aah!

Can you believe that it is almost March?? I cannot believe how fast February flew by. I am looking forward to spring though, so I don't mind too much.

I thought I would share a layout today :) This a favorite of mine. It is one that I had published in Creating Keepsakes magazine.

I just loved how it turned out. I happened to find these perfect pattern papers that matched :)

These pictures are pretty old now--Levi will be 7 soon! He's not even 2 in these pictures. *sniff* I wishe they would stop growing:(....anyway....I used several Quickutz dies here. And there are a couple Papertrey Ink stamps too.


Thanks for stopping by today! I hope your week is going  well. We've been enjoying some really nice weather here this week.yay :)

another birthday

card. We won't have another birthday here until next month. But that doesn't mean I can't make them whenever I want, right?:)

Plus since this is for a teacher, it wouldn't work for any of the kids anyway:) I just had this really cute idea for this card, so I wanted to try it out. It turned out pretty much like I pictured, so yay! I also have to say I was pretty proud of the job I did fussy cutting the pencil.heehee :)

Thanks for stopping by today! I actually got a quite a bit of stamping time in today. But, I'm still very glad that there is one more day of the weekend left:)

A happy birthday

card :)

Just a card I had fun making. And you always need birthday cards, right? These leaves are from one of my favorite Papertrey sets, Harvest Berries.  I like stamping in different colors on kraft cardstock.

Oh, and things went really well at the dentist. I think I might have finally found one that I can actually agree with and continue going to. yay :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope your week is going well.

off to the dentist.

Again.... I don't know what it is about dentists (and dermatologists).... I'm off to get a 4th opinion on what to do about the 3 bigs' teeth. So far I have received 3 completely different opinions and solutions...sigh. I'm optimistic about this one, though :) We'll see how it goes.

Anyway, here's today's card. I embossed pretty mehndi medallions in clear on the white. It is kind of hard to see in the photo, but it looks really pretty in real life :)

Here's a detail shot :) Isn't it pretty? The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

Okay, that's it for today. We are off to the dentist. Thanks SO much for stopping  by!!

no valentine's card...

I did give one to hubby. Well, actually to be honest I *will* give one to him when he gets back home today. He had to go back to Saitama this week, so we didn't see him on Valentine's day. But since I really prefer not to make cards for a specific person on a specific occasion, I am giving one I made quite awhile ago. And most likely it has already been on the blog :)

So how about a birthday card?  I used a few different Papertrey sets on this card.

 

 

 

 

I like how it turned out I think. I really like the newsprint in gray. I have a hard time getting my sentiment banners to work, but I think it looks ok here.maybe?

 

Thanks for stopping by today :) I hope you had a great week and a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Starting again.

It's the start of another week. I'm sure I'm not ready. I guess I'll fake it :) At least it is sunny here. I don't know about everyone else, but sunny days cheer me up.

And how about a sunny card? heehee. I honestly didn't even plan my sunny comment to go with my card. Pure coincidence :)

All stamps are from Wplus9. The inks are from Papetrey Ink. I love how cheerful this card turned out. Definitely should brighten up someone's day.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope your week starts off great :)

I had

a great birthday :) Knowing that Tomio always spoils me and I will have lots of fun makes getting older pretty great :) heehee.  Kind of hard to go back to normal routine after fun days like that though....

I really like today's card. It actually took several tries to get the sentiments lined up well. I guess I'm not that good at eyeballing things...I ended up having to draw guidelines with a pencil on either side to make sure they lined up well. But in the end I think it was worth it :) All the stamps are from Papertrey's "Grunge me" set.

Thanks for stopping by today! Are you ready for the weekend? I definitely am.
