What to use!

Well, I tried 3 different types of adhesive on the accordion flower I made the other day and after a few hours the flower would come apart. How frustrating. So I decided to make this flower with the scallop punch I have seen. I have wanted to try it for a long time...so here is the new card!

For the workshop I want to demonstrate how you can use the color scheme in the designer paper SU! sells even if you don't have the paper. Here is a card I made with the same colors but used just cardstock and stamps. 

Every once in a while it's nice to have the colors already picked! ;)

Accordion Flower Card

Here is one of the cards we are making on Saturday for Betsy's party. I saw the idea for the flower in the SAB catalog and thought it was cute.  So I changed the colors and used this cute new raspberry tart DSP from the new catalog!

Graduation Announcement

Valentine

I changed the valentine card I made for Taylor's party a bit and the young women made them for the widows that go to our church. 

It was a fun and easy card to make. ;)

Layouts from Retreat!

I need to get used to this camera and the lighting and focus so bear with me. These didn't turn out the way I want them to but I will keep trying! 

Now I just need to finish the pages with the journaling! :) Why does that take so long again?

This layout says MUMS and is a Texas High School thing. The girls each had a mum made for them and they wore them to the first high school football game we went to here!

I love these pictures of Audrey. I think they are so fun. They really capture her personality.

Hallie is all girlie girl and these pictures prove it!

This is may favorite layout. I LOVE the pictures and that it's Julia's first laytou. I love the black, white and pink...and the touch of baja breeze!

Thanks for lookin'!

Thank Goodness

Well, Zeb got me a camera for Christmas!!! I have been going crazy without a camera for the last 2 months. So thanks babe!
I have a bunch of projects to post I just need to remember to post them!

This is the Valentine's Day Card I finished for the make and take for Taylor's party on Saturday. I used the stamp set in the mini catalog, "A Happy Heart."

I love the combo of the teal with the pinks (regal rose and pink pirouette).

No camera!

I am sad to say that although I have TONS of projects to post from the last month (especially with retreat last weekend), I have no camera. Our camera is totally fried. :(

Sorry friends, I don't know when I will get a camera. Why do things have to cost money again?

Name Frame

I helped a friend make this for her sister-in-law. She is having her first boy and Minda wanted to make her a name frame. It was so quick and easy to put together!

Please excuse my reflection in the glass of the picture. Oops! ;)

Halloween Workshop

This past week was the Halloween workshop and I wanted to post the projects! She wanted Halloween, boy, and birthday themes!

I made this trick or treat bucket for Kirsten's hostess gift. She can use it for decoration or for her son Teancum to use trick or treating. I was so excited with the finished product that it was hard to give away! ;)


Here is on of the make and takes, a small bag of Halloween goodies. This project was SO EASY!
The spider and words are embossed. The idea came in the most recent issue of Stampin' Success. How fun!

This is a card I made Audrey's for birthday that I embossed as well.
I adapted the card for the second make and take. It is hard to see the embossing in the picture. I had so much fun making the Halloween projects. It is so fun having a kids' birthday so close to Halloween!

Paper Bag Mini Album

This mini album is so fun and easy to do. I am excited with the way it turned out.

I got a Christmas card last year from a friend and it inspired this project. I turned it into a mini album. The front of the card I changed a bit but man hers is cute too. Thanks for the idea Brooke!

Holiday Layout

This holiday layout is for retreat! I can't believe how close it is!!!
