Whooooo's Having a Birthday?!

Hi again!!
I'm back with my second card for today. 
I made a card last month for a customer of mine.  She asked me to make a pirate card for her great nephew.  Well, now it's his little sister's birthday so she asked me to make an Owl card for this little girl turning 1!!  How fun!!  I had a lot of fun making this card.  She was ok with me choosing the colors this time and doing pretty much whatever my creative juices felt like doing!  I like that!! 

Here's the super cute card:

I thought I'd post a photo with the personalization on it and one without...  I also inked around the edges on this card....  (My first time trying this technique.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and so is my customer!)

Anyway, I used Create a Critter for this cute card and Stickles!!!  So fun!!  For the name and age, I used Birthday Bash!! 

I hope you enjoy!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a WONDERFUL Week!!!

Love!

Hey all!!
I have two cards for you today...  but I'm going to make them in their own separate posts.

The first card I have is one I made for a friend's Bridal Shower.  I used the Sweethearts Cartridge for this card.  I used some really neat textured paper I had on had from one of my Die Cuts With A View stacks..  I got it on clearance months ago from Joann's.  It's one of the floral stacks.

Anyway, here is my card:

I think this card would be perfect for an anniversary or an engagement card!  I had planned on entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this past week but I missed the deadline.  Boo!!!

The sweet "Love" stamp is from Scripted Year from Pink By Design.  Inside I simply stamped "Congratulations" using a stamp from the same stamp set!

I hope you enjoy!!

The next card will be in the post above this one!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Baptism Day for Emma

My VERY good friend Stacey has a little girl who was just baptized yesterday into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  In our Church, you must be 8 years old to be baptized.  Here is where you can go to find more about what we believe: http://mormon.org/ .

Of course we had to make a card for miss Emma! 

I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the hair and hairbow and Paper Doll Dressup for the dress and shoes.

Paper is from my stash as well as the ribbon. 

The Stamp "Hooray for you!" is from Our Kids from Pink By Design. 
The face is from Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Character Face Assortment .

It was a beautiful day!  And it was so great to see some friends that we haven't seen in a long time!!

Congratulations Emma!!!  We love you!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!!

Someone New!

A very good friend of mine and her husband just adopted a little boy!  Yay!!  So excited for them!!  This is their first child!  She is AMAZING with children!  In the past 4 years since I have been friends with her, she has been absolutely amazing to my children!! 

A few of us (her friends) are putting together a party for the new family to welcome their new little boy and get him some much needed items like clothes, books, puzzles, toys, games... Kind of like a baby shower but not so much. 

Well, since I have 3 very active and wild children, I passed the planning onto a friend of mine who I had originally asked to help me.  (I'm really glad I passed on the planning b/c life has been ABSOLUTELY crazy busy lately and there is just no time for planning on my part.  I'm so happy Jillian is able to step up to the plate!!  Thanks Jillian!!)  Sooooo, I was at least asked to make the invites!!  Dustin LOVES anything with a motor/engine so I thought a Monster Truck would be most appropriate!  I LOVE how these invites turned out!! 

Check them out!!  I made 47!!! 

I was going to post the AWESOME wording on the inside of the invite but for privacy purposes, I am not going to do that. 

I used cricut cartridge, Boys Will Be Boys for the monster truck.  The Awesome paint splattered paper I picked up at Michael's.  I LOVE how these look!  For the stamp "You're Invited" on the front, I used Birthday Crazy from My Pink Stamper.

Hay Neigh-bor!

So, while we were at my mom's house sitting the other week, our neighbors who also happen to be our landlords, watched and took care of my daughters Guinea Pigs for us.  So, I thought it would be fun to make them a card to tell them Thank You for doing that for us and for all the other awesome things they do for us.... 

I used Creat a Critter for the horse and his cute bandana.  I used the cute Hay Neigh-bor stamp from My Pink Stamper's More Punny-licious  stamps.

Hope you enjoyed!!

PURSE-onally wishing you a Happy Birthday!

Wow, I have not posted for some time now.  We went to my mom's house to house sit and dog sit for a week and enjoyed the pool there and fenced in yard.  We also enjoyed spending some time with my Grandmother which was really nice b/c we don't see her often. 

Anyway, Back on July 9th my Aunt had a birthday...  I won't say what age, but it was a BIG 5-0!  No, she really doesn't mind b/c she is grateful for every year she is given.  I was complaining about turning 30 in Sept. and she said to not be bummed about it.  She said, "Every year is a blessing!"  She is a 2 time Cancer Survivor and a true Hero.  I love the way she turned my thinking about getting older into something happy!  She's right!  Every year....  every day, every minute is a blessing!!

Ok, so on to the card. 

I asked her what she liked and gave her a list of things and she said everything, LOL!  Not so helpful.  BUT she did tell me her favorite color is blue so I had that to work with.  Then I saw my stamp "Purse-onally wishing you a Happy Birthday from my stamp set Shop-A-holic from Pink By Design and thought of the perfect card!! 

I love the little purse stamp too!  How appropriate! 

I used my cricut cartridge, Forever Young for the purse and the paper is from my stash.... 

She really liked this card a lot!  I'm glad I was able to make her one and PURSE-onally give it to her at a picnic we had at my dad's house...  complete with a surprise birthday cake for her too!  It was a really fun day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aunt Jess!! 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Wow, a lot of card making!!

I just finished making 47 invitations for a party for a friend!  It took me about 3 days since I have 3 children and cannot work around the clock!  They look so cool!!  I will post photos later today or tomorrow! 

I hope everyone's week is great so far!!
