Year 2010

Happy New Year!!

My sweet friend, Nancy , recently did a “top ten” post. I just love the idea! You have to check out her cards. They are WOW! So I decided I would post my top ten cards of 2010 as it comes to a close. These cards are favorites or sometimes ones that are special to me. 2010 has been a year filled with just about every emotion, but over all it has been amazing! I…

Leaving on a jet plane

Hello! I have some exciting news! I am going to Australia with my family! This is been a huge dream for all of us to go since we were little, and we were supposed to go last year but my mom had emergency back surgery, so it had to be postponed exactly a year, which is why it is now at the craziest time to go ever! Right before CHA! Ahhhh! That is why we…

random cards!

Hello! Today I have some random cards for you! This one is a tiny little card that would be perfect for a housewarming gift! I just love Harold’s ABCs to customize fun stickers! Here is a *very* belated Hanukkah card. It was so cute in person, but I could not photograph it for the life of me! Don’t you hate when that happens?
I wanted it to look like the dreidel from Happy Hanukkah was…

more joy!

Hello and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I wanted to share the card I made for my hubby. I just had to use the mistletoe from Bows and Holly! Hehe! Critters in the ‘Burbs is one of his favorites so I made sure to include that, too! 🙂
It’s funny. Every card that I made this year for my family had the word “joy” on it. I didn’t intend…

Joy

Happy Christmas, Eve! I thought I would share one of the cards that I made for my family. This one is for my brother! I tried to combine cool patterns that are similar to the clothes he wears and his love of inanimate objects with smiley faces! Haha! Cozy Christmas and Bannerific were the perfect fit! I made the fireplace like I did in this video , but I just added Mr. fire man to…

just a silly card!

Hahaha! I just had to do it! This is why I love alphabet stamp sets: making my own sayings! Harold’s ABCs adds enough whimsy to this punny sentiment to make it more fun and cute rather than angry and negative. Haha! I made my shag carpeting from baker’s twine, and I have to admit I sort of want baker’s twine rugs now! 🙂 These American Crafts dimensional stickers are perfect for coming up with punny…

mass tag production

Hello! I have been in mass production mode! I decided to make the tags from this post and video for our pre-Christmas celebration with Mike’s family this weekend! The only change I made was using Lawn Trimmings twine and adding a jingle bell for more whimsy! I love my whimsy :). Hehe! Here it is all filled out. How I wish my handwriting was prettier! I attached it to our presents with some washi tape!…

Make a Christmas card in 5 minutes with only what is on your desk!

I wasn’t able to make a card yesterday because Mike and I actually decided to have a date night at Disneyland. We have been working so hard that we haven’t had enough time together. It was so nice! So, this morning I thought I would issue a challenge to myself since I didn’t have anything to blog! My challenge: Make a card in 5 minutes with what I have on my desk! Pretty much all…

thank you for being my friend


Hello! I decided to take a little holiday card break and make a general card using Hello Friend . I just love the large scale of the sentiments! I also love that this one fits perfectly in this awesome EK Success “real estate sign” punch! This set is also so great for showing off pretty patterned paper and embellishments. 🙂 I also love to add some Distress Ink to the sides of my patterned paper…
