Cards

Hear are some recent creations. The kids finished their day camps and needed to make a few thank you cards for the counselors. The golf card was for my son's coach for golf camp. And the other cards are for daughter's three counselors. DD enjoyed her first trip to day camp and had a story to tell each day she came home.

 I used some new stamps I recently purchased from Michaels and the pink butterfly I made at a Stampin' Up demo. It was the sketch I used for the other cards.

The golf card has a cutout from Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge and used a BH Project Life card to mount the image onto.

Baby card

I made this card for my mom to give to my sister who had a baby last week. My sister did her new daughter's room in carousel horses so I thought this card was as close as I could get to the theme. My sister also loves unicorns. I got the unicorn cutout from the Cricut Paisley cartridge and the Congratulations stamped image is from a set that came with a magazine I got a few years ago. I also used gold Stickles to dress up the horn and hooves.

New Creations

My youngest sister & I agreed to make something homemade this year for gifts. Since she's a HUGE Harry Potter fan & all I made her a birdcage with a white dove hanging inside using the Serenade Cricut cartridge. I can't remember what cartridge the dove came from, but I used white flock to make it more interesting. My sister loved it

Seth also has been crafty lately & has made a few designs on mugs using Sharpie markers. He's made them for his grandparents, aunts & uncles. Got the idea from http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com. 
Be careful which colors you use. The lighter colors changed color once the mugs were baked in the oven. Stay away from pastels

A Shower of Blessings

I made these for my cousin to go with the gifts my mom, sister & I gave her for her shower.

I used Damask Cricut cartridge for this design

I used an embossing folder  to make the dress interesting

 

I used Elegant Edges & Wild Card for this design

New Year's Layout

I made this layout using some pictures taken on New Year's Eve. Jim had been working an overnight client & Scotia just started sleeping through the night. So Seth was my date for the night & was such a trooper to stay up with me till midnight.

We had fun playing video games & watching the ball drop in Times Square on TV. I also got a DSLR camera for Christmas & just figured out how to use the timer on it that evening. I used papers from DCWV Snapshot stack along with a few SMASH* items (clock tape & journal spot)

Moon Sand

On a rainy day awhile back, I knew I had to do something with the kids to keep them occupied. I found a recipe on Pinterest for Moon Sand, and with the kids help we made a batch. Just 8 cups flour mixed with 1 cup baby oil in a large bowl until the dough holds together. My kids played with this for at least an hour
