Pucker UP!

These are a couple plates I made for my pot shelf in my kitchen. I have a citrus theme going and when I saw these brightly colored plates at the Dollar Tree I knew I wanted to add some vinyl to them. I used Just Because Cards and cut the pucker up at 2.75 and the lemons at 2. When I first stuck the lemons on they got lost in the orange so I cut them again in white and then stuck the yellow over that and pieced on the green stem.

 For this one I cut the when life gives you lemons... at 4-1/4 and these lemons at 1-1/2. And again with the word "lemons..." I had to cut it twice once on white and once on yellow and layer it so it would pop more. I got lazy with the lemons here and only cut them out of yellow vinyl. Thanks for stopping by today!

I met Lisa Bearnson

Look who I met while I was in St. George over the weekend... none other then Lisa Bearnson in person! I was totally star struck and couldn't hardly think about anything else for at least an hour after that. This was just as we were going into TJ Maxx, she was coming out, I thought that it sounded a lot like her and then when I looked at her I almost didn't say anything at all but then I was like "hey are you Lisa?" and she said "yes I am!" it was so CRAZY!!!

Here Comes The Bride

 These were pretty easy to make up, my sister needed one for a shower she was going to so this is what I came up with. The bride was cut from Sweethearts at 3.25 and the die cut is from Elegant Edges cut at 4.40 on my gypsy. Paper is from the Lemon Flower stack by DCWV and the sentiment comes from Pink By Design. Have a great day!

Congratulations with Paper Smooches- Blue

 So here is a blue version of the congratulations cards I made. You can see that post HERE. I used Close To My Heart inks in Chocolate, Heavenly Blue and Bamboo. Stamps are Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler and Smarty Pants.

cute "congratulations" with Paper Smoches

 I love Kim Hughes stamps from Paper Smooches. They are just way to cute and the fonts are awesome. She has done such a great job designing these. For this card I used the Sentiment Sampler and Smarty Pants
The inks are from Close To My Heart. I just used some different colors and stamped repetitively with the ink. I added a cute cap and then some ribbon attached with a staple. on the inside of the card I used a coordinating color of cardstock and embossed it with the swirls folder and adhered it. I found this card design from Pinterest HERE

orange/green/blue thank yous

 Here are some quick cards I put together a few weeks ago. The scalloped circle is from Mini Monograms cut at 1-1/2 and the circle is cut at 1 inch. Stamp is from Sensational Seals, its an old Close To My Heart set. I added some Honeydew twine from The Twinery and an orange button to finish it off.

Owl baby blanket

I was able to go to Las Vegas last Monday and meet up with my sister while my car was being worked on and spend the day shopping :) what's more fun than that?! Anyway she mentioned that a coworker of hers was having a little girl and she wanted to do something for her so while we were in Hobby Lobby we found this material. My sister had said that the girl was doing an owl themed baby room and this went perfect. She bought the material and I brought it home with me, tied it and finished the edge and took it back to her on Thursday as we were heading up to Utah. I am so grateful I know how to do these things, my mother taught me well! I was also grateful that I was able to help my sister out and I'm glad I don't live to far away from her so we can get together even just for the day.

Also you only have 3 days left to take advantage of the STAMPAGANZA from Close To My Heart... buy 2 stamp sets get 1 stamp set free, ends June 30. Click HERE to go shopping!

Dry Erase Menu Board

I haven't been doing a whole lot of card making lately but I did manage to make this fun dry erase menu board a few weeks ago. We are doing a whole lesson on menu planning for a church activity and I thought this would go along with it really well. I just picked up an inexpensive frame from the dollar store and went through my scrapbook paper to find a print I liked then I printed the weekdays on it and voila it's was ready to be hung up in the kitchen :)

baby girl diaper cake

 Here is the girl cake I did. I had a double shower to go to so I made this up for the mom who had the little girl. 10 diapers on top and 40 on the bottom tier. I tied some Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery around it and finished it off with the cute toys on top!
