Easter Week.......

Hello everyone. Welcome to day two of Easter Week. Kel and I really tried to make each card different.  It was not easy, but I think we accomplished it.  Stay tuned all week and let us know what you think.

The recipe of our card was:

The little girl is from A Child's Year, page 33. we flipped her to face to the right, and cut her at 3.25"  

The eggs, and butterflies are from Doodle Charms, pg 89

The punch is from Fiskars and the papers are from our stashed and of course inked up (we have an inking problem, lol).

The sentiment is from Inkadoo.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Birthday Take 2.......

Lots of birthday's this month.  I made this card for my friend at work.  Let me tell you, this came together so quickly for me.

My Minds Eye, Lost and Found Stack, 6x6 for ALL the patterned paper!!  Kraft paper for the base and Hodgepodge Hardware from StampinUP! and of course Fiskar's Border punch.

I am so pleased with the outcome and I know she will too.

Have a wonderful weekend.

50th Male Birthday Card

Over the weekend, Dawn had a 50th birthday party for her hubby and Kel and went with our hubbies.   We had a great time, eating and talking and just relaxing!!

I made this card for Dawn's hubby, he has been fishing a lot this year, so I thought this was appropriate.
My recipe:

Child's Year Cartridge - Page 38, the little fishing guy with the pole, cut at 2 1/2" and shadowed.
Fiskar's Wave Border punch - used three different blues from my stash for the waves
Life's a Beach Cartridge - page 58
Cricut Keystone 1.50" for the number 50
Kraft paper

I hope he liked the card!!

Beach Fun.......and a thank you!

 
Hello everyone.  Sorry we have been MIA. End of the year stuff is killing us.  Kel's youngest just graduated High School, yay Amanda!!  Dawn and I still have kids in school until Wednesday.  So we are busy trying to get everything done.

This past weekend Kel and I were lucky enough to get away to Cape Cod for the weekend.  My cousin has a cute little cottage and she let us (and my sister and my cousin) use it for free for the weekend!!  We had such an awesome relaxing weekend.  Just what we all needed.

Before I left I made my cousin a thank you card.

What I used:

DCWV Tahiti Beach Stack for the base of the card and for the word patterned paper
Fiskars wave punch
Life's a Beach Cartridge - chair cute at 2.5
Re'collections paper sanded down
My Creative Time Teeny Tags (Thank you)
StampinUP!  Hodgepode for the little paper clip
StampinUP! Magic Mesh (my last piece, so sad)

I have to say I was quite please with the outcome.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!!!

Act of kindness

Wow wee! In my work we have a lot of lunch business meetings. I am in charge of ordering the lunches. Well we order a lot from Panera Bread (great food).  We always deal with the manager Susan, she is an older Irish woman, straight from Ireland with the brogue!  She is such a super sweet lady and so great to work with. As a thank you for always ordering from her, she came to our work yesterday and gave all the Executive Assistants flowers for Administrative Day. I thought that was so sweet of her. I wanted to show my appreciation by making her a homemade card.

I used an old, old DCWV stack for the pink patterned paper, the pink card stock is coordin'ations. The flower is from a stamp I bought in the dollar bin at Michaels. I used Pink Stampin UP! embossing powder to make the flower pop, of course my favorite pearl pen for the pearls on the bottom and my super favorite crinkly ribbon and a fiskar's border punch.

I hope everyone has a great, great weekend and gets some crafting in!
