First 2012 Post

Wow - it's been a YEAR since I posted last. What the heck. It's been a busy year apparently! I've been crafting but just not taking pictures and uploading. Well, here are two for a Clean&Simple sketch:

For miss Amy's birthday!

For Granny's birthday!
 
Maybe  a 2013 resolution should be to post here more....

Thank You's

I can't believe I didn't make ONE Christmas card this year! I was seriously too busy. I was sick before Thanksgiving, then I was on vacation, then I had shopping, wrapping, parties...oh my!

So I had to make sure I did my thank you cards and I used a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. Here's the sketch:

And here are some cards (I sealed most of them before taking a picture - oops!)

Here is my card:

Birthday Challenge

So I didn't enter my card for this challenge as it is from a few months ago but I definitely used the sketch for my boss's birthday card. Here is the sketch from Taylored Expressions:


Here is my card:


 I also found a tutorial on how to make paper boxes and made one!
Isn't it adorable? And so easy - I'm definitely going to be making a lot of these. *Tip: For boxes to fit together - start with squares that are 1/2 inch different (for example, a 6 inch square and a 5.5 inch square will fit perfectly).

FTL 165 - Veteran's Day Card

So this is another big milestone...my first time entering a card! For this maiden voyage I've created a card using Clean & Simple Stamping's Fall to Layout #165:


This Friday is Veteran's Day so I decided to make my dad a card since he was in the Air Force for many years. The sentiment is embossed in white (my new favorite technique!).


Here's the inside as well:


I don't think I'll have too much time to enter challenges but I will try to as much as possible!

Boyfriend's Birthday!

Sometimes it's harder for me to make cards for those closest to me. My boyfriend of 8.5 years, for example. I think I made about 3 different cards before being satisfied. This is what I came up with:


It's another Z card version but I added a little twist with buttons and twine :) Here is what it looks like closed.

And this is it opened. I don't know if you can tell but the card stock on the bottom is purple. Go dawgs :)

A Sympathy Card

A friend at work lost her mom last week after a long battle with cancer. I made this sympathy card for her:


This is the inside of the card - gotta add a little flair in there!
