Stitching...

I wanted to show you this ..I made it last year for my mom...I made it into a stool...I was fun to make I think it looks good. What do you think??

Bear's birthday

I thought I would share these pics. My daughters had a birthday party for Ben the bear and they had 65 guests...here are some of the pics they took.....the birthday bear is in there somewhere....they were told the party was the best party the bears had been too....with all those guests I believe it!!!

puppy love

What a puppy...so adorable...I really like the paws in the background!! Fun! We are at another competition this weekend and the girls are doing really well....They love to dance and I think they want to do more classes next year...yikes for me!! That means more hours at the studio and higher fees!! Oh well they love it and we would let them take as many classes as they want...it makes them happy and keeps them out of trouble!!!

Michelle's woody..

This is Michelle's thank you card for Ryo's first birthday....so nice!! I love the punch of color...if you look back at the invites they of course match the thank you!! I think that this was the second or third before she was happy with it ...it is perfect...what do you think??

a truck...

I have been making "boy" cards for a bit...I have to say it is nice to not make a card with flowers, princess or with anything pink on it... So this is my truck...not much to say about it...I love the in-color papers for all kids cards!! It just works...Thanks for looking....Oh ya.. I have an update...Kathy is in San Diego for a cousin's wedding!!! Congrats to the whole family!! Wish we were there it is sunny and hot and I think the went swimming today...Not fair ... I won't post pics but I will tell you I know they looked beautiful...Oh ya the bride and groom will look great as well!!! Just kidding...

christening cards #2

Yes another one from Michelle ...she made this for my brother to give....he is not much of a crafter but he can draw like a madman...anyway more embossing of every kind in this card ..I think that ribbon is out of the catalogue so that means she is breaking out her ribbons ....finally. Thanks for looking!!! 

christening cards

Michelle has made some beautiful cards for my Cousin's baby's Christening day...I don't think the grammar is correct but it was all I could come up with....I need to go back to grade 4 I think....ok moving on....the cards has a wack of embossing...way too beautiful Michelle...Thanks for sharing.

A big thanks to Lisa  www.lisasedlic.com for her order..Check out her website...She is a regular customer of ours and we like to share with you...here are some of the cards we made for her to help boost her business.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

I guess I was feeling a bit "dark" they other day I was making random cards and this is what I came up with...Ya... gray, black and green. Not the colors that you would normally think of for a thank you card but it seems to work...I am in love with the DP ....

Ok last one....

I had to share these bunnies I totally cased them from SCS but they were too cute...and if anyone askes I will let them know I thought them up all by myself!! Oh ya you know I am like that... I got the Chicks from the dollar store and filled them with chocolate... Yummie! What do you think ...did the Kiddies eat them up!!

Only 2 more Easter posts!

Michelle water colored these cute bunnies and I felt I needed to share them...Mostly because if I didn't I would never hear the end of it!! Hee..Hee...So here they are!!

I know I have been crazy busy the last few weeks and have forgotten to show you the birthday cards that Ryo got...I showed you mine... so I will in the next two days show you the res... here they are. This is Michelle's...

A Christening card

We made a Christening cards for a customer last week and we didn't want to post it and wreck the surprise so.... Now.... here it is!! She wanted it fairly crisp and simple and to the point and I think that is what this card is. We did it in a postcard style so it would be easy to read and put on the fridge or bulletin board...so Nobody will miss it!! What do you think??

my boy bots!!

this in a new one as well...I can't get enough of this little guy I think he will be my next 'nephew' birthday card. I have so many ideas for him I can't wait to show you!! What do you think?? cute huh??

love this stamp!

I think I love these because they remind me of two thing..the first my sister...I know sappy right...but true. The second is it reminds me of my girls when they were little. That is sappy as well so I guess that is me!!! I always have fun water coloring these two.

The lion and the rocket ship

These are a couple of the new stamps I got I am loving the 'clear' stamps!! This one came with an assorted animal/boyish theme...I fell in love with a couple so here are two of them...really fun to do...

The second set

Here is the second set Michelle has made as a set..of course I haven't posted the full sets that would be too much...but I think these give a great idea for anyone trying to put some together.
