Another cheep talk

Here is another card that I made with cheep talk. Enjoy!

Giraffe card

At first I didn't like this card, but after I played around with it and added glitter to the giraffe I love it! The alphabet stamp is a wheel stamp called nursery alphabet. I have seen so many cute this done with it. Most of the wheels I don't really like but this one I do! The colors I used chocolate chip, so saffron and whisper white.

Calendar

I found this wood calendar and thought that it would be fun to alter. I applied paper to it and distressed the edges and here you have the end result. I don't know if you can tell but in the back there is a paper tablet. I have some fun ideas of putting a "day's til' Christmas" card in that slot and having it count down til' Christmas (and any other count down). When I do I will post it again so you all can see.

Easter basket

Here is a fun little Easter basket that I made. I know can you believe it Easter is coming soon! I can't believe how fast this year is going.

I don't know if you can see but the bunny is embossed. I cut some skinny strips of paper and crinkled them up and but them inside as grass. The designer paper I got for free (Stampin up messed up and gave me it free in my last order). It is not something that I would have bought but I really like it. So thanks Stampin up!

A is for adorable!

This week while potty training Malik, we tried a lot of things to keep him entertained while on the Potty. Bubbles seemed to work great. It worked so well even Zia got in on the fun! If you look closely you will notice on Zia's face "dip dips" (a.k.a. ketchup). Boy does she love her dip dips!

Botanical Blooms

Here is some cards that I made with Botanical blooms (one of Stampin up Sale-A-Bration). I liked these cards because they make me think of spring. I used perfect plum, pale plum and certainly celery. I posted both of them because I could not decide which one I liked better.

Baby box

Here is an idea that I took from someone online. It is a fun way to write down and remember your baby's first year. This wood box is big enough to hold 4 x 6 pictures so you can also store your baby pictures here. I like it because you can go back after the fact to scrapbook them and they are all in order. I wanted to add embellishments to the cards but I ran our of time. Something that happens a lot!

Cheep talk

Here is another card using the same stamp set as yesterday. I really like this set.

Pear card

Here is today's cards. I have had a crazy week. But I am hoping to get started making cards again. It is so simple but yet I really like it! I used the new stamp set Cheep talk with kiwi kiss, chocolate chip and so saffron.

Daddy's work

This was a conversation I had with Malik today:

"Mommy, daddy and Zia are going to stay home!"
"Oh ya, Where are you going?"
"to work!"
"Oh really what are you going to do at work?"
"Drink CHOCOLATE MILK!" (so matter-of-faculty!)
"Is that what Daddy does when he is at work?"
"YAAAAH!"

Who doesn't want that!

Tuesday's card

This card was fun. I have had Stampin ups watercolor crayons for awhile now and I have been wanting to try this technique (where you color the crayons right onto the stamp then spray with a fine mist of water and stamp). So here it is! It was quite easy and fun. I used summer sun, chocolate chip, always artichoke and certainly celery. The stamp set is Inspired by Nature and French script.

Monday's card

This is going to be our invites for our RS birthday social. I think I over did it!!! I just got this new stamp set Trendy trees. I really like it though. I used ridinghood red, pumpkin pie, old olive.

Friday's card

Today's card I used a stamps from Simply said, sincere salutation, french script and polka dot. I guess you could say that I love Stampin up's polka dot! I used it a lot! It will be sad when they retire it. I used Riding hood red, old olive and chocolate chip paper and ink. For the glitter I used the diamond stickles.

Today's card

Today's card is birthday card for a little boy. I think I was inspired by this card because of Malik's 3rd birthday! I don't think you can see it but down in the right hand corner it says "driving by with a birthday hi!". I used the By Land stamp set from Stampin Up. The paper and inks are not quite navy, old olive, riding hood red and so saffron. Enjoy!

Card a day challenge

I am going to try to make one card a day. We will see how long I can keep it up! I think it will be a fun challenge! Thanks to my birthday money I have a some fun new stamp sets coming any day now. So stay tone for more. Here is my 1st one. I used Flight of the Butterflies and Polka dots stamp sets with Pink pirouette, black and white paper and ink.

My Husbands gone MAD!!!

Trains, Trains Trains and even more trains!!!!

I can't stop him! We were out on a bike ride last summer and happened to see a garage sale! I though lets just see if they have any fun toys...well they did! They had GEOTRAXS! That opened the door to this! Trains have taken over our toy room!! So now we have a room dedicated to TRAINS! I do need to add the the kids just love it (Corom being one of them)!

February Stamp Camp

Here are pictures of what me made at my Stamp Camp for February. There are 3 card and the others are pouch/box, cute bag and a treat holder (M&M's). I used the Love You Much stamp set on all but one which I used Simply Said on.

This is my favorite! I plan on putting cookies in here and giving it out as little valentines gift!
