The last of the thank you cards

Hello Friends! How are you this fine Thursday morning? I'm doing great, my husband and I spent Easter weekend in Orlando and had a wonderful time. We stayed at the Peabody hotel and it was absolutly beautiful! We spent Easter at Magic Kingdom and all I can say is it was Magical! :-) My husband hadn't been there since he was a kid, and his eyes just lit up when we walked in it was great! Now we're home and just relaxing for a few more day until we head back to work on Monday.

So, today I have the last three thank you cards that I made for my brother-in-law:

 

 

 

All three cards were made using patterned paper from Studio Calico, and the sentiment stamps are all from Papertrey Ink. For the last two cards I used a great die from Papertrey and just added a little button to the middle.

 

Okay, this is totally random but have you ever tried Belvita crackers? They are breakfast crackers and I think I'm addicted!! The box I have is cinnamon and brown sugar and they are delicious!!! Well, I just had to mention that because I'm eating them as I type and they are just too good not to share!

 

I hope the rest of your day is fantastic, and I'm off to the craft room to create some cards! Thanks for stopping by!

More thank you card goodness!

Hello Friends! I'm back today with a quick post to share. I have two more thank you cards from the batch I made for my brother-in-law.

 

This is definitely one of my favorite cards! I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the little clipboards and the notebook paper. The patterned paper is from Studio Calico (yup, using up my monthly kit!), and the sentiment and fountain pen are from Papertrey Ink. Speaking of Papertrey, I just received a box of goodies yesterday so I need to get to crafting! I'm currently working on birthday cards for my sweet friend Chi, hopefully I can get those done soon.

 

I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I think I better go so I can start getting ready for work! Have a wonderful day, stay warm (it's only 45 here this morning!), and I will see you soon. :-)

Is it Monday already?

Hello Friends! Gosh, I don't even know if I want to say Happy Monday, where has the weekend gone? I think the older you get, the faster the weekend's fly by! Although the weekend was short, I sure hope you had a great one!

Remember I told you that I made 30 thank you cards for my brother-in-law? Well I finished those up a couple of weeks ago and today I'll start sharing them with you. So, my brother-in-law is a real estate agent/broker and he likes to send thank you cards to his clients for not only purchasing a property but for referring other clients to him. I made a variety of cards, using a few different lay-outs and patterned papers. Here are the first two:

 

These cards were both made with patterned paper from Studio Calico. I'm not sure if I mentioned this but I'm in a monthly kit club with Studio Calico so every month I receive a package of goodies, and I have made it my mission to use those goodies. I tend to hoard patterned paper, so this is good exercise for me! LOL! I love this sentiment, it's from Papertrey Ink and believe it or not, this was sent as a "thank you" with one of my orders free of charge! Imagine my delight when I opened that box! The sentiment is so bold, there really wasn't much I needed to do to dress it up.

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll be back later in the week with a couple of more cards from this batch! Have a great Monday!

Run Chi Run!

Happy Saturday friends! I sure hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start. I see sunny skies out my window, so I'm hoping for a beautiful day. My husband and I have a "date day" planned so we're going to be hanging out all day today, I'm really looking forward to that.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for my sweet friend Chi who finished her first half marathon a couple of weeks ago. I am just in awe of this girl, she is in great shape! All I can say is You Go Girl! Here's the card I made:

This card was made using some patterned paper from Studio Calico, the stickers on the bottom are also Studio Calico. I cut out the runner silhouette using my Silhouette Cameo (Cammie). I added a quick bow to the card to finish it off. This was one of those cards that came together pretty quickly, I guess I really had a strong idea in my head of how I wanted this card to look and I stuck with it (for a change!). Well, get on out there and enjoy the start of your weekend, I'll be back soon!

More birthday card goodness

Hello Friends! Happy Friday to all of you! As promised, today I have a couple of birthday cards to share. These cards are a little more masculine (and I use that word loosely!) you know I still have to add a little bling or some kind of girly style to it! :-) Word bubbles are really popular right now in paper crafting so I had these chipboard bubbles from Studio Calico that I used for this card.

This next card is one of my favorites. I love the patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket and those little wood veneer typewriters are just too cute! Those are from Studio Calico. This was really a fun card to make, I can see myself whipping this up again for my own personal stash!

 

So, what plans do you have this weekend? Me? Well, I'm meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow, maybe squeeze in a little shopping and hopefully a little crafting. Other than that, we'll go to church on Sunday and then just relax in the afternoon. That's really my kind of weekend!

 

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

Hello Gorgeous!

 

Hello Friends! I hope you are having a fantastic weekend! My weekend started off great, my honey and I went out to dinner with two of our very close friends to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went to a Polynesian restaurant that has excellent food, great drinks, and they top it off with an awesome show! I love to see the Polynesian dancers, especially when the guys dance with fire sticks! It was a lot of fun.

 

Today's card is from the set of 24 no-sentiment cards and although this does have a bit of a sentiment, I couldn't help but use it. I mean hello, it's a pink typewriter for goodness sake!! And she was printed and cut out using Cammie (my Silhouette). I used some patterned paper from Studio Calico, that little order slip is a stamp from Papertrey Ink, and some jute twine finished off the card. I really like how this one turned out.

 

I hope you all have a great Sunday, and I will see you again real soon!
