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)

What a WONDERFUL Mother's Day....

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

I used all CTMH products:
Free Spirit Paper Packet
Autumn Terracotta Ink
Indian Corn Blue Ink
Honey Ink
Cocoa Ink
Dimensional Elements: Classic and Simple Alphabets, Fresh Shapes
Typewriter Keys (not sure if this one is still available)
Coluzzle
Chalks
"scissor distressed" the edges and stitched using my sewing machine on both pages.

Life's Delight Artwork

This paper packet took a while to try out (all the girly colors and I'm an all-boy mother) and I'm so sorry I waited!! This has become, not only one of my favorite paper packets, but another one of my favorite color combos. The layouts are a part of TK's Album and include some pregnancy pictures, "birth" day pictures of my niece CJW (only born 15 days before TK) and some of TK. There is also a 2-page spread of him rolling over and laughing....the cards, I absolutely adore!!! (original post April 21, 2008)

It's so funny to look at these pages since it was documenting TK turning 6 months old and learning how to sit, etc....he's now almost TWO YEARS OLD!!!! They grow up so fast! I hope you enjoy today's blast from the past....it was a FUN color combo ( Original Post - March 25, 2008).

Boy....it's been a while! With moving and the new house and all, I've hardly had time to "create". I took all day Friday as "my time" and spent the day with close friends and created the following.

All supplies are CTMH items except some brown gingham and polka dot ribbon.....LOTS of distressing which is especially nice since our cardstock has the white core. Colors are Breeze, Chocolate, Blush, Sweet Leaf and/or White Daisy & Colonial White. Stamp set is the April SOTM - Express Postage and is a SUPER verstile set.
