I finally got the pictures uploaded of the four Albums done for a friend as a gift to her husband for Father's Day. He LOVED the albums and I will be doing a Family Album as well. I tried to get them in order as close as I could but with this many pictures, it was kinda hard....enjoy!

If you'd like to see a close-up version, just click on the picture.

Boom-Di-Ada Cards

This card was one of my favorite!!! (Original Post - June 2, 2008)

--------------------------------------------------

I got inspiration for this card from one of the many blogs I visit daily. I used the circle Coluzzle for the flower and the petals (line up 1/2 of the tiniest circle with your border and cut and it creates a perfect scalloped edge). I also used "Say it in Style" which is the SOTM for May 2008.

Just the flower lifts to show a journal box to write your "Happy, Hello, etc." On this card, I have highlighted "Happy" and "Birthday" to make it a birthday card. You could highlight any sentiment you wanted! Another FYI about this card...I used one of my bigger blocks (4x4) and put on the words on the block so I would only have to stamp once! How COOL is that!!! You can only do that with acrylic stamps!!

I'm absolutely HOOKED....

These are still my favorites (shhhhh, I have only given one away and am hording the rest!!) - even though the paper packet is no longer available, you could still use the color combo!! (Original Post - May 15, 2008)

on these new cards. I got the idea from Prairie Paper & Ink. She has such a clean and fresh look....I just LOVE her stuff!!!

Anyways....these were super easy to make and I used my favotite paper packet from CTMH....Serindipity....I wish they would carry this again!

Thanks for looking!!

Mother's Day Blessings....

What do ya know....my FAVORITE subject just happened to be next on my list of "reposts"!!! These BOYS make me smile each and every time I see them (even when my "middle child" isn't acting as angelic as he looks :0) He's been at his "Poppy and Granma's" house ALL SUMMER and I miss him tremendously!!! He'll come back this weekend and I CANNOT WAIT (we've driven down to see him several times so it's been easier than I thought). Anywho....TK found the other copies of this picture yesterday and wouldn't put it down...he kept asking for "D". I guess I'm not the only one who misses DD!! (original post - May 12, 2008)

Here's to the beautiful children who call me "Mother"...

"scissor distressed" the edges and stitched using my sewing machine on both pages.
