I've been on a card making kick. I loved the cupcake birthday card I made with a friend last night, so I had to make on of my own to add to my collection.
Each month at stamp club we do an exchange. We are supposed to make something with the supplies we order the previous month. I am in love with the new set, so I've had fun creating with it. I took my original idea and tweaked it a bit.
Tonight my friend Rebecca came over with her husband and son. Once my little one went to bed, the big boys were playing video games, then it was "girl time." We decided to stamp. She came to my Stampin' Up party a few months ago and wanted to get better at using her products. For Christmas she made her family calendars that included all birthdays. Her goal is to send birthday cards to all the people on her calendar. Also, her sister just had a baby and she wanted to send her a card. So, our goal was to create a baby card and some birthday cards. I really liked the end result!
Baby card. The baby's nursery is done in Noah's Arc theme, so we wanted animals in twos on the card. The inside has some animals in it too!
I am particularly proud of this card. I have such a hard time with masculine cards, but with this one, I think I hit the nail on the head :D
I LOVE this card. The greeting on the inside says, "celebrate one cupcake at a time." It took a long time to color all the cupcakes, but it was well worth the effort!
Today I got the "With All My Heart" stamp set from Stampin' Up, so I had to give it a try. I'm not really good with "girly" but I gave it my best shot. The card needs something..., but I like it still. I used very vanilla, rose red, pretty in pink, and chocolate chip paper. I just love how easy it is to combine SU products!
I made this coat hanger board because I was getting sick of looking all over the house for my purse. Now it has a place to hang!
I started with a random 1x10 that I had leftover from a different project. I spray painted it flat black (I wish it had been satin, but I was using materials I already had on hand). Then I attached the hooks that I bought a couple of years ago at Target for $2.50. Next, I pulled out the cricut and cut they vinyl.
I hung it on the wall under the grouping of wedding photos that is by the front door. I love how it turned out and it was so, so easy and cheap!
I made 15 of theses. The other 14 were on red blocks, but I forgot to take pictures before I gave them away. It was a fun, cheap Christmas gift. I hope everyone that received them enjoyed them.
I made 10 sets of these blocks. I LOVE the way they turned out. I hope that everyone who received a set likes them too.
P.S. Ignore the DVDs in the background. My block set happens to sit in front of my DVDs and I didn't want to move them just to get a picture since they are being pack up tomorrow.
I've been madly working on my Christmas presents. I'm working on projects every night, but won't post pictures because the people who read this blog most are the people who will be receiving the projects as gifts. Wish me luck meeting the Christmas deadline! I hope to make it.... Next year, I'm doing my Christmas gifts in JULY!
Not a great picture, but I LOVE how this frame turned out. I used my CriCut and some vinyl. It works perfect for the FREE picture that I got from Sears. So, so cute. I will hang it next year too!

My trees for this Christmas. I love the non-traditional colors. My husband even tolerates the pink. Now I just need to get stockings that match.
Inside and outside views. I love it! I hope my little one loves it too. I guess we'll find out Christmas morning!
