Baby card set

 

 

Hello Everyone!  It's been a long time (again). 

 

I picked up a box of the cutest chipboard pieces at Winners yesterday and I couldn't wait to make some cards with them.  Inspiration for the card designs comes from a variety of places, but I especially love Teresa Kline's cards.  She does beautiful work:)

 

 

 

 

The paper I used is from 3 different paper packs, including Baby Cakes from CTMH.

 

Thanks for looking:)

New Idea Book- New Artwork!

Hello, there.  I've got a couple of cards to share with you today!  I know it's been so long, you probably don't remember I even have a blog.  Now that summer's over, maybe I can get going on here again.

Since it's September, we have a new catalogue out that's filled with tons of great new artwork and lots of exciting new products!

Here are two cards made with the Laughing Lola paper pack:

These cards are made using Mojo Monday's Sketch#312: 

I also used:

Cardstock: black, white

Stamps: Frame Flair, Card Chatter-Birthday, and an old birthday set.

Ink: Gypsy, Black

Embellishments: Bitty Sparkles, Zipper Lace, flowers, feather, and lace from my stash.

Finally! I can post again!

Hello, Everyone!  It's so good to be back!

I have been having so much trouble trying to post on this blog.  Every time I would sign in, it just gave me a blank screen when I went to type a new post.

Tonight I had a brainwave (it didn't hurt a bit) to try a different way and went through Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, and what do you know, it works!!!

So, I can finally post again!  I have so much catching up to do I don't even know where to start:)

I think I'll start with the most recent cards I've made:

My son loves green and he loves soccer, so I combined his love into cards for his teacher and his soccer coach.  The soccer ball is from the Game On set from CTMH.  I don't even know where the paper and twine came from- it wasn't mine:)

Thanks for looking and I'm so happy to be back.

By the way, I just wanted to let you know that Close to my Heart is retiring all the E-size stamps sets in the catalogue.  They'll not be available after July anymore.  

So, once again, it's been awhile since I've posted.  I'm sorry.  And, on top of that I seem to like sharing with you paper that's been retired!

I don't know what's going on with me!  Oh-yeah- I do...I like to hoard my new paper until it's retired and then I haul it out and use it!  Not good for sales, but there you have it.

I have two cards to share with you today.  They both use the Cruisin' Paper Pack (which is retired, of course).

These also use burlap string and jute from I don't know where and Round Durable Studs and buttons from CTMH.

I also have a couple more which I may have already shared with you, but here you go:

Same retired paper pack again, twine, stamps and cardboard pieces from CTMH, random jute and button.

Thanks for looking:)

Check this out!

I've been waiting to post this for a long time.

First, let me start off by saying I have an amazing husband.

An amazing husband who has a thing for Volkswagons.  Especially the Bus.  And not just any bus- it has to be a 21-window with a split front window and a roof rack.  Such as this:



He also has  a thing for building and woodworking.

This is what he made for our kids' room:

 

We wanted a set of bunkbeds for this room, but not just any bunkbeds.  These are built into the whole length of the wall.

 

John drew up the plans and set to work.  He bent the pipes for the roof-rack by hand and cut the sides out of sheets of MDF.  The little windows on top are actually mirrors we had laying around.

 

  The center hub is a lid from his favourite pasta sauce.  The wheels are cut from MDF as well.

 

I found the steering wheel at Value Village.  Now the kids can drive their bus to anywhere!  I think it's even been to the moon.  I know it's been camping.

 

After searching high and low for VW drawer-pulls, we settled on these from Home Depot.  I thought they went well with the curves of the bus:)

 

 

Sorry for the lighting of the pictures, I'm still a novice at taking them.

 

Enjoy!  And thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday 282

Once again, it's been too long since I was here last...but today I'd like to share with you two cards for this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

 I've made one for Mother's Day using For Always paper from CTMH.  The rose is from Prima and the ribbon is a random scrap from my stash.  The red sparkle is also CTMH.

For my second card I went with the round version using buttercup yellow cardstock, For Always and Surf's Up paper, the Wonderful Friend Stamp Set and a crochet flower(retired) from CTMH. 

 

Here's the Sketch I followed:

Cute Baby

I just wanted to pop in here with a quick "hello" and a couple of cute, super-easy cards.

So "Hello"  and here you go:)

These cards (I made 8 of them)  took about an hour all together.  The main panels were cut out of one sheet of paper.  The paper is called Baby Steps from Simple Stories.  Isn't it cute?  Lace, burlap string and flower are random stuff I had on hand and the Bitty Sparkles are from CTMH.  No stamping involved!

Have a good weekend!
