Makayla's Birthday Card

The creation bug has hit me this weekend. I am really blessed to get this weekend to just do my crafts. It was a rainy Saturday so Faith's soccer game was cancelled. So I have had two solid days of crafting. I am loving it!!!!!

Faith's friend Makayla is turning 9 on the 19th of April so I created this card for her because she is really into skull and crossbones right now.

Mardi Party Card

Megan's Mardi Gras Party Card for her 23rd birthday.

I was playing around with my new Cricut Cartidges last night and made this card. I was at a standstill this morning thinking that this really needed something else when my friend Brenda came over and said every Mardi Gras Mask needs feathers. And as luck would have it I happened to have Feathers.

What do you think?

I used the following:

Basic Black Cardstock Stampin Up!
Whisper White Craft Ink Stampin Up!
Full of Life Stampin Up! Stamp Set
Storybook Cricut Cartridge for the design on the face
Storybook Cricut Cartridge for the shape of the card
Martha Stewart Glitter Glue
Martha Stewart Garnet Glitter *my favorite*
Diamond Dimensionals I picked up at Michaels.

Simple Happy Birthday

Here is card two from a Sleep deprived girl. I like how simple and clean this one turned out.

I used the following:

Chocolate Chip Card Stock

Very Versitale Stamp Set "Happy Birthday"

Ski Slope designer series paper

New Sizzix embossing plates.

Using the left overs

We were up all night with poor little Faith... Note to self no more pineapple for her. But it seems that when I am sleep deprived I am a crafting machine.



I decided to do a card using some of the leftovers from the bag book that I did "life's a beach".



This stamp set is from Angel Stamp Company one of the new vendors I have stumbled onto. I like some of the things that they sell. I am still a Stampin Up! girl at heart. There is no better ink and paper than Stampin Up! and I am beside myself waiting for the new digital scrapbooking software to come out.



Here is my "Work it Girl" card.

Finally finished the Proto Type for this month's swap

So I finally finished!!!!! The prototype that is. I made a few errors on this so when I do the other three I will try and fix them. This is the paper bag scrapbook. It has only taken me three weeks to decide how I was going to finish it. The swap was a 6x6 scrapbook page. So I decided to do this whole album instead.

I used the following supplies:

Bold Bright 8.5x11 paper

Just Beachy Set

Crab and Company Stamp Set

Antique Grommets

Corresponding ink with the bold bright paper

Just Beachy Roller

I love this paper bag album. It is so easy to do and super cute.

We are making some really great memories here and I wouldn't have missed this opportunity for the world.

The last picture is of my dad and daughter and the discussion Probabilities. It is amazing to see her have a real discussion with my dad. A discussion A discussion. I can't believe what a little person she is. Her own person. She sure is growing up fast. The reason it is so amazing for me to see her have a discussion with my dad is because he is probably the smartest person that I know and to see her holding her own in a conversation was so fascinating.
