Living Loud

I made a third card to go with our next class. This card is such a "boy" card...but I love it anyway! 

 
Each card has a different sentiment, custom cut for each. All are music-themed.
Enjoy!

Spring Thinkin'

I sat in my (clean) craft room this weekend, watching the rain drip off the trees...I wanted to make more valentine's day cards, but I have plenty of those, so I reached for some spring inspiration.

Cold Heart

Brrrrr! It is so cold! I can't believe it, but I am soo looking forward to the rain, because waking up to 23 degree mornings is just not working for me! Lots of pictures on this post...

I was able to clean up my craft room over the weekend and then I crafted up two cute little cards.

 This first one is made with a heavy foil-type cardstock.

inside lighting

 I used a decorative paper ribbon and flower, with a gray pearl accent.

This second card features a flocked red paper, with a reverse pattern on the second layer. 

this is standard 4.25 x 5.5

The stamped  Heart is double stamped and the stamped "ribbon" image is cut out and mounted.

I added some cute red gems, too.

Inside the polka-dot washi tape starts and continues to the front of the card. 

gray area is for writing your little love notes

Hope you're staying warm!

LOVE-ly little card

Happy New Year! I hope it was a terrific new year for you! I am so happy to see 2013....I'm looking forward to meeting my goals and just being happy!

During our winter break (and I use "break" very loosely. I didn't get a single "break"...between stomach bugs, holidays and colds) I was able to make two cards....one didn't quite turn out the way I like. I think I better post that one, too. I'll have to take a picture. Anyway, I was able to make one nice card.

this is 5 x 7

I also have a HUMONGOUS mess in my craft room to clean, purge and organize. I think I'll tackle that after I eat these bon-bons and finish watching my stories.........

Christmas Cards, the sequel

Hello!

 An a matching card:

 It has been an exceptionally hard, but satisfyingly successful year. I'm so happy to be here!

Just showin'

I'm posting a real quick Christmas planner I made up via the site eighteen25.blogspot.com

I normally don't do the pre-made stuff, 'cuz Im a DIY kinda gal, but these are done so well and it's so easy to print off the front label and put it all together in a Composition book.
 We're putting these together today. Should be fun!

Birthday Count Down Calendars

I made these two count-down calendars for some friends of ours.

 

The picture on this one is not as good, but turned out very cute!

Kid's love to open one box each day, six days before their birthday. My boys certainly love theirs!
