Crafty Cards

I am having a great time playing with all my reorganized craft supplies...

Last week, I blogged about about paper and supplies I have hoarded {here}, waiting the perfect craft project to come along before I cut the paper, and use the supplies...because when you find a really cute paper or embellishment, once they're used that's it...they can't usually be found again because lines are discontinued to make way for new products.

So here are a few cards I have made...I really like making cards because they are the perfect size...a scrapbook page is too intimidating, even when I have a good plan, finding a picture, cropping it just right, etc...well it's all just too much!

These first four are children's cards

Now here are a few Masculine cards

A few for next Valentines Day

Pretty Girly cards...they are the most fun to create

Happy July 4th!

Handmade Cards

Paper stash?

No, I don't have much scrapbook paper...that is until I reorganized my craft goodies. Then it became apparent I have a hoarding issue...more specifically, a scrapbook paper hoarding issue. And, maybe a teensy issue with letter stickers and rub-ons...

Odds and Ends

Our Easter weekend celebration went so well! We had a lovely time, lunching with all my children and my Mom, where I ate soooo much! I thought I would post a few pix of Easter, and then add a few pictures of past cards I created...

Here are our Easter eggs are cooling after boiling, so my boys can dye them...and below are the eggs made into deviled eggs after the hunt!

Bunny Garland

I made a sweet simple bunny garland for our celebration... 

I drew a simple bunny outline on a scrap of thick paper, traced it onto a multitude of pastel colors, cut them out, and attached them to yellow gingham ribbon with tiny clips

A Sampling of my Cards

Below are a few of my past cards I handmade for my Mom...

 This sweet card was made with my fave, Pink Persimmon stamps, the little girl, wagon, and Happy Birthday banner.

 A Christmas card, I honestly do not remember the products

(this was a card from two Christmas's past)

 My pink and orange phase!

The crown was made with Spellbinders die, inked with Stampin Up inks, and then I used Stickles and baby pearls to glitz it up! The orange and pink tag in the background, along with the pink zebra print ribbon id Theresa Collins.

Sew Sweet

Ahh, this is one of favorite cards, I actually saw a very similar card in a stamp magazine, and searched online to find the stamp, and then dug through my scrap box to find papers close to the picture...

I like the card because I have many "sew sweet" memories of my mother and grandmother sewing for me! When I would complain of boredom, my grandmother would actually stop what she was doing, search through her quilt scraps and sew me up a new Barbie outfit lickitysplit!

I was one lucky little girl!

Creative Projects

Well it is cold and rainy here...typical Southeast Texas weather! i have been very busy lately with school, mine and the boys. I have a presentation coming up soon, and Evan has a science fair project due soon also...and since we are on spring break, we will be working on them this week.
 I am posting a few of my past projects. I had a great time making them and thought I woud share...

This is a card I made with Pink Persimmon stamps, the little girl and boy , and the banner.

This card also was made with Pink Persimmon stamps.

Both of the above cards were Fathers day cards for my two oldest sons, they are basically assemblage using various products, I think mostly from Jenni Bowlin...
