Birthday cards

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great week thus far. It's been very nice being on vacation, I've been chilling! Paige and I ventured out yesterday to an indoor playground (remember I told you I can't do HOT and HUMID) and it was really nice. Paige had an absolute blast! After that, we met my friend (and Paige's Godmother) for lunch. I had one of the BEST burgers I think I've ever had, and let me tell you I've had some great burgers. I think it ranks in my top 3!

I thought I would drop by and share two more cards from the set I made my co-worker.

 

These cards were made with the PTI Make it Market Kit - Shakers & Sprinkles but I didn't add the sprinkles or the shakers for a change. I just used the beautiful patterned paper and added some enamel dots. Easy peasy! I know I've said this over and over again, but I LOVE THIS KIT! It's so easy to use and all of the cards come out amazing. Thank you Besty Veldman!!

 

Well, I hope the rest of your day is fantastic and thank you so much for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Friends! Happy Valentine's Day! Do you have romantic plans today? My honey and I (and Paige) went to dinner last night and we had a great time. I've been teasing us because our reservation yesterday was at 5:00pm! One of Paige's teachers called us old farts! LOL! But, we did beat the rush and the food was fantastic! My honey also sent me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers to my job and I was able to enjoy them all day! I brought them home yesterday and they are blooming beautifully!

I gave David some cologne - Bvlgari Man and I made this card for him:

Yup, you guessed it another shaker card! LOL! I am so in love with these shaker cards - I think I might be addicted! I used the dies from the Make it Market Shakers and Sprinkles kit from PTI, and I die cut the word Love from my Silhouette. Believe it or not, that cute patterned paper is from Silhouette as well, it's a Print & Cut pattern along with those little kissing booth tickets. Have I mentioned recently that my Silhouette is the BEST crafting tool ever?! I added a little thread bow to the bottom and that was it, Valentine's card...done!

 

I also made these cute little mailboxes for Paige's teachers. I ended up making 11 of them! And of course these were cut with my Silhouette as well!

You can't give a valentine without a treat, so inside the mailboxes I added chocolate! The teachers loved them!

 

Well, that's it for me! We're staying in today, it's a chilly 47 degrees here (it may climb to the low 60's) and since that means my heat is on, that means it's pajama day for me and Paige! Although, I really can't complain because I spoke to my mom in Ohio this morning and they are expecting the temperature to be -6 tonight and -30 with the wind chill...BRRRRR!!! I hope you are staying warm wherever you are and I hope you have a fantastic Valentine's Day!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday with Sprinkles on Top!

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great week thus far, it's HUMP DAY! Don't those camel commercials crack you up?! Well, my week started out kind of tough because Paige had a fever on Monday morning. Poor thing, she's getting about 4 teeth at one time and it's really wreaking havoc on her! But, we gave her lots of TLC and she's doing much better.

Today, I have a fun card/gift to share. I think that Betsy Veldman is one of the most talented crafters out there. She does these fabulous kits for Papertrey Ink and the one I recently received is Shakers and Sprinkles. Oh my goodness is this awesome! It's so pretty and so fun! I made this shaker card for my co-worker and I only used the pieces in the kit along with some PTI cardstock. I also decorated a small gift box that I got at the Container Store, and the sentiment "Hope your birthday was the balm!" was taken from this post on Pinterest. Inside the box is EOS lip balm...cute, right!

 

I stamped the outside of the box using PTI's Daydreamer stamp set. My co-worker loved her gift (even though it was tad bit late!)

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I hope you don't get tired of these shaker cards because you will be seeing them again, and again, and again. :-) Have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping by!
