SO EXCITED!! :)

I have been waiting all week and I finally got it! My Stampin' Up starter kit arrived today and I can't wait to play with all the new supplies I got. I was so excited that I took pictures of all the stuff. I even put all my new stamps together and labeled all of the stamps, ink pads, and all the other tools I got too :) ... if you would like to place a Stampin' Up order and receive the preferred pricing, please let me know so that I can get that for you :)

I'll post up the pictures another time (I haven't uploaded them yet).

Oh another note, here is a birthday card that I put together for my co-worker, Sarah :) For a short period of time we shared an office, and for a short period of time she was even my "boss" lol. I hope you had a wonderful birthday Sarah, you deserve it! :)

I used tweezers to try and hold the cad shut so that you would be able to see the contrast :)

 Have a good night everyone!

Happy Crafting :)

Get Well Soon!

I can't believe that it's already the last day of February! This morning I was SUPER excited to find out the March is National Craft month! :)

I made this card a while ago for my cousin Lani. I know, it doesn't really scream "get well soon" but I decided to put a horse on it because the last time she visited we went horseback riding, and until she gets better we can't go horseback riding. So I was hoping it would serve as an inspiration for her to get better so that she can come visit and we can go on the longer horseback riding trail :)

 It's going to be a VERY busy month but I'm really excited about National Craft month. Feel free to leave a comment and share how you'll celebrate National Craft month :)

TV Buddy!

This post is LONG overdue! I made this card for one of my former co-workers. We didn't work together for a long time but thanks to a "Speed Meeting" activity, we found out that we both watch the same shows!! :) We a few of us would all recap episodes and try to figure out what was going to happen next. lol So when I heard that she was offered an amazing opportunity it was bittersweet, I'm happy and proud of her, but sad she isn't down the hall to talk to. Nicole, this one is for you! I miss you!

I used Create a Critter for the puppy and bone and the polka dot Cuttle Bug folder for the blue background. I was excited when she said that it was just like her dog! :)

Birthdays!

Finally, a new blog post! My SD card reader was acting up and I wasn't able to upload any new pictures until today (thanks Matt!). Anyway, there have been a few birthdays since the last time I posted, here are the cards that I made for the celebrants.

This card is for Chari. I had a really hard time with this card because all I knew was that it had to be a cupcake and have yellow and orange on it. I used a cupcake from the Sweet Treats cartridge and of course I had to add some "bling" (stickles) on it! :)

This birthday card was for Alondra, Matt's niece, she turned 1 in January :) I used Create a Critter for the bear. If you don't have Create a Critter yet, you need to go get it. There are so many images for different occasions and it's super easy to layer! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! :) This card took a while for me to make because I wanted the roses to pop out a little more so I brushed the edges with and ink pad and also tried to curl the edges of each of the roses.

So, I'm not sure if she even got this card yet, but I'm going to post it anyway! lol Happy Birthday Joanne! I tried to make a macaroon but it ended up looking like a burger! So, I ended up making another cupcake :) 

I'll try and do another post in the next couple days. I'm excited to go to my first workshop with a Stampin' Up demonstrator on Monday! :) We're going to be making some cards so hopefully I can get a couple posted on here.

Have a great weekend everyone!
