Happy Birthday!

I have to start off by apologizing for this picture... It's pretty bad. In my defense, my 18 month old bumped into me right as I took the picture, and then of course my camera battery died! But, this was the only picture I snapped of this birthday card before I gave it to one of my oldest, closest friends! I am so happy I got to celebrate her birthday with her! Not to mention it turned into a much needed date night for my hubby and I! I have to mention that I a was so excited to finally use my new "ek" punch!

Where has the time gone?

That's something I have been asking myself lately. The month of May was so busy for our family. Between soccer games and birthday parties every Saturday and practices between soccer and t-ball all week, and of course graduations! The month of May has gone by so fast! Things have finally slowed down and I am very thankful:) I am so excited to be back in my craftroom creating again! I was able to put together something tonight for Emma's www.creativetimeforme.com "Scrappy Layout Monday" challenge. I am so happy that she is having scrapbook challenges because I am soooo behind(years)!! So thank you Emma!! I love doing her challenges!<3 The challenge asked for only "one" picture and to use buttons! I have decided to make a 8x8 album for my husband and I and here is a page that I will be adding to it..I hope you enjoy and have a great week!

Mother's Day Month

I know we are almost in June and I usually associate June with Father's day, my husband's birthday and the official summer kick off! But, we are still in May and May is for Mother's Day and, graduations/end of a school year, and getting ready for summer. I loove Mother's Day. I think moms have the hardest and most rewarding job of all. So I am so glad I got to make and send out Mother's Day cards! I liked how they turned out and, like all my others, they are very simple.

I used 4x4 cardbase cardstock from Michael's layered paper from Michael's and Target inked edges with ink from target and a sponge "Happy Mother's Day" Poly Clear, clear stamp from Michael's Hope you enjoy! <3 Deanne

NSD Challenge!

Can you believe I didn't participate in NSD Challenges until the day after...I thought it was Sunday not Saturday:/ Better late than never?:) Over at www.mypinkstamper.com Robyn had several design team members with challenges for NSD. Carissa at http://www.sprinkledwithglitter.com challenged everyone to make something using embossing. I decided to emboss the words on the front of the card, "We are so proud of you" and the little diploma stamp on the top left. Hope you like it- Happy National Scrapbook Day!:) Rebecca

My Pinkalicious Challenge!

Just finished creating a card for Robyn's Pinkalicious Challenge for April. My Cricut Imagine is having problems tonight so I decided to go machine free! The challenge was anything Mother's Day! So glad I was able to get one card made early. I used several different sets of stamps and did use My Pink Stampers " I love you" stamp, which went perfect with this card:)

Better late than never?

I think I have 1 hour to post this on mypinkstamper.com! I have been meaning to make a Happy Birthday card all week long for this challenge and I finally got around to it, an hour before the dead line to post! I'm so glad I made it though:)

Big Sister T-shirt

I wanted to jump on this morning and show you a picture of a super cute little t-shirt I made for my niece over the weekend! My brother and his girlfriend are on baby #2 and wanted to tell grandma and grandpa the news in a fun and cute way. I grabbed a little t-shirt from Hobby Lobby and used some left over Zebra print material and Heat n Bond material I had from a previous project. I used my Gypsy to design the word "big sister" and cut it out using my Cricut Expression. I also used buttons that I had bought from Walmart and put it all together! I should have snapped a picture of my niece in it, she looked so cute! Grandma and Grandpa didn't catch on until my brother asked them to read the shirt, but it was still pretty priceless:) This weekend my son starts his soccer games and I have decided to make a shirt for myself and my daughter, I will post pictures of that project in the next couple of days.
Have a great Monday!
