Altered Paint Can and Card

Good morning.  My niece was looking for something to put her ribbon scraps in and I had this laying around the house so I decided to alter it for her.  She doesn't craft on a regular basis so this is the perfect size for her.  I surprised her with it today and she loved it!

Thanksgiving Cards

Good morning.  Thanksgiving is next week and I'm not even prepared.  I usually don't send Thanksgiving  cards to anyone but I did make 3.  They went out this morning.  The one on the left went to my parents, the one on the right went to my Aunt and the middle one went to my dear friend whom I haven't seen in about 2 years.  I miss him dearly.

Halloween Classroom Treats

So last week, I made my stepdaughters treats and yesterday I finished my stepson Isaac's classroom treats.  These are so easy to make and so fast to mass produce.  I used a few different pieces of designer paper.  I can't remember the name of the collection but it's from Recollections.   I finished them in a blink of an eye.  I got this idea from youtube.  Her user name is Juliedavisoncom.

Halloween Printers Tray and Baptism Invitations

I made this printer tray for my daughter for her birthday.  I added a photo of her beautiful children and my adorable grandchildren.  This Halloween printers tray kit was free when you signed up as a new deomonstrator with Stampin Up! for the month of August and half of September.  I gave my daughter her gift earlier today and she loved it!  My 2nd project was an order of baptism invitations.  I love the colors I used and my customer loved the final result!!

Betty Boop Birthday Card

My baby girl Vanessa just turned 23 yesterday.  Yes she is still my baby!  When she was little, everyone called her Betty Boop.  Not only because of her LONG eyeslashes but because of her curly hair.  Anyway, I  thought it would be fitting to make this card for her.

Stamp Club Creations

Good morning and Happy Monday.  I can't believe the weekend is over.  I had some fun and some quality girl time at stamp club Saturday.  We made this beautiful card and 3-D project.  Isn't he just the cutest thing?    These projects came from out our stamp club SU demonstrator Sondra Swenson.  I love this card so much and since I'm strapped for time this week and my parents anniversary is this Saturday, I'm going to change the sentiment to an anniversary one.

Birthday Card and Anniversary Card

My sister Trisha's 1 year anniversary is coming up on the 15th and my niece's birthday is tomorrow.  For my niece I made a Halloween Birthday card.  She is nuttso for Halloween.  I think she will absolutely love it!!  For my sister I wanted a soft look so I opted out of using bling (which I love to use on all my cards and projects).  Now I will need to work on an anniversary card for my parents which is the 13th and then I get to have some fun altering 4 coffins for my grandson's teachers.  Such fun!!!

Grunge Rock Birthday Cards

Today is my only son's 18th birthday.  I can't believe how time flies.  It just seems like yesterday when he was born.  We celebrated by having a barbecue of spare ribs, hot links and boneless chicken accompanied by some spanish rice, black bean and corn salad, homemade salsa and are you ready for this.......some homemade flour tortillas which his nana made him (my mom).  We will continue with dessert a little later when we have digested everything.  My son Pablo can't wait for White cake, whip cream and strawberries.  Yummy!!!!  I made these birthday cards for him.  The left one is from me and the right one will be from my mom.

Cancer Free Anniversary Card

It's Saturday night and I was only able to create one card today.  But......it's a card that I am really happy with.  I made this for my mom.  I moved on September 1st this month and with the commotion of moving it completely escaped me that her anniversary of being cancer free was the same day.  I realized I had let all this time go about a few days ago.  I am so glad I made the time to make her this card in honor of that special milestone.  It is also in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness next month.  I will give it to her tomorrow.  I can't wait to see what she thinks of her card!!

Black and White Vintage Wedding Invitation

Hi everyone.  In the midst of finishing up birthday party invitations, I also had to get a sample wedding invitation done for someone.  I wasn't crazy about the font of the alpha stamps.  They looked so nice and vintage when I bought them but I don't like the look of them.  My customer loved the invitation!!  She requested a different font like I knew she would.  She also forgot to tell me she changed the colors of her wedding to beige and white.  So they will look different and have some cream colored lace inside instead.  I don't want to show the inside because of the personal information in it, but I heat embossed the design with silver embossing powder.

Sock Monkey Birthday Party Invitation

I got a custom order of 50 sock monkey birthday party invitations.  I will meet up with the couple today to show them the sample invitation.  I already text them the pictures of the outside and inside tag and they absolutely love the invitation!!  I'm so glad!  I won't show the inside tag because of all the info on it, but it has  a picture of their daughter that I punched out with a circle punch and then adhered that on to a scallop circle punch (Daffodil Delight).
