Happy 1st Birthday

Happy Sunday!



I used this week's retrosketch in making a birthday card for my niece.



The paper is from the new Maggie Holmes Crate Paper collection.

Thanks for coming by!

With All My Heart

So when I shared my card yesterday, I had also made this card at the same time. You'll notice that I used the same papers....and that this card has two smaller hearts cut out of the bigger. It was not on purpose, I decided to use smaller hearts so I die cut again, but I die cut them perfectly centered and just knew I had to use these on a card!



The sentiment is from PTI's With All My Heart and I added a bunch of enamel dots. The paper is Fourteen by Crate Paper.

Hope you have a great week!

Happy Valentine's Day

Crafting time is scarce! But I was able to make a few cards today. This one is for the newest RetroSketch



I used some patterned papers from Crate Paper's Fourteen. The sentiment comes from Happy Day (PTI) and the Impression Plate is also PTI.



Thanks for taking a look!

So sorry for your loss

This was a very quick card...it helps when you start with such gorgeous patterned paper! The card base is Harvest Gold, the paper is from Restoration by Crate Paper, the other cardstock is Simply Chartreuse cut with pinking shears and Ocean Tides the ribbon is 1/8 in silk ribbon and the sentiment comes from Blooming Button Bits.

I've got two sick kids home with me today...off I go!

Pretty in Pink

I've been on a scrapbooking kick lately! Here's a page I created of my little cutie, using lots of Papertrey Ink product, some gorgeous Crate Paper, and flowers!

I love banners and finally made a card using the stamp set "It's a celebration" from PTI. I would love a set with some larger banners as well.

Back to school!

My kids had their first day at preschool this morning! We are all excited (maybe I was the most excited??). This is Colin's last year in preschool and Kennedy's first!

I made a card based off the latest Card Patterns Sketch .



I used the Kim Hughes set "Spring Trees" and some Crate Paper and Basic Grey. This was a fun sketch to work with! I'm going to send this card in for the "Cards for Kate" drive that I learned about through Jennifer McGuire's blog . Hopefully I can make some more for her whole family.



Have a great day!
