Vintage Rose Birthday Card

Where have I been? I'll spare you the details...let's just say my life has been as crazy as usual.! ;)

I created this card for my mother for her birthday and I was really happy with how it turned out. It's so what I am into right now and it has a nice vintage feel to it. I will hopefully be posting a tutorial in the near future showing how to make those flowers...they are so pretty and easy to make too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Wreath

Hello all!

After having our basement flooded back in November, we are finally back to normal! I have been without all of my crafting supplies since then and let me tell you...it was killing me! It made me to sad to even come to my blog! We had to have our entire basement packed up and completely gutted and renovated. It was quite the job but luckily insurance covered the whole thing and now I have a nice new rec room, scrap studio and laundry room!

I still haven't gotten my scrap area set up completely as I am re-organizing EVERYTHING!! So it might be a while before I get back to creating and posting like I'd like to but yesterday was a snow day here in Ontario and the girls and I decided our door needed some sprucing up. My front door always looks so bare when the Christmas wreath comes down so we decided to make a winter one to replace it! I am really happy with how it turned out. My girls (Emalyn 7 and Grace 3) helped by sponge daubing the CTMH chipboard snow flakes and stars in Petal and Sky. We then added some prisma glitter and hot glued them to a spare wreath I had kicking around. Some ribbon and Pearls were the finishing touch to what I think is a very successful craft project on a dreary snow day!

Thanks for checkin' in! Leave me a note to let me know you've stopped by and that I still have an audience to post for!

Pure Magic!!!

So I got my box of new CTMH goodies yesterday and was so excited to look through the newest how to book in the CTMH collection and all I have to say is WOW!! I love it! Everyone needs to check this book out. I am so inspired by all of the fresh, fun ideas and the DVD has great videos to help visualize the interactive elements in the books layouts as well as tons of printable templates to help complete them. I can't wait to get into my studio today and play!

If you are interested in purchasing this book click on the image above to go direct or click on the shopping cart in my sidebar.

I am off to go play!! Have a great saturday!

Baby Boy Card

Okay...two posts in less than 24 hours! I am on a roll! :)

Anyways, here is a card that I made for some friends who just had a baby. I was really happy with how this one turned out. I made a little pocket to slide a gift card into and even finished the backside of the card. I love these colours and it was a real treat doing something boyish for a change!!

Thanks for looking!

Anyone still there??

Okay...I am still tweaking the blog but I am pretty happy with how it looks. I have a few more pages to finish up and it will be finished. In the meantime I have picked up a temporary full time job until the end of September so my blogging time might be stretched a little thin but I'll try to keep some posts coming your way. I have a couple of baby cards I've made the last week or so and a couple of projects on the go. So I will have some things to share with you really soon!

Thanks for sticking with me...if you are still here that is! :)
