Baby Polka Dots

Along with the theme of baby I made one pink and one blue card. They can be for a baby or for any occasion, just change up the sentiment. I got this design from my favorite stamper, she got me hooked, Jillian Winters, absolutely love love love her work, she's an awesome stamper and just a great friend all together. Enjoy!!!

A Dozen & One Roses

So today I let in my roommates boyfriend into our house to bring her a surprise. He is such a sweet heart he brought her a dozen and one roses, I'm not sure why the extra rose but I'm sure it had some significant reason in their relationship if not a romantic reason. I figured I would make a card to go with the idea behind the roses (using Pocket Silhouette) and I also took a picture of the roses.




Enjoy and have a great day!!!

A New Baby!!!

One of my cousins just had a baby girl on the 3rd so I decided to make a baby card. I made one for a boy and one for a girl, I could also make a green one and a yellow one as a unisex, incase it's for a baby shower and the mom doesn't want to know the baby's sex. Enjoy!!

Congrats Debbie and Jeremy on the new addition to the family!!!



The paper is DCWV Nana's Nursery baby boy and baby girl and the stamp is "A New Baby" by Stampendous! I used the MOJO47 template from Julee's blog.

SU Upsy Daisy Birthday

It has been quite a while, my last post was a few days before school started. Quite a while ago, but here I am with a Birthday card that I made for my mom, which is October 5th this Sunday so I thought I would make her something with the new SU Upsy Daisy Set. I tried to cards before deciding the second one was the one.

Here is the first, very simple.


Here is the second one. At first I thought it needed a little something else so her it is before I added more detail.



And here it is after adding some Spica clear glitter to the Daisy's, really lifts it up (can't really see with the picture but it pops now) ;-)





And lets not forget the matching envelope!!


What do you think?? I hope to do some more posts, I've been overwhelmed with readings and I'm almost caught up so hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some time for stampin, since I have a lot of b-days coming up at the end of the month and Halloween and before we know it is Christmas...EKK!!!! Hopefully I start my Christmas cards now and don't do them last minute, my worst fear is not getting them out, knock on wood. See ya later

My Stamping Zone/Storage

Here is a look at my stamping zone and how I store all my goods.

These storage cubes are from Michael's, they contain my paper, ink, punches, embossing folders, embossing glitter, flock, martha glitter, stickles and a lot more. The pink boxes underneath the craft disk are the Martha Stewart craft boxes from Michael's and they contain most my finished cards.

These 12x12 plastic drawers were purchase at Joann's and they contain all of my stamps, which I try to keep organized by theme, but we all know once we get to stamping everything becomes a mess.

This smaller plastic drawer container contains all of my copics, marvy markers, prisma colored pencils and my gel roll Sakura pens. I purchased it at Big Lots, I thought I got a really good deal on it, it was on $3.

A lot of crafters have done this and I thought it was a great idea so I went to Ikea and purchased a towel rack and placed some of my punches on it. Great storage idea!! My ribbon is on a dowel and I believe is a towel hanger, it a "C" shaped wall mount which is the right size for the ribbon, purchased at Home Depot.

This shelf is also from Ikea, and I thought is was just perfect for my jars of flowers.

This idea I got from Jillian Winters, another great storage idea! Empty CD cases with my nestabilities and my clear stamps in them.

The table part of my craft desk was again a purchase from Ikea, $7 for a piece of white wood that amazingly fit just perfectly with my storage cubes, I was so excited, I didn't have to do any cutting to make it fit just right. And of coarse I have covered it with scratch paper so that I don't stamp all over it.

And lastly a colored picture of my craft zone.

Enjoy and fill free to leave me your comments and have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!!!

Its been a while

Feels like forever since I last made a card, but I'm back in the game. I was taking summer school out of town so I was at my parents house for more than 6 weeks and I moved from apartment to apartment so my room isn't quite set up yet but I had to get started on my card making. My birthday was on July 27th so I had to make some thank you cards, this strawberry basket being one of them. I saw this card on a blog called Outside The Lines by Linsey Rickett and I had to make it for my neighbor who knows that I absolutely love love love strawberry's and all summer long she brought my family and I strawberry's and then on my birthday she brought me some more even though they were already starting the be out of season but they were still delicious, so i thought this card would be appropriate for thanking her for her sweet gift. Enjoy, and there will be more to come.

Final Father's Day Card

I got the My Hero Stamp Set from Treehouse Stamps right on time and I was able to make this adorable card for my dad for father's day. It was so me and my dad when I was younger, well until he couldn't lift his feet anymore with me on them lol, I loved dancing on his feet. My dad and I love love love to dance, when my mom is not up to it I like to grab my dad to dance, we have lots of fun. I think it was the perfect card for him, I think he really liked it!! Enjoy!!

Graduation Cards

I used A Muse Grad Cap and Grad Scroll. The letters are Your Not My Boss Cuttlebug Diecut Letters. These cards were very simple you can change up the colors to make it match the graduates school colors. There will be more to come. The saying from the card below I believe is an SU stamp but I typed it into the computer and printed it out for I don't own the stamp and I think its a very inspirational quote. Enjoy!!



These two are money card.
