For a cute little girl

I made this for my friends daughters first birthday party a while ago. 

I thought it would be something fun to share.

I started off with paper mache letters from Joann's and spray painted them a light pink.
I then decorated each letter with buttons, flowers and paper
flourishes. I trimmed the outside of the letter in the same bright pink ribbon that I
used to hang them with.

Here's a close of the A.


Have a great weekend everyone! Next week I will have a birthday card
for my bestie's husband who turns 30 this weekend!!

Good news and a card!

I haven't posted in a while because I've been crazy busy getting 

everything squared away for the start of a new job, I'm very nervous as I have

been with the same company for 12 years (most of my working life). This new journey is going to be

fun (I'll be working with my best friend again) but very scary to think I will no longer go somewhere

I have considered my second home quite a while now.

On to the fun stuff!!! I have still had a little bit of time to create, mostly thank you cards to people

I have worked with over the years.

I created a very simple, yet elegant card for one of my previous bosses.

The Stamps are all Jaded Blossom, I just love that tree! It's hard to see but I added a few stickles

to the tree for a lil sparkle. The paper is from my scraps and the ribbon was in a Teresa Collins kit I had.

Hope you like, have a great day!

Ombré Flower card

Happy Monday everyone! Here's a card I made using my cameo and different shades of purple scraps of card stock I had laying around. I used PBD stamp set simply everything, some buttons from my stash and a lil bit of grape fizz trendy twine!

Hope everyone has a great week! I'll be crafting all week, so I'll try to post more, :)

Went to the scrapbook expo with my friend Kathy today! We had a wonderful day in a workshop and doing lots of shopping and make-n-takes. :) I'm planning on attempted a haul video tomorrow...

Birthday card and trying out my copics

Hey everyone!!

I've been wanting copics forever but couldn't bring myself to actually buy them. They are just so expensive!! Luckily I have some pretty great friends who got me a wonderful gift card to amazon for my birthday and with that money I could begin my copic collection. I ended up getting the ciao set A colors. I've been nervous to try them out and this is my first tiny attempt.

I made the birthday card with a cool chevron die that I got from scrapbuck.com. I used the dotty for you paper pack from CTMH. I love how the colors and patterns coordinate together. All the stamps used are from Jaded Blossom

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!
