The Future Mrs. Shaver

I received an order for a Bridal Shower card where she wanted neutral colors and wanted it to be floral. This is what I came up with! I love how it turned out!

I used Studio Calico's "Classic Calico" for the majority of this card.

The letters are Basic Grey's Mico Mono Alphas. They're great for Project Life!!

 How great is this flower? I used my Silhouette Cameo and bought the 3D flower in the Silhouette Studio online store by Lori Whitlock. There are actually 6 layers to this flower. Every other layer is vellum.

I added some 1/2 pearls from Queen & Company to finish it off.

Project Life: Week 11 - March 12-18

 We're on Week 23 of Project Life already! I am still working on the middle of Week 20 though! Since I got so busy, I didn't have time to keep up with it. I did however get a chance to plan it out [click HERE to find out how I plan my weeks!]. I printed all my photos and wrote down all my journaling, it was just the putting it all together part that wasn't done.. so I'm in catch up mode now!

Here's my Week 11! Lots of Miss Pudge on this page! Don't you love that camera paper? It's by Echo Park! As always, love Simple Stories and Elle's Studio's Labels [If you haven't seen her stuff, you owe it to yourself to go check it out! click HERE to do so].

 The second half of the week was Klarye & I having a date! I then went to Joey's and had some delicious Reese's Cheesecake at a restaurant called Corky's. We ended the week with celebrating my boyfriend's niece's 18th Birthday! I also saw the issue of Paper Crafts Magazine that I was in at my favorite grocery store, Winco!

Here's my favorite card from this week. Klayre & I went to Target and she was playing a game on my phone.. and taking pictures, which I didn't know until later when I looked at my pictures!! Silly girl.

Week 8 - Feb. 19-25

Who's ready for week 8? 

I love the title card for this week... I used Basic Grey's "Out of Print" for it.

This week started off with my pup looking as cute as can be! It's a shame that he's not spoiled at all!

I spotted the issue of Paper Crafts at Joann's that I'm in! That was very exciting!! I probably looked crazy standing there in Joann's by myself!!

Joey and I went back to Disneyland after 4 months (which is a VERY long time for us!).

I made a Bathroom Bag out of a zipper pouch sheets came in and we went to the movies to see Movie 43. Don't see it by the way, I lost $6 and 2 hours of my life that night!! I do however like the card! I used Teresa Collins "Filmstrip" paper.

The bottom photo to the right of the movie tickets is a picture of me and the capris I bought... yeah, they were a little on the long side!!

This is my favorite card this week! My niece Klayre drew it for me. She said it's me making pancakes!

Project Life - Week 4 - January 22-28

Week 4 is here! Believe it or not, I am caught up to now, just sharing slowly!

This week was a slow week.. Kal wore Papa's shoes around the house, Klayre & I went to the Duck Pond to feed the ducks.. we had a blast! And the girls were coloring on the kitchen floor on a poster board. Good times!

Week 5 is coming up on Thursday!

It's your Birthday

I think I'm finally getting all caught up with everything! About time, right? 

I have some SUPER EXCITING NEWS! This weekend, I'll be attending CHA in Anaheim! It's just plain luck that I'm getting to go at all since it's not opened to the public. I've wished I could do this for years, I can't believe I finally get to go and I am already overwhelmed at the thought of the people I know are going to be there! Can't even wait!

For the first card of the year, I used the sketch for the January Card Challenge on Scrapbook.com that I came up with. As always, you can find them in the left column! If you're looking for my 2011 & 2012 sketches, follow my Card Sketch Pinterest Board, HERE.

  For this card, I used Basic Grey's "Clippings" and My Mind's Eye "Nostalgia" 6x6 pads, which I got from my Secret Santa, Amanda!! Thank You!!

An elephant in a party hat.. need I say more? You can't look at that without cracking a smile, it's impossible! This cutie is from Stampin' Up!'s "You're Amazing" stamp set, which you can see, HERE.

The grey paper from the circle is from Pink Paislee.

I added a couple pop dots under the party hat to give it some dimension.

The It's your Birthday stamp is from Lil' Inker Designs' Acorn Sentiments, which you can see, HERE.

Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 2

Today is our first day at sea!

Here's last years... check it out!

2011 - Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 2 

For this years card, I used GCD Studio's "Flower Child Plaid" paper and stamped Basic Grey's Cup of Tea Bitsy from their Nook & Pantry collection.

I made a pattern by stamping the spoon over and over to create a background!

I distressed the edges of the sentiment and inked it with some Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I used some Blue Berry Trendy Twine and finished it off with a button!

You're my cup of tea.

Before I get to my card I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to the best Mom ever made!!

 

 I made this card for the Scrapbook News & Review call for October.. to make a tea cup shaped card.

I sketched this out, that's why it's a but lopsided! lol.

I used Pink Paislee's "Hot Cocoa" paper from their "Cozy Sweater" collection. for the cup.

 

The spoon and sentiment are from Basic Grey's Nook & Pantry stamps.

I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and I used some Zva rhinestones as well.

Thank You!

More lifts from Pinterest? You betcha! There's so many great cards on there.. I just can't stop!

I lifted Cassie D'ambrosio's "Congratulations" card and turned it into a Thank You.

I used all Basic Grey's "Nook & Pantry" line. The stamp is from Fiskars.

AVM monogram Card

I made this card for a customer that wanted a Monogram Wedding card.

For the background paper, I used an old Basic Grey line called Two Scoops. I layered vellum on top of it to give it an even softer look and stitched around the edges.

I layered the Monogram and ran the vellum through the printer a couple times to make the "V" darker.

The ruffled crepe paper garland is from GCD Studios.
