H2H Creative Cards

Today over at Heart 2 Heart challenges we are featuring creative cards...so any card in any shape except your standard A2 card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

I personally love making little 3 x 3 cards. My hubby drives a semi over the road so he is gone for several days each week. I like having these on hand to I can toss them in his bag here and there. These are also fun to toss in a child's lunch or to attach to a gift bag.

3 x 3 cards are also a perfect way to use up your scraps. I have been having lots of fun with the new paper pack Something Fierce and with this card I added in the must have January Stamp of the Month Card Captions

Come and show us your cards we would love to see them over at H2H and make sure you check out the other designers too.

SNS Card Sketch #138

Hello there I a card to share with you today. My little ones birthday was last month and she just LOVES unicorns like ever other elementary school girl.

Here is a close up for you.

It is hard to see but I also have a scallop under the shaker. Next time I would probably make that a little bit more pronounced.

I also like to decorate the inside. My go to is the banners

I really had fun using this sketch #138 we would LOVE to see what you come up with.

SNS Layout Sketch #169 - Rawr means FUN

Here is what I came up with this week for this fun sketch. My daughter sends me photos of the grand-kids all the time and I have to say it is the highlight of my day! When I saw these pics of my youngest granddaughter I knew I had to use this adorable new Something Fierce paper from CTMH.

Here is a close up of the journaling block. 

I really enjoyed the details of this sketch, I just love stitching. One of my favorite new toys is the Decorative Border thin cuts. They add the extra little something here and there.

Here is the sketch, we would love to see what you come up with over at the Sketch N Scrap blog.

H2H - The Important Things...the Grandparent Version

Over at the Heart 2 Heart blog we decided to kick off the New Year with the Important Things. We could go any direction we wanted with this one and I decided to make a fun little mini album using a little tin that I got probably 15 years ago way back when Scrapbook Stores were on every corner.  So for 15+ years I have been waiting for just the perfect time to use this and what better use than featuring the sweet little grandbabies?

I used the fun new Something Fierce kit along with the puffy stickers {swoon-I had the best puffy sticker collection when I was in elementary school}

Here is the inside of the tin. This is the size of an Altoids tin so if you have any laying around you can re-purpose them into fun little mini albums.

The album is all connected in an accordion style and zig-zags back and forth.  I did every other "page" a photo of one of our grandbabies and the other "page" some hand written fun important things to remember as a grandparent..like eating desert first.

On the flip side I have the rest of our grandkids (we currently have 5) I also printed out a sibling photo of each of the families to include as well.

Here you can see the folds. I also just left the bottom empty since the album will sit in there.

Here is one final look at my little mini album featuring The Important Grandparent Things.

We would love to see what is important to you this month over at the Heart 2 Heart Blog.
