Michelle takes the cupcake!

Here are some really great cupcake cards Michelle has done..She has been making cards like a mad woman. Keep it up Michelle!!! I think she is prepping for her birthday...Yep she is the next birthday girl!! I will keep you posted with the cards!

Up early!

If I had to get up early I would want this guy to wake me up!!! 

Kathy's new set and I think it is so great. This set can be used for so many occasions!!! Kathy is still not set up yet in her new house and has made a " temp" desk at her dining room table.....NOT the same!!! She is still making great cards so I guess it doesn't make a difference where you can create as long as you do!!!

Picture this

 I was fooling around a bit the other day trying to be inspired...It was not going well and I went into the "pile"...yep you know the "pile"...it is the pile of things you buy and you are not sure why but you will "use" it one day or you might "need" it. Yep, that is a closet in my house!! We don't talk about it much but we all know it is there!!! I went to my pile and found a glass frame I had bought from Ikea and I was determined to use it ....so here it is....I think it turned out really nicely. I have some of the leaves and flowers under the glass as well as used pop ups to raise it on the glass ....I think it looks sweet. 

Bag it!!

For the second project at our club night I had the idea of ...anything but a card...I wanted to show something that was easy but you could really get creative. My only wish is that I had had a white bag instead of the goldish one but I had to use what I had. So this was a 9x11 envelope I cut 3" off the top and then scored the other 3 sides ...2' for all of them ...I made some other creases and Voila!!! A really cute gift bag....totally not my creation I got it from SCS but it was easy and fun...I left mine simple but you could really jazz it up.

So sweet

I have been so bad at posting I know! I said I would share our club night projects and it has been almost a week...so I had to come up with the projects and I we try to do something new every time...I wanted to use glossy paper because I have lots and don't use it as much as I should...I used the Rolling Marbles and made this background paper. I frayed the ribbon after I tied the knot and I didn't have Choc buttons so I used textured paper and punched it to the size of clear buttons....That all being said I wanted to tell you this card doesn't have the same layout as mine did.....This is my daughters card she made. So all the materials are the same the execution is a bit different.

 

the 2nd baby...

Here is the 2nd baby card I made ...I was trying to use a piece of vellum for this... I used C-effects to stick it on..it worked really well! 

It is in the water

So...... I have a lot of pregnant women around me! I can't believe it...so a couple of cards had to be made to show them how happy we are for them ...here is the first...and no I am not drinking the water.....

LOVE LOVE LOVE

These "Love you" cards are so perfect for the all ones you love!! There is so much going on this week...and to top it off the girls had  a "pro" day on Monday... I think we have everything ready for Ashleigh's birthday and I even have time for a Stampin up party tonight!! As you know Michelle is our SU Girl but we decided when she signed up that when we have a party we would take turns making the projects I will post mine tomorrow!! I had fun thinking of things that they haven't done....I think the girls will like it!!! 

All about the Heart!

Michelle has been feeling the love!! HA!! Here are a couple of her Valentines I think the heart will be a fast fave!!

about the fairies...

A friend of mine has done some wonderful x stitch and I asked if I could show it off ...So here it is....These are for her daughter..I think she is doing 5 for her....there is so much detail in these I hope you can see it!! I just love these.... thanks Doreen!

Kids Valentines!

I know in the world of blogs I am behind in Valentines!!! Everyone has been making love cards for weeks now!! So I am catching up!!! Michelle, Kathy and I make some kids cards !!! Here they are!! They are $3.50  for a pack of 8! Let me know if you need some for the kids in your life!!!

The last 2.. then no more of her birthday!!!!

Michelle made these for her ...one from our mom because she is still in boxes from the move..and the 2nd from Michelle...The butterfly is from Kathy!! The rose set is from Michelle ....I love both of these!!! For the BIG girl who turned 11!!

Ashleigh's birthday cards...

Yep I am going to show off again!! Here is the one Hailey made for her.....

Here are the ones I made ...the one with the butterfly is from me then I made the flower for my sis in law to give to her!!

Yep.. thats the card!!

Ok so that is the invite and I felt like I just made 100's of them but they look great and she is thrilled!! That makes me happy!!!

The Friends invite??

So for Ashleigh's friend birthday..on the 24th we have to make the invite!! I have this as the proto type...I am not sure if it is "the one" but I thought I would share......She is having a "Premiere" Party...so the girls are coming dressed up and we will have a makeup table and hair station. Then we will  have the paparazzi taking pictures... when the are glammed up we will have appies and then dinner and the movie!!! So we thought a rock and roll invite was a good idea!!!

My daughters Birthday...

It is Ashleigh's Birthday party for the Family today! We did celebrate in Disney but of course not all the family was there with us...so here we are doing another party....And if you are wondering we do have 1 more "friends" party at the end of the month! Busy, busy, busy!!! So much for a slow start to the new year!!! Just when you think I can't do anymore birthday parties....My father in law has his 80th this year!!! in just 2 weeks!! Yikes!! here is a party card! I haven't made Ashleigh's yet so this will have to do until I make it!!

More Friends!

Here are the next 2....

With friends....

I am getting together with some friends tonight ...They are people I have known for 25 years.. maybe a bit longer..We have not always talked through out the years and we don't always make the effort to see each other as much as we should ...but...all that same we we love each other and the fact we see each other at all is wonderful!! This set makes me think of them...I have made a set of 4....because there are 4 of them + me! Here are the first 2....

Winter at Disneyland...

I just wanted to share what we saw at Disneyland when you first walk to the end of Main Street!

Easy #2!!

Here are the rest for the 5 pack I made!!! I told you they are so quick I did them in about 20 mins.....I did fall in love with this paper and I am sorry I only have a bit left and I have no idea what kind it is!!! Oh well that is have the fun...buying more!!!

Quick and easy!!

I made a few quick and easy cards ...I wanted them to all be the same but different...What a big difference the layout makes!! Here are a couple ...I will post the others tomorrow!!

Plank walker!!!

So this is a bit brighter that the last post but I do think it is lots of fun and the DP works here......I am hooked on it and think I need a new self to hold all of my DPS.......Oh ya Baby...My hubby will freak out if I ask for more space!!! I am sure I am not the only one who has that problem......Right???

The Pirate in me!!

Ok if I was a Pirate I would be a blue and brown one!!! I love the DP and CC together and think it is a fun set for boys!!! It is hard to make for the teen boy ..but I have a few more years to go before I have to make those cards!!! 

Happy New Year!!

The first day of the year usually brings promises and hopes for the following year......I have decided to not do anything like that but I will be working hard to make this year as wonderful as last year and I know that that will bring all the happiness we need...I made the little girls cards yesterday and here is the older version...I think I will see if I can go a bit younger and do 3 next time...I think a princess in the same style would have been really cute....!
