Cards.....

Ok, this is what I have been up to!! I have finally got to the point that people are asking me to make cards for them. This is very special to me because i love to do this!! Do I love every card I make, nope but that is what keeps me going!! I can do better. Do I follow to many blogs, some would say yes, but I say nope just a lot of ideas that get stored for later use!!

This is one that is not my best, but I made it after some sympathy and others, so I had trouble switching gears to baby!!
Plain, but nice, and in the inside is a stamp for an anniversary. I also made a matching envelope for this one.

Fun and bright! This just makes you smile, simple but fun!

Oh I was really happy with this wedding card. I had trouble at first! The order was for a mix of 10 cards and they gave me a list of what kinds they wanted. So when I got to the wedding, I was like I have no idea. I usually make the wedding cards to match the wedding. So I thought well blue is a good start and I love the way it turned out.

Sympathy cards, I find them a little on the hard side. You do not want them to over the top, nothing flashy, you just need to find that classy look. Thats the not the word I want but it is too late to figure it out. Any who, I find that if I go for an antique look, they work for me. Browns with a splash of color. I have an old hynm book that I use the pages of and then just build. I have never used lace, seen it done a ton, and I really like it. I have one further down the page that is very close to this one.

I like this one, simple with a little bling!!

Birthdays are sooo much fun! You can do anything!! I was able to do some invites for twin one year olds last week!! So much fun. I can not post a picture due to the info on the card (i want to be respectful of the parents!) But pink pink and ice cream ya!!

My other sympathy card.

This wedding card was for a couple that went to vegas for the wedding! This was from her coworkers so I had to make it big!!

craft time

This is a few of my christmas holiday projects!! I had a lot of fun this year and got some really good ideas and stuff from my good friend and stamp club leader Tiff!!

These are little reindeer! It is wrapped around a Herserys candy bar! So much fun and they went over well with my family!!


Formula formula and more formula!! What to do with all those darn cans?? Cookie Containers!! I have wanted to use them up for a while, but never really had a reason until this year!!

Almonds in a can! I got this idea a few years ago when I first started paper crafts, it is a soup can opened with a side can opener and then I sealed them back up again! Last year I put scarved in one for my neice, this year they got flavored almonds! The SP is for Salt and Pepper flavor!!

Notebooks for the fridge!! The long one is a regular notebook cut in half and the short one is a regular notebook! Thanks again to Tiff!! A couple girlfriends were excited about them, they just used one up and needed a new one!!

This is a few of the different sets I did!

My snow man thank you cards! This is just a stamp and some markers!! Good little project for kiddos! I did the boys this year, but Im thinking Zane will be able to help next year!!

I had one christmas anniversary!! I really like this one! I embossed the front so it stood out a little!!

I have made other birthday cards and such, but did not take pictures!! I have not idea why not, they were good!! Oh well!! :)

Cards

Another fellow card makers and myself wanted to do something for breast cancer awarness month. We both make baskets of cards to be used in a local raffle. The cards turned out great but I need to work on my photo taking skills!! :)

This is done in browns, not the purple that it looks like!

I forgot to rotate the picture before I posted it! :)

This is the final basket! I grouped cards together and it looked really nice and simple when it was done, but I took the pictures so fast that I did myself no justice! It will be at the Montana Styling Salon, until they have the drawing on the 24th during a fundraiser they do!

This was a really fun birthday card I made for a bug themed birthday party!!

A few cards!!

These first few are just some plan blank note cards that my sister needed for friends. I kept them really simple, almost too simple!!

This is a blank card I sent my aunt, I needed to get a few photos to her of the boys and this is what she will open up too!! She loves my hand made cards!

This is a simple birthday card for my "favorite sister in law" Hope she has a great day!! :)

Can you see Zane in the back ground?? I have to find a better way to photo these!! The top of a stool was a good idea!
