{ 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!

{ latest creations }

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!

{ pink pages }

So I've got a lot of catching up to do on Angie's scrapbook and so I'm just trying to get these pages done because I've been putting them off for a long time. You know how there are just certain pictures that aren't your favorite or something and you just don't ever get around to it? Well that's how these first two pages are and I'm proud to say that I completed them, except for the journaling. Notice how the theme is pink? I can assure you that there will be lots more where that came from! I love pink! And it's a better alternative to purple in my opinion. It's never been my favorite color, but I'll use it every now and then. I really like how that last page came out, maybe it's because I love that picture! :) I'm really getting into stamping on my pages, so all the flourishes that you see are my doing. I got a new stamp set the other day and decided to try it out. I also love the quote on there, It's so true! Hope everyone had a great day!

{ finally some scrapbooking... }

It's been months since I've done any scrapbooking, so finally I pulled out my unfinished pages and completed this the other day. It's not my favorite, but it's cute. All I need to do is add the journaling and I'll have to do that when we get a new printer. Anyway, just thought I'd share this with everyone, obviously I'm a little, no scratch that... a lot behind on my scrapbooking! But at least I'll always have something to do, right?
