. We're expecting thunderstorms today, so it's a great day to be home and watch lots of TV!

The card I'm sharing today was made for a co-worker to give to his friend for her wedding.

When I think of a wedding I immediately think of flowers, so I took that idea and ran with it. I did a big burst of flowers right smack dab in the middle of the card, and then just worked around that. I used a polaroid die cut underneath the flowers and added the Congratulations sentiment. The rest of the card is just patterned paper that I stamped to include more red into the card.

 

Well, I'm going to go jump back on the couch and eat some snacks and hopefully watch a couple of movies. I have Captain Phillips recorded and ready to go! Have a great day!
