Birthday Cars Card

I have been busy as a bee. New schedule, puppy and life in general. I think I got a good schedule to help me stay organized and use my time wisely. It has been a bit since I have posted but I still have been creating like crazy. Lots of fun things to share with the world. :)

Here are two cards I made with a boy/guy related theme. If you're like me this is the hardest theme to make for cards. Girl cards are easy butterfly or flowers or a cute animal. Boys on the other hand not so much. I love this car stamp from Inque Boutique, I had some trouble figuring out out to incorporate it on the card, so I decided to make it a background. I used Versamark ink and stamped it all over the cardstock! I did the same thing with the Happy stamp. I only have one circle punch (Shocker I know!) so I used that to create a peek a boo for the happy. I adore these puffies from Ki Memories they added just what I need to complete the card.

I am trying something new when I go to create a card. I am making a second one at the same time. That way if I am ever in a crunch, I have a little stack to go and snag a card. ;)

Love Birds Thank You Cards

Happy Monday! Can't believe a new week has started, lots of fun things planned and excited about it! It snowed again in Maryland and I am hoping that was the last of it. Our furbaby injured his leg and has to be on minimal activity, which is not easy for a puppy! As you know I found our wedding box and here is another card, they were thank you cards for all the wonderful gifts, thoughts and people who made our wedding special.

Ribbon: Michaels. Stamps: Ditto (Geometric Backround), Hero Arts (Tree Branch & Sentiments), Unknown (Birds). Punch: Creative Memories (Heart) CS: Prism. Embossing Powder: Inque Boutique.

Happy Birthday Star

Whoa to say its been a crazy whirlwind is putting it lightly! A big snow storm came through again, doggie and hubby were excited about it because it was a snow day! I had my open house for my paper crafts business and ever since then its been great! I had to take a day off on Monday to catch up from all the fun! Thank you so much everyone for the support and helping my business grow! As you can see I have been on a card kick lately! But I definitely want to get back into scrapbooking and I am even going to try my hand at project life! I can't wait, I already ordered some products! Thanks for checking my blog out today and I always love reading your comments!
