Easter Card

I needed a somewhat fast Easter card to send to my father-in-law and stepmother-in-law.  I wanted to include a picture of their granddaughter.  Here's what I came up with!

The patterned paper is actually from the DCWV baby girl 4x6 stack.  I used repositionable tabs for the back of the picture so they can remove and save it. 

My nephew's 1st birthday card

My nephew turns one next week!  It's so hard to believe!  My daughter will be one in a few weeks too!

The theme for his birthday party is dogs, so I thought this was appropriate.  I used mycutsearch.com to find the perfect dog.  I used the one on Create a Critter 2.  I used the birthday hat that actually went with the monkey.  Googly eyes and stickles finished off the birthday dog.

 

I just realized that I should have put a 1 somewhere on the card... I may go back and try to find a way to add it, or I may just leave as is.  What do you think? 

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

I created a simple card for my husband's 32nd birthday today! He spent the day away from home unfortunately. He's staying busy! Since he's coaching and managing some organizations I went with a coaching theme. I thought about cutting out a softball from one of my Cricut cartridges but decided against it. 

The paper is "Black Magic" by Co'rdinations. I used a Darice embossing folder and sanded to make the blue show through. I added yellow ribbon and used a Studio G stamp for the message. (His team colors are blue and gold).

My little one!

I can't believe she's 10 1/2 months old! Time really does fly! She's "cruising" holding onto things and crawling so fast! It will only be a matter of time until she's walking!

Valentine's Day Card!

I had a chance today to create something, for the first time in FOREVER! My little one (who's 10 months old now - hard to believe!) was napping, so I started hubby's Valentine's Day card. I was able to finish while she played.

No Cricut on this one. (I lent my E and almost all of my cartridges to a friend...) I used a Sizzix (Valentine Set #2) embossing folder, a Studio G stamp, some ribbon from my stash, and some pink Stickles. I kept it simple. It was so much fun to make! I'm hoping to be able to craft more now that my daughter is a little older and more independent.

Happy Holidays!

It's been such a long time since I've posted! Life has been crazy!

My daughter, Lilly Elizabeth, was born on April 14!  My hubby and I are enjoying her more and more each day as she develops her own personality!

I haven't had time to craft, needless to say, with a little one at home.  I started back at work at the end of August, and have no time at all.  Add Lilly not sleeping more than 2 hours at a stretch at night and you get one tired Momma!

Here's a picture from our Christmas photo shoot last night.  My sister-in-law is an amazing photographer!  Hard to believe she's only in high school!  She's editing the pictures this weekend, but I couldn't wait to post one!  This is my favorite picture!  Hubby's hand is in the way (she kept putting the lights in her mouth) but her face is just too adorable!
