Congrats

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend. My weekend was very good and even more productive. I spent the entire day on Saturday hanging out with Paige. We went to an indoor playground (I think I mentioned this place before), then we had lunch at Cheesecake Factory. We did some shopping after that and just had an all-around great day together.

Yesterday, I finished Paige's birthday invitations - woohoo!! I think they came out pretty cute, I'll be posting them soon. I also had the opportunity to get started on birthday invitations for my nephew, his birthday is a couple of weeks after Paige. His entire invitation is being cut with my Silhouette, so now that I have everything cut out I'm prepped and ready to go. Hopefully, I'll get those done by the end of the week.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for my co-worker. Her nephew recently got his driver's license so she asked me to make a congrats card.

This card was so fun to make! I used the stamp set Enjoy the Ride from PTI for the car and the license plate. I made a faux hill by cutting out some green cardstock, then I added those cute trees just to add a little more interest. I really love when I get to make cards that I normally wouldn't have the opportunity to make because it really gets the creative juices flowing.

 

I still can't believe it's Monday already, but here we are with another start to the work week. I hope you have a great week and thank you so much 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!

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)
