Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming up quickly, and so far I only have two cards done. These are the two cards I made for my nieces Rachel and Kendra. I needed to get them done because they have the farthest to travel...all the way to Texas.

There are a couple other Valentine's pending in my head - I just have to get them made before I loose the ideas! So, hopefully there are more pics to come...

Happy Birthday Jodi

Tomorrow is my friend Jodi's birthday. Last night we had a bit a celebration over at the Butler's, including a tasty BBQ with all the sides, and birthday cake for dessert. We also had a bit of a planning meeting to try to get the details of the upcoming camping trip to La Wis Wis all lined out. I love summer!!

Happy Administrative Professional's Day!

Happy Day to all of you Administrative Professionals out there!

So in our office now there are eight of us Administrative Professional types. Although none of them work for me, I wanted to show my appreciation of them, and let them know how much I enjoy working with them.

First I made each one of them a 3x3 card. Then I made little cupcake boxes, each one decorated slightly different. I filled them with a notepad/pen set with their initial, a cupcake magnet, a pack of decorative alligator clips (all from Micheal's dollar bins!), and their little card.

It was a lot of work, but I had so much fun making these. I hope they liked them! :)

Another Easter Come and Gone

Even though Easter is a thing of the past, I just had to post two other cards I did. I'm not quite ready to pack away my Easter decorations yet either. Their colors are so bright, ushering in Spring, I'm simply not done enjoying them yet! Soon though, I'm sure. Can you believe that today is the 105th day of the year? That's nearly 1/3 of the year already gone. But no dwelling on what's not to be...what about what's just around the coner? More sunny days, warmer nights, fresh cut grass and barbeques! Yeah!

Easter Eggstravaganza

Here are my first two Easter cards...just getting started. I bought this {My Minds Eye} Bloom & Grow Paper Kit that I thought would be perfect. Nice and springy, but without going into those cliche' 'Easter' colors of mint green and lilac...not that there's anythng wrong with that :) I was just looking for something different. This is also my first card using my very first A Muse stamps that arrived the other day...got this one on clearance!

Spring Tulips

This was the card I made for my mom's birthday. I can't take all the credit though. Mom loves tulips, so I had the basic idea in my head, then ran across a couple projects on the Cricut Messageboard. I kind of combined them both to get a similiar, but new look. Take a minute to look at their work too...

Happy Valentines Day!

Here are a couple cards I tried to quickly put together today. Hours later I am finally done...good thing Valentines Day is all day long :)

I wish you all Hugs and Kisses on this Valentines Day!

One Week and Counting...

Can you believe Valentine's Day is only one week away? I swear before you know it we will be trimming the tree again! Well, first there's Spring and Summer :) As I'm running around getting ready to head out of town, I had to stop and quickly (well...quickly for ME) make my nieces their Valentines so I could get them in the mail before I leave. One looks kind of familiar, huh? Hope they like them.

Cupcakes, Cupcakes...

Autumn Apples

Another pretty basic card. Used: Cuttlebug - Autumn Type Folder and Cricut - Apples (1", 1 1/4" and 1 1/2") and Basket (Doodlecharms).

Happy Halloween!!

Thanks Granny!

My Granny helped pay for a fence at Mom and Dad's new house. When asked, she said she did it so Baylee wouldn't have to be on a leash, tied to a stick in the yard, and could run and play. So Baylee made Granny this little thank you card. Used Doodlecharms for the puppy, Opposites Attrack for the ALPO letters, and made the bones in DS. The inside sentiment says:

In the yard I like to run and play,

But without a fence I run away.

Some big green money you did pay,

So a beagle's thanks I must say.

Now I have a fence, hip, hip, hooray!

I'll be thankful to you every day.

With Sympathy...

Sweet Wishes

Happy Birthday
