Better Late than Never!

Look at this little guy! Isn't he gorgeous? We clash on a daily basis, but whenever I see this picture, all I see is how happy and beautiful he is. He is heading off to grade 2 in a couple of weeks, so this page was a long time coming, but then again, it was in a frame on our wall for a while. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!Supplies used...

Needed a Thank You Card in a Rush!

We received an unexpected (and very yummy gift) from Jason's Uncle Bryon last night! So of course he deserves a handmade thank you card! I whipped this one up amid kids fighting and screaming, and I am pretty much out of adhesive, hence the staples, so it ended up very simple, but I kind of like how it turned out. Anyway, the sketch is from Mojo...

Sweet Feet

I just love these photos taken of my daughter over 4 years ago, but for some reason they didn't get scrapbooked until last night. Maybe it was the mish-mash of colors, but I finally found some paper to go with them, and I like how it turned out. I may still add some journaling around the top section. I found my inspiration and title from an ad...

This one also includes Diane, and for a while, we were like the Three Muskateers or something! Fun times. Anyway, I used all CTMH products (paper from Boom Di Ada Level 2, die cuts...

Mojo Monday 100 Day 3 and Color Me Monday

Here is a card I made today, and let me tell ya, I spent waaaaaay too long on it, but I love it! Everything I used is from CTMH: colors are from Jeannette Lynton's Color Me Monday Challenge, Indian Corn Blue, Creme Brulee, Tulip, and Cocoa, and the stamp set is Ms. On the Go. I think she's just so cute! The design inspiration comes from a blog called...

3x6 Card using Treetops My Acrylix stamp set and a Wishes template, "Name Plate" Well, this picture was supposed to go under the other posts, but it's just not happening. Oh well, like I said, I've never done this before. On a side note, I'm not much of a card maker. I find it much more difficult that scrapbooking, so the CTMH card-making books,...

First Ever Post!!!

Okay, I'm a little nervous about this because I've never done it, but I guess I'll just try it and see what happens.The other day I had a hankering to try some cards with some leftover bamboo cardstock. I searched through the Close to My Heart Summer 2009 catalogue and found this pallette on page 78-79 (Bamboo, Blush, Hollyhock, Juniper). This is what I came up wi...
