Perfect

My set for the month of March was Jolie Fleurs, I've had a lot of fun playing with this set and trying new things. I wanted to create a background stip of paper to match the colors in the photo and to get the feel i wanted for this photo. It's a little dark in this picture, but i love the expressions on everyone face, it was the perfect day (my birthday last year) we were in Hawaii with my family and it was just a great day. I love how well this set lends itself to different feelings based on the images and colors you use. I have a few more samples from this set that I'll share this week.

Have a great day!

Cupcakes

Do you like cupcakes? I love cupcakes! Yummy delicious pink lemonade mini cupcakes...for some reason I don't think they would be as good in a full size cupcake and especially not cake size...what is it about being "tiny" that makes them so apealling! I made these for a baby shower a couple weeks ago - we couldn't say the word "cute" or you lost your pacifier necklace, all you had to do was stand next to the cupcake plate and you were bound to get a few of those necklaces. They were "cute" after all!

It was my birthday last week and this is what I came home to....thanks guys! I love it - especially the cupcakes ballons! I also had club last week and my wonderful friends brought me these wonderful jars full of ribbon. I LOVE ribbon and this was just so thoughtful of them! You ladies ROCK! Thank you!!!! The first image is what we made at club, inside the little white square is a peanut butter cup...yummy! You can't go wrong with peanut buttter and chocolate! hmm - I need to go see if there any any left! The inspiration for this project came from Angie Kennedy Juda's website - Chic n Scratch - the link is to the right.

Have a wonderful St. Patty's Day!

Another Birthday Gift

This is a little gift I made for a friend and neighbor for her birthday last week. I love the ribbon slide from the new hodpodge hardware set from SU...it has some fun stuff in it! I used the So many Scallops and Love and Happiness Rub On from SU sale-a-brations sets and the cake is from the SU Occasions Mini catalog. Colors: SU Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Pumpkin. Have a great weekend!

Easter

This is what I used for my table setting last year at Easter. Inside was filled with jelly beans and on the back is a cute little poem, I can't remember where I found it last year, but it was a big hit with the family!

Couldn't send you Easter Eggs, and candy wouldn't do. Mushy cards just didn't say the things I want them to. So i got you something special and here's the scoop, I found you something very rare, it's genuine Bunny Poop!

one sheet wonder

here is the start of my one sheet wonder. I stamped a few images from Joile Fleurs from Lizzie Anne all over my paper. Then I cut off a strip and colored in part of the image for the Thank You card. Then I embossed with clear ink over the images I stamped and then wiped SU's certainly celery all over my paper to get the green background. I love the effect and the difference between the two cards. I haven't made anything else yet with the paper (except a small journal to match the birthday card), so when I make something else, I'll get that posted. Have a great day!
