My June CAT's



Here's my June CAT's set that I made for "Brenda"! I had a late start but was able to finish it and will be sending it out today. This month we had to use "Butterflies" on our card. It took me a while to figure out what to do but hope she'll like what I have made for her. I think when I'm stressed is when I am best at finishing what ever I am working on. I can't remember what stamp this is called but I kinda messed up with the coloring of the butterfly on her head so I had to improvise and put a ribbon on instead. Anyway I hope she likes it and Thanks for stopping by. Have a Great Day!

Flower Power



Wow time goes by so quickly when you're having fun! This is a past due card that I finally finished. When you're not in the mood it takes a heck of a time to get back into it. I finally had some time and finished. I got carried away a bit since I actually sewed the 2 panels on the left and right side. You can't really see it and I forgot to take a close up of it. In between sewing 70 bags for kids for our company Summer Picnic, hemming my husbands shirts and sewing grocery bags for myself I actually found some time to finish this card. Just love the colors (pink) on this card! Oh yea I forgot also that I need to clean the house in between all of that too! Ok now for my next project I hope to finish this weekend too. Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog and Have a Great Weekend!

"Thank you Pocket" card

I've been so busy with other things and haven't been able to create anything for quite sometime. Tonight I was able to make this little pocket "Thank You" card. I used the 3-1/2" scallop square. Trying to figure out the color combination was the hardest part trying to match it all up.

I received a box today from my sister and in the box there was this packet with "Kreate-a-lope". It's templates to make several different size envelopes. What a perfect time for this especially that I now need to create an envelope for this card. What great timing!!
Anyway Thanks for stopping by my blog today and Have a Great Hump Day tomorrow.

Koala giraffe Milk carton favors


Here is another version of the milk carton favors. Since my niece likes giraffes she chose this Koala Giraffe instead. It turned out really cute and it matches some stuff that she had already gotten from her first baby shower. Ok now to get started in making the rest. Hopefully I'll only need to make about 60 this time. At least this one is a bit easier than the booties.
I wanted to show you the picture of the bin she received that I wanted to try and match it. It turned out pretty good I think. Hope you all have a nice weekend and Have a Great Day!

Baby Booties


I was able to get a picture of the booties that I made for my nieces baby shower from a friend who still had it on her desk. She didn't open it yet so I was lucky that she let me take the picture. The pattern is actually a girls bootie with the front opening and a strap to go over the foot. I had to alter the pattern to make it for a boy so he could have shoe laces. Since my niece likes stars and giraffes I also added the star to the front of the bootie and the giraffe on the label. I thought I was going to only make about 30 in the beginning and as the week went by and everyone RSVP'd it turned out being about 85 co-workers. Wow that was alot of work! It was fun though and so worth it. I now am working on another one for her for a June shower. She'll be overwhelmed with baby stuff. Great!
My next challenge is favors for my granddaughter who will be making 1 year old at the end of July. I better get on the ball thinking of something. I know her theme will be Disney - Mickey Mouse so it shouldnt be too bad. But knowing me it will probably be last minute and I'll stress on it. Anyway Thanks for stopping by today and Have a Great Memorial Day weekend!!

Hello Kitty Wall Clocks



I know I've been away from blogging and paper crafting for quite some time. I really want to start creating and crafting again soon but have been tremendously busy and just not enough time to do much. Here I made 2 quick Hello Kitty Wall Clocks with stickers and a Hello Kitty cut out that I've cut with my Cricut some time ago. I took this wall clock apart many months ago and never did anything with it. I know I should have made it another color but it turned out okay. I still continue to surf blogs whenever I get the chance. Thank you for stopping by to check out my creations!!

Easter card and Tag

It's been awhile and finally finished my Easter card and tag for this month. Had fun putting this together. I have not done a card in a while and managed to think of something. Since I was having trigger finger surgery today and know I needed to finish my card since I might be in pain from it. Although you can't see the tulip on her lap I thought it was such a cute image for this card. I decided to cut up some decorated eggs to hide in the grass too. I hope she'll like it. I hope to get back in track after my hand heals up. Thanks for stopping by.

Valentine's Day Cake

It's been awhile since my last post. I just got back from LV yesterday but made this Valentine's Day cake before we left but didn't get to post it. OMG I ended up buying alot of paper again from JoAnn's. At least it wasn't 50 lbs again but it I did pick up alot. Anyway here I made this cake and added some candy inside. These were made for some friends at work. I was kinda rushing when making this and didn't have enough time to make something for the middle of the cake and just added a bunch of flowers in the middle. It sure was fun making it, but it took me about a week to finish. I used the Valentines DP doodlebug design paper and the Dessert Box die cut from Lifestlye crafts.
