Indiana Jones Birthday Card

I made this card for my daugther to take to a birthday party for one of her Kindergarten friends. The theme of the party was Indiana Jones. This is lifted from a post made by Hollywood77 on the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge Exploration Forum.

Flower Pot Card

I like this card because it's pretty and generic. You could stamp "Happy Birthday", "Happy Mother's Day", "Thank You" or any other fitting saying.

Welcome Baby Cards

I've been wanting to use this stamp for quite some time. I've played with it a couple of times and never got it to look good, until now. I stamped it in blue and then in brown, cut out the middle part of the brown, punched the blue one out and used a Stampin' Dimensional to pop it out. I used the side of an exacto knife to "rough" up the sides of the paper stamped with the Canvas stamp.

Same idea for this one but I wanted to use up some cute little clothespin stickers I had.

Pocket Baby Shower Invitation

This time of year reminds me so much of baby showers. I happen to currently have invitations to two upcoming ones and I can't wait. I love everything about baby showers. The decorations, the games. I've hosted three baby showers but this is the first invitation I ever made. The shower didn't have a theme and the mom-to-be liked purple. The tag pulls out and has all the shower information on it. I added color to the baby buggy and booties using chalks. I printed the quote and shower information on my inkjet.

Guy Birthday Card

It's seems that every time I want to make cards the first thing I think of is pink balloons and flowers. What I REALLY need most of the time, however, is a birthday card for all the guys in my family. My husband, my father, my brother-in-law. I'm pretty sure the inspiration for this card came from a Stampin' Up catalog, though I couldn't tell you which one. Just wanted to give you a little reminder to make those guys cards also!

The Family

Our family, in 2006. I'm quite a bit behind on scrapping (isn't everyone?). My sister-in-law, who lives an hour away, was gracious enough to drive out and meet us at the park to take some long overdue family pictures. I just love the paper for this layout (Colorbok "Woodhaven"). It's perfect for family pictures.


My favorites were the unplanned candid shots.
