MPS Birthday Challenge

Hi guys, this is just a quick post to show you this adorable birthday gift bag I made for a girl that I coach in soccer.  I also am going to enter it in the My Pink Stamper birthday challenge from her blog hop on Friday. 

I made this with her favorite colors in mind. The cartridges I used were: Plantain Schoolbook, Gypsy wanderings, and Doodlecharms.  The white paper is from Doodlebug and the rest is from my scraps.  The ribbon is from my stash and I just used a white gel pen for the outline. 

It is filled with some fun treats to celebrate.  I will have a lot more of these in the near future.  We have a lot of girls on our team.  And quite a few birthdays coming up.

MPS Blog Hop

Hello everyone, long time no see.  I am sorry it has been so long.  All of my good intentions of posting all the time got put on hold from some big projects I was put in charge of doing; and I am still trying to get over a cold too. 

I was able to quickly put together this card for the Blog hop over on My Pink Stamper.  The challenge was to make something with spring colors or your interpretation of spring.  Well, when I think of spring I think of flowers and butterflies. I really like how this card turned out.  You could use it for a number of different things; a birthday, thinking of you, thank you, etc.  I think I am going to use it for a mother's day card. 

The whole card was made using my scraps so I don't know where I got the paper from, except the printed flower paper is from a DCWV paper stack.  I used stickles on the butterfly; it came from the gypsy wanderings cart, and the flowers are from the plantin schoolbook cart.  I just used basic white brads for the centers of the flowers and popped up the flowers with pop dots. 

Hope you enjoy it.  C-ya tomorrow!

Babee shower gift

I went to a really fun baby shower on Saturday for one of my Young Women girls I used to teach.  To think that all those girls are old enough to be getting married and having children makes me feel old.  Time really flies.  She had a bee theme to her shower.  I made her a cute card and matching gift bag.  It was a lot of fun to do and I hope you like it.

The bees are actually from the invitation I recieved.  I just cut them out and used them on the project.  I used plantain schoolbook cart for the letters,  and I used an ek success border punch for the black trim.  I inked the edges with a black stampin up ink pad.

Portrait Page

Hey,
Sorry it took so long. But this is a page I did with our latest family photo taken just this September.

I always get our pictures done every year.  With the 8x10's I do a 12x12 layout and then frame them and put them on my wall.
I will post each one as I get them done and then I will do a post of the finished results.

Hope you like them and maybe get some inspiration for your 8x10's.

All the paper is just what I have in my stash.
The J was from the Plantain Schoolbook cart.
Swirl pattern is a roller stamp from stampin up and I used clear embossing powder on it.
