Happy Birthday!

Ever have one of those days where you start a project and it takes a lot longer than originally thought? This one was one of those. I like it, don't get me wrong but it took way longer to do than I thought it would. Maybe it's my cold or maybe the cold weather outside, but I am happy to have it done, finally!

Idea from Pinterest and the papersmooches.blogspot.com

Sympathy & Thinking of you cards

Sadly we had some deaths in our family and friends . So I worked on some cards today to mail out .

During making these cards I started thinking about long distance friends and family. That's the thinking of you card.

Stampin' Up Sheltering Tree stamp set, Paper Smooches stamps, stamp in' Up stamps, Cuddle bug embossing folders, and rhinestones were used.
Hope you have a good day!

Go to your Happy Place

Everyone should have a "Happy Place"!

This stamp set is from Paper Smooches. I love it! I finally made more than one card at a time tonight. I've seen so many say that if you take the time to cut stuff for one, you should cut more at the same time and have extras to keep on hand. 

This time, for some crazy reason, after I embossed the background paper I ran it though again to flatten it. Causing it to flatten the some of the embossing! Totally a "duhhhh" moment on my part. But only I can tell! Have you ever had any moments like that while crafting???

Have a great day!

Graduation Stuff Started!

I started working on a few table decorations for my daughter's upcoming graduation. While it's still in rough stages, I hope to get a finished one soon. Not sure what to put in the first vase, anyone have any ideas? It would have to be sturdy enough to hold the pics up. I wanted to go all out, but my daughter reigned me in and said "Nothing fancy Mom" LOL 

It was made with a combination of Stampin Up! stamps, Paper Smooches Stamps, Ribbon, and vases from Dollar Tree. (the paper shreds in the first pic were made with special scissors from Stampin Up! too)

2nd Graduation Card

I can't tell you how much I love my Paper Smooches stamp sets. They are so fun and this card features my new set Smarty Pants.

Graduation Time!

Took me longer than I wanted, but two cards done...eight more to go!

Quick gift for a special neighbor

We had a neighbor that was having a surprise birthday today. So what better way to celebrate than to give extra bling and chocolate!

Paper Smooches Stamps & Cuddlebug

I fell in love with Paper Smooches rubber stamps last spring and with the use of my Cuddlebug created this cute card.
