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.

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:

Scalloped heart: also from sweet hearts

(maybe a 4")

thankyou sentiment: stampin up

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.

birthday card

Wow thank you so much for coming to my blog! and thank you momo for making the opportunity of giving us small bloggers a chance to get more followers. I had a super fun Saturday with my sisters-in-law. One of them just got engaged and was itching to go bridal shopping. She asked me if I can make her a guest book like I did for her sister. So I asked my husband if I could buy a new cricut cart. She wants daisies and butterflies. She really liked the flower on Sweet Treats. I'm not sure if it's a daisy but she says it is. So I got it! I had homework due that night so I had to wait to play with the cart until Sunday night. That is usually when I craft anyway. I have a couple of birthdays coming up in April so...What do you think? It's for my nephew. He's turning 6.

How I did it:

Cake: Sweet Treats: 3 1/2 in

Card base:blue: 4x4 folded

green layer: scrap green strips

patterned dots: 3 1/2x3 1/2

Happy Birthday: Studio 112 stamp

Strip in middle of cake is another scrap that helped the stamp show up

glitter glue
