Birthday Card for my Big BRO!

This little cutie is on its way to my oldest brother in Columbus. Also, I am going to enter it into the 2 Sketches for You http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/ contest since the design is inspired by their 7/26/10 sketch.

Supplies: "Friend" letters, Lawn Fawn; "Friend" definition background stamp, Hero Arts; Cricut cart, "George"; brads, MM; sticker, Paper Studio; "happy birthday" stamp, Stampin Up; string, gem and paper from stash

Sympathy Card

Inspired by the "Pink Cricut" blog's butterfly tree card on her 7/20/10 entry, I made this version for a sympathy card for my stash. Thanks for looking!

Supplies: cardstock from stash; Martha Stewart trio butterfly punch; Stampin Up ribbon, sentiment stamp and inks; MM wire; Ranger Industries Distress Inks in peeled paint, broken china and vintage photo; tree stamp by Studio G.

Polka Dot Card Set

Here's another card set for a gift. Six in the set with envelopes. Each one is slightly different. I left most blank so they could be used for any occasion. I love this set and will probably make another one with blues or greens. Click on the photos to see larger images.

Supplies: Stamps by Hero Arts; Cricut cartridges, "George" and "Lyrical Letters"; Cuttlebug folders; MM brads; Martha Stewart Punches, Loopy and photo corner; rick rack and gems.

Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!

Composition Book #2

Here's another covered composition book I made for Christmas. This one also features the DCWV papers from the "Farmer's Market" collection, Spellbinders Labels 8 die, the Storybook Cricut cartridge for the name and Lawn Fawn alpha stamps called "Harold's ABC" for the word "notes". I want my books to be pretty flat to put in tote bags, etc. so there's nothing too bulky on this one. I may go back and add some google eyes the that cute little mouse though! Thanks for looking!

Cherry Good Wishes

This is a composition book I covered for a gift this coming Christmas. Supplies: paper by DCWV "Farmer's Market"; Cricut Lyrical Letters cart; Alpha stamps by Lawn Fawn called "Harold's ABC". That little alpha set is "da bomb"! You can make any word you need. The set includes some extra lower case letters to make it even easier to create wording! Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!

Card Set

This is a set of blank cards to be given at Christmas. Yes, I know it is only July, but I am trying to get ahead of the game. CARDS: Spellbinders Labels 8 for the bases and white pieces cut smaller with same die on the inside; rick rack; MM flowers; Lawn Fawn Harold's ABC for the "hello"; cuttlebug folders (swiss dots, swirls, and paisley). Envelopes: Stampin Up flower stamp and inks except the blue which is Distress Ink. Box: kraft paper; rick rack; and Recollections flowers.

An Old Card Made New

I found this "thank moo" card in my stash. I made this two years ago for our son's 1st birthday. The invites were very similar. I decided it might be fun to give it a face lift!

Here's the new version. The spots are cuttlebugged with the swirls folder. I used black stazon ink with the Rubber Stampede image. I added the black and white ribbon (his b-day layout has cow print ribbon), the pop of red and bling, glossy accents on the cow, and stamped the words using Lawn Fawn's "Harold's ABC" set. I repeated the ribbon on the inside. Ahhhhh, that's much better! -Kelly

My new baby blog has its first follower! Welcome Suzanne!



Did two miles on the "treadwheel" (Alex's name for it) and ran 1 1/4 miles of it. Felt great!


The rain kept us home today. The boys enjoyed their new room configurations, we briefly worked on some letters, they captured "bad guys" with unwound leis and we just "chilled".

Cupcake card

Here's a card I made from Making Memories "Sabrina" paper, Doodlecharms Cricut cart, and Spellbinder Labels Eight die.

Trying to add a picture...

Testing the image uploading feature of blog spot. Apparently, it is so easy even I can figure it out! YEAH! This is a picture of our Australian Shepherd, Sydney Anne, she LOVES the snow.

God Bless!

Well, now my legs are shot.

Jogged 1.5 miles and walked a half mile. Glad the day is almost over. The boys (3 and 5) are enjoying the new box of "Scrabble" Cheez-Its. The older one is helping the younger one find the letters in his name. Tasty and educational! Brilliant!

Welcome to my little spot in space...

I decided to create a blog place to post some of my little creations. I enjoy making cards, crafts with my boys and scrapbook layouts. Off to take a jog on the treadmill. We'll see what comes of this....
