How about some cards

I have been scrapbooking lately and I have also been trying to use up my scraps after I am done. Here are some cards I made recently using up the rest of another PS kit.

This first card is just a fun little card I can send to a friend to say hello. It uses the cute little set from the Twitterpatted Workshop on the Go. I also did that generation stamping with a twist on the hedgehogs back but you can't really tell.

This next card is very busy...I mean really really busy with just little squares all over but I have to say I really like how it turned out. Also my girls loved this one so it would be a great teen card or maybe even a masculine card. I added some glitter to the cupcake and the rest is just basic stamping.

next up a card with no stamping what-so-ever I just covered a chipboard flower and tied on a button and wala fun little card for any occasion.

Today I thought I would share a few cards that I am going to be featuring at my VIP Catalog Kickoff party!

Actually my last few posts have been some sneek peeks into my Daydream display. I joined a swap and I choose daydream all because I loved this paper. I loved that it was green and pink (my favorites) and the stripes kind of made it look like ribbon. There is another paper in this Level 2 paper pack that is just pure fun. So because of the paper this was my choice.

Anyway when I got it delivered to my door step and looked at it I was like ruh ro' because it was not something that I might normally pick. It was very pretty but I wasn't so sure what I should do. I needed to make this great wow swap with one stamp set (Cupcake Sprinkles) and one level 2 paper pack. I also got the cute ribbons and the little pins that I am totally in love with.

I started thinking...and thinking...and thinking some more. I knew right away that the paper screamed birthday an since my little on turned one. Since I was in birthday mode I came up with this card. I made a cute little scallop edge and added some chip board circles. I also used the chocolate alphabet on the inside of my card.

My new obsession with cards...finishing the inside. When ever I show my mom one of my cards she always opens it and says...what nothing inside? So now if I don't finish the inside I can hear her like she is standing on my shoulder or something. haha. My grandma is on my other shoulder telling me to sign the back so that people know who made the card.

For my next card I really wanted to do some thing a little bit different. I loved the little froggies and the princess in the stamp set Happy Endings but alas I didn't buy that one so what is a girl to do? Well cut the frogs out of the paper of course! Have you noticed the new thing to do in scrapbooking is to cut up your patterned paper and make your own embelishments? Well why not do that with cards too?

I added some pop dots and put my little frog prince on my card and wala...easy peasy. I also added a few stitches using Simple Stitches. This card came together very quickly. I added a little sentiment from He Said, She Said and put in a few creamy brads and then onto the inside where I just wrote "in you" since I didn't have a stamp that said that.

My last card for the day is a fun little cupcake card. I used the Daydream paper, Cupcake Sprinkles, and some Liquid Glass. I also added some ric rack down the side and some bling on the cupcake holder.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these cards I certainly had a great time making them.

Dare to Daydream!

Happy New Year! Can you believe it is already 2009? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season.


Hopefully you are not tired of reading about babies birthdays because I decided that I just had to scrapbook a few of my favotire pictures with CTMH's new Daydream paper along with the stamp set Cupcake Sprinkles (a must have).


I decided these will go into the family album. I am going to make her a cute little mini book soon filled with more photo's, her cards, and the little signature page that I had everyone sign when they came in.





Here is a close up of my favorite part of the page. I love the way the title came out. The title is made up of the Friendship Alphabet from CTMH stamped in Blush and the word birthday is a font using my new Christmas toy cut out in Sweet Leaf. I decided that the candle would be a perfect "i" and then I added some bling and some frosting...i.e. Liquid Glass to the cupcake and wala...a yummy little title.

I am trying to journal more on my pages. I don't know why I find it so hard I have kept a journal since I was 10 but I guess it is because I am worried about spelling and punctuation. A while back I decided that it is what it is and that I do make errors it is part of who I am so I catch what I can and don't worry about the rest. I try to make it my own writing most of the time as I love to see my ancestors handwritten document's.


Now that I have the end of 2008 scrapbooked I am going to start at the begining. What type of pages are you working on?
