Congrats

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you're having a great start to the New Year. I don't know about you, but this first week back to work was a rough one! Oh my goodness, it just seemed like the week dragged on...geez I gotta get myself back into work mode!

So, I've been reading blogs from other crafty girls to see what they do for organizing their "stuff." I think I found some really good ideas, so I've ordered some things and hopefully it will help me to get better organized. I've also had at least five people tell me that I need to get on Etsy, and that's just this week! I guess that means I need to start working towards that too. Goals are good, so Etsy is one of my goals for 2015.

Today, I'm sharing a cute little gift I made for Paige's teacher. She recently graduated from college and I made her a little something to congratulate her.

So, I filled up a cute mason jar with lemonade packets and made that cute little owl gift card holder with my Silhouette. I added movie tickets to the gift card holder so she could have a little down time with her hubby. It didn't take much time to put this together, but that cute little owl just makes me smile!

 

Well we are heading to our friends house for dinner tonight so I'm looking forward to that. I hope the rest of your day is great, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Happy Hump Day! I hope you're having a great week so far, and we're another day closer to the weekend! So, I'm trying really hard to do at least one crafty project per week and so far so good. Even if it's just one card, at least I'm crafting! I'm trying to take advantage of Paige's nap time on the weekends, and it's been working out nicely.

Today, I have a congratulations card to share. I've become good friends with one of my customer's at work and she recently called to tell me that she got a promotion and will be moving on to another department. With the move, we won't be in contact for work-related business and although I'm super happy for her, I will miss our interaction. Of course I had to make a card for her because that's just what I do!

For this card I used my Silhouette to cut the Polaroid frame and then I added the office supplies from PTI's Desktop Design and the sentiment was stamped with the Swoosh set. I absolutely love that little typewriter, and how cute is that little piece of paper with the super small sentiment of keep in touch! The patterned paper is from October's Afternoon's 9 to 5 collection which as you know is my go-to collection for office themed cards. :-)

 

That's it for me today, I hope you have a great day. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Congrats on new home

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday to you, I hope your weekend is off to a great start! My weekend has been great so far because I had the day off yesterday and spent the day at the hair salon and at the mall doing a little shopping. I actually had a "me" day and it was kinda nice. :-) Today we're heading to our church picnic so that should be fun. Nothing like barbeque on a nice sunny day!

On to today's card. I made this one for my boss, she recently bought a new house and they are very excited! So, of course I had to make her a card and I also gave her a bottle of her favorite wine. My husband lovingly called me a "brown noser" but I don't care, my boss is great and she deserved it. :-)

Don't you love that patterned paper? It's by Crate Paper and it reminds me of Leave it to Beaver and that whole retro 50's style. I really didn't do much stamping on this one, I truly let the patterned paper be the star!

 

I think I'm starting to get a little more familiar with my camera and I'm hoping that my images are getting better. Trust me, I'm trying really hard!! Well, I hope the rest of your weekend is fabulous, and thank you so much for stopping by!
