A birthday card for mom

Wow, can you all believe that I have posted two days in a row! Like I said, I have so much to share with you, I just hope I can keep up with this posting thing! LOL!

I'll have to keep this post very short. My 12-year old son and husband will be running in the Honolulu Marathon tomorrow and I have to wake up at 3 a.m. to drop them off! My gosh!

Wish them luck cause I know they'll need it!!!! I don't know what they heck they were thinking when they signed up for it! Guess I'd better get the Bengay ready!!!!

Okay, now on to my card.

Last month we celebrated my mom's 21st birthday (*wink*). She would seriously hurt me if I gave you her real age! Anyways, I bought her a gift certificate from Al's Tinting ( a dear friend of mine) to get a full tint job done on her brand new car. The gift certificate was rather large in size so I made this card 4" x 9".

The butterflies and sentiment used for this card are from C.C. Designs.

Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

For a sweet little girl......

Are you guys all ready for Christmas? I sure ain't! Been so busy crafting that I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet! Crazy! Well, I have been missing from the blogging scene for a while but believe me, I have been crafting. Just way too busy to post....I know, I'm so terrible.

Anyhow, last month I got a call from a dear friend whose little niece passed away. Instead of buying a floral wreath that would eventually die, my friend wanted to give the family something that they could keep forever to remember her by and also something that cheered everyone up when they saw it. She wanted some type of silk floral arrangement in happy colors that could be placed up front at the funeral service.

Since she was such a young little girl who loved Hello Kitty, I went with that. This is the floral bouquet that I came up with.

My friend loved it and she said that her family also loved it. I'm just glad it helped to lighten the mood a little bit. My sincere condolences go out to their family at this most difficult time.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

A Special Gift for a Special Friend

Happy Wednesday everyone! I just wanted to share with you a little gift that I made for my boss. Many of you already know that I work for Nadine - The Suburban Psychic. If you haven't heard about her....where the heck have you been? LOL! If you really don't know who she is you can check her out on 98.5 every Thursday mornings at 7 a.m. Or you can visit her website or her blog. You can even click on the blinkie I have on the top left corner of my blog. She's an awesome psychic but most of all an amazing friend! I know some of you reading this are saying "I don't even believe in that stuff!" Well take my advice and give her a try, you'll be amazed!!!!

Anyhow, she had ordered a boxed set of monogrammed cards from me. She loves the color purple and adores the Gorjuss Girls. Here is what I came up with:

Since she is just the sweetest thing, I wanted to make her a couple more things to send with her order. I made this cute little desk top note set to match her monogrammed note cards.

A matching Post-It holder:

And this bookmark because she loves to read.

She received her box last week and said she loves her stuff! Yay, I'm so happy!

Have a beautiful day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Savannah is Oh So Pretty!!!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I know I sure did!

Although I was super busy, I did manage to whip up this card at like 5 am Saturday morning!

Yeah, I was up at the crack of dawn getting ready for my son's football game when this little number popped into my head. This card features TGF's Savannah and I think she is absolutely adorable! I had stamped and colored her a while back but never did anything with it, so here is the card that I finally put together!

Have a great day everyone!

Pumpkin Head

I can't believe Halloween is right around the corner! I made this box a few weeks ago thinking I could put it aside to post later (since I've been so lazy to post!) but this morning I looked at the date and totally spazzed out! So here it is, before Halloween comes and goes without me putting this up. Ha!

This box was made using Lauren Meader's Tucked Away template and TGF's Spooktacular set. Kinda hard to tell that I just love everything Lauren Meader and Greeting Farm!

This box can hold 3 of these Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Creepy Crispies

With Halloween just around the corner, I figured I'd better hurry up and post these up before it passes! Can you believe that it'll be October already? Where did the days go!? Anyways, I had a whole box of rice crispy treats that we didn't end up using for my sons football team so I decided to create a box to wrap them in for Halloween. It was really simple, I just measured the rice crispy treat and designed a simple little box that measures 2" x 3.5".

I think I will make these for my kids to give their classmates this year. Even though my kids are getting way too old to be passing out treats in school, their friends always look forward to what I'll be making them next. So it's always fun to make things for people who really appreciate them!

This cute little witch is from TGF's Spooktacular set.

Here's another one with Spooktacular's little mummy. He is so cute!

A close up of the embossed spider web pattern on the back of the box made with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Isn't that just too cute!

Have a wonderful evening everyone! Thanks for coming to visit!
