Crafty Sunday

I've been making cards (and running to Michaels) since I got up this morning, and I'm ready for a nap! My colleague Katie is a 4th of July baby, so this first card is for her birthday.


The 2nd card is one of 19 I made this morning. My friend Amy from work is getting married in a few weeks, so I made her this card for her wedding and 18 similar ones that say "thank you" instead of "cherish" that she can use for special thank you notes. She's a crafty girl, too, so I know she'll appreciate them.


I also made a set of baby boy cards for Lou's step-sister, who's having a baby in September. They're just like the one I posted here, so I didn't take another picture. Hope you're enjoying your weekend, whatever you're doing.

Celebrate birthday card

I made this card for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. I like the extra touch that the clear Stickles add to the center of the flowers. The second picture is the inside of the card. Have a great day.

Mojo Monday Sketch 93

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to make my dad's birthday card. It's pretty basic, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Chrissy's blog candy

Check out this opportunity to win awesome blog candy: Creating with Chrissy. It's open until June 24th. Happy day, friends.

Quick BD cards

My twin neices and sister-in-law all have birthdays this week, so I threw these together tonight. I'm liking the new purple and green paper - it's from the DCWV Latte matstack. Have a great night.

Mojo Monday 88

Here's my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It's a belated birthday card for my friend's husband. I don't know if he'll appreciate it, but I know she will. Happy day!

Annapolis

My friend Beth came over to scrapbook today, and while we did more chatting than scrapping, I did manage to complete this and 2 other layouts (plus a few cards).

I made this layout using a Pagemaps sketch from May 2009. (I just love pagemaps - great sketches for scrapbook pages, cards, and more.)

Negative Cuttlebug Technique

I saw this card from Stephanie Atterbury on Beate's Yahoo Group, and I was inspired to try it. I went so this thread on Splitcoast Stampers to learn how to do the Negative Cuttlebug Technique, and it was really easy. One of these cards is a belated birthday card for a friend, and the other is a "thinking of you" card for a friend whose father is sick.

Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.

Mojo Monday 86 & 87

Here are the cards I made using the Mojo Monday sketches from last week and this week. The first one is a birthday card for my friend Laura, who loves cats. The second one is for our nephew. Hope they both have great birthdays.

Hu-mung-o Blog Candy

Check out this really cool blog candy from Order of the Opus Gluei - it includes stamps, punches, ribbons, and all kinds of goodies. Good luck!

Swap card

Gina sent me this beautiful card this week for our SBS-27 swap, and I love it! Thanks, Gina - and thanks for the extra goodies. You rock!

Friends card

The inspiration for this card came from a card by Gretchen Barron that I saw on Beate's Yahoo Group. (I save the ones I really like for future inspiration - like this!) I hope the person getting this card likes it. :)

Mojo Monday 83

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to create one of my Mother's Day cards. I'm not sure if it'll be for my mom, mother-in-law, or one of my grandmothers yet, but I love the combination of pink, orange, and brown. Have a great Sunday.

Krista' has blog candy...

.... including a set of SU stamps. Very cool - check it out!

Playing with the Girls - Part 2

Here are the last of my shares from yesterday's play day. I was glad to get some cards made to add to my stash so I don't have to scramble to make them at the last minute. (I really should do that more often.) Have a great weekend.

Playing with the Girls - Part 1

I had a great time yesterday playing with my girls from work and celebrating the first day of our Spring Break. For 7 hours of crafty time, you'd think I would have made more than 13 cards, but I guess that's what happens when you get to talking and laughing. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the day. (The paper on the 1st 2 cards came from the new Spring matstack.)

Mojo Monday 81

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to make my mom's Easter card. A little clear Sticles on his tail, and this bunny is all set to hop off to Mom. Have a great Easter, ladies!

Flat Stanley at the Air and Space Museum

Flat Stanley also had an adventure to the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. (Can you tell we had company? My sister-in-law and nephew are here from Florida, so we're having fun being tourists, and Flat Stanleyis tagging along.) Click here to find out more information about the Flat Stanley project.

Of course, Flat Stanley's first friend in Maryland was Daisy, my puppy, who just had to check him out. The other pictures show his adventures at the museum, having fun with my nephew on the different exhibits and drinking a Coke at McDonalds.

Flat Stanley at the Aquarium

Since we've been chatting about Flat Stanley on our SBS-27 group, I thouht I'd share his adventures. Flat Stanley had a great day at the Aquarium in Baltimore yesterday. He saw the dolphin show, all of the exhibits, and played in with the bubble tubes. He finished the day with a favorite Maryland treat - crabs!

8x8 page about me

One of the current challenges for our SBS-27 group is to create an 8x8 scrapbook page about yourself. Those who choose to participate will send their pages to the coordinator, who will copy the pages and send them to the rest of us. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other girls make. Here's mine:
