{ for Alisha... }

My good friend and old roommate, Alisha ordered some cards from me and I've finally completed them! I tried to keep with the "not-too-cutesy" and sort of "shabby chic" style that she liked. Hope you enjoy Alisha... I had fun creating them! :)

{ hair clip fever! }

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to teach ladies how to make hair clips in my parent's ward. I had so much fun teaching them and I think they enjoyed it too! Every one's hair clips turned out fabulous and I'm pretty sure everyone went home happy! After I got home that night I obviously caught the hair clip fever because I made 14 clips before going to bed! My fingers were so incredibly tired after all that gluing, but it was worth it of course! Angie has a lot of flower clips, so I decided to make the "sleek" or "sophisticated" bows (as I call them) just to shake things up a bit! I did make a couple of flower ones too, but mostly bows, something a little different which is always nice! Here they are all finished.. so Enjoy!

{ fresh from the patch... }

My new friend Traci and I created these birth announcements for her baby boy, who was born 3 weeks ago! Congrats! I had created this originally with my other friend Tiffany in Rexburg when her little boy was born and it turned out so cute that when Traci saw it, she wanted to make them for her baby Kaden! I'm so glad they turned out just as cute as the first ones with a few minor changes! Thanks Traci for letting me create with you!

It says "fresh from the patch..." and then inside it says, "Our little pumpkin was born on..." with all the birth information of course! So it's kind of a card and announcement all in one!

{ polka-dot birthday }

I love everything about this card... polka dots, buttons, ribbon, flowers and birthdays! I guess I love embellishments! It's pretty simple too, but sometimes simple is best! I think it turned out super cute for my friend's birthday! I know I've been making tons of cards lately, but I feel like that's all that I've had time for right now. Don't worry though... I have other projects in the works, hopefully I can complete them soon so I can post something other than cards! In the meantime... enjoy!

{ Happy Halloween! }

A few cards I sent to relatives for Halloween. Usually when I send things out for the holidays I'm behind, but for once I'm early! I was determined not to be late this time! They turned out pretty cute... even though Halloween is supposed to be scary! I don't do scary very well!

{ pick-a-pocket tote }

My Mom and I found the pattern for this new tote... I have to say that it's my new favorite because it's got pockets on the outside and it's pretty easy to make too! I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday. Of course I had to make a matching change purse and tissue holder! Happy Birthday Lena! I hope you enjoy!



Oh and I almost forgot, here's a little purse that I made for my niece Taylor's birthday. She's turning 4 next week, I can't believe she's that old! She's a cutie! Hopefully she likes her present! Happy Birthday Tay!

Here are a couple of new cards I've made recently and a birthday invitation I created for John's grandma's 80th birthday celebration. My favorite card is the thank you card that I made using my new alphabet stamps!
