Graduation card

Here is another graduation card. My little cousin graduated from kindergarten. Her brother got the other card and he graduated from high school. I called them and asked how they liked their cards and she told me she loved hers so much. I was excited to hear that.

dog card: sweet hearts

a little something for you

i wanted to give a 365 card challenge a try. the challenge was to make a 'double stair step' card. I've also been wanting to make my sister-in-law a card. She is getting married in june. Her theme is butterflies and daisies. Her colors are white, yellow, green, and purple. I wanted to try a test run for the guest book she asked me to make. So here is the result.

Here is the view from the top so you can see the stairs. I think I made 3 stairs. oops. That didn't occur to me when I was

making it.

How I did it:

Simple Thank you

I made this card for my cousin who sent me a ton of baby girl clothes. It's very simple and totally her style. I had in mind to use this card for the two color challenge on the 365 cards blog but I didn't get around to submitting it because of my finals. I can't believe that i'm graduating tomorrow with my A.S. degree!

How I did it:

(I think it was cut out at 4 1/2)

Scalloped heart: also from sweet hearts

(maybe a 4")

thankyou sentiment: stampin up

Daisies

I made this card over the weekend. I've decided to get a head start on my cards and eventually get way ahead and have a stash for emergencies. I think I planned this one for my mom. She likes these colors.

How I did it:

card base: 5 1/2 x 11 (folded 5 1/2 x 5 1/2)

layer: 5 x 5"

Daisies: 2" Sweet Treats

Stems:3" Sweethearts

stamps: studio 112

In my tribe we call our relatives on our mother's side differently than our fathers side. For example my mother's brothers and sisters would be my father and mother too. cousins would be sister's and brothers and ect. you get the point. this is done because the daughter when married would live close to the mother. Her children would literally grow up with their cousins. So what do you call your sister's daughter? Your niece right? Well in my tribes way it is the same my cousin's daughter would be my cousin niece. I probably confused you. Just know she had a birthday. She's not a frilly girl so I didn't make this one pink like I did the other one.

late new years resolution

So being a 3/4 time online college student, pregnant, going to deliver a baby at the end of Feb (hopefully, she's been wanting to come earlier), and a full time mom, when do I have time to craft? Well that is my new years revolution. make a least 2 cards a week. It's going to be tough but I think I can do it. I find my self making cards at the 11th hour for a birthday, holiday, ect. My husband has been wanting me to make cards a head of time so that I will have an option of cards when the time is short. Which isn't a bad idea. So that's what I'm going to do. Sunday's are usually my card making day. I hope I can still do that when the baby is born. My sister-in-law recently got married and she asked me if I would make the guest book. She wanted a 12x12 layout with room enough to sign or do what ever she wants. Again I for got to take pictures. But that recently took up my time and I've been crocheting baby booties and a sweater for my baby to be. I did however take a picture of her card that I made her. I wanted it to be small and I actually figured out how to make it fit in a reg. business envelope. not the long ones the short letter ones. ( I don't know what they are called) I also found another picture of a project that I forgot to put up a while ago.

my pink stamper challenge

I've been so busy! finally things are slowing down. I made this for my pink stamper challenge and also for my niece's birthday. I was so happy that she held on to this card for a long time and admired it. She was especially happy to see that the girl riding the bike was her. That alone is worth it.

Christmas Rush!!

I've been in a rush to create cards this week. I've only had a couple of days to do that because I had finals. I also made a ton of tags for presents.
