Happy New Year 2014

I know it' been a while since I have made a post, but time simply got away from me. I am happy to say that it is my goal to post a bit more often.  However, even though, I didn't post I did do a few things and I want to share them with you now.

These are the place cards I made for Thanksgiving dinner. I was going for the snow globe look.

Here are the Christmas cards I made for mailing out.

We had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations in our new house and I just have to say I enjoyed it so much.  It was a little chaotic, but fun.  I look forward to doing that again next year. I wanted to share some of the pictures from our family celebrations.

Last but certainly not least are a couple pictures from our New Years Day Lunch. We made sure we had our greens, black eye peas, ham and cornbread. It was so yummy.

This is at my brother and sister in-laws house. Unfortunately, my honey couldn't be with us, he was working.

I want to wish everyone a wonderful and prosperous New Year and give BIG hugs to you all.

Birthday Card For My Nephew

Hello my friends, I have another card for you. This one is for my nephew who turned 10 on October 9th. It's usually so hard for me to figure out what to do for males no matter what their age is. I decided to make my nephew a card themed around Halloween. The card is 6x6 in size and I made the owl at 5.75, I realized I should have made the owl a little smaller, but it's good, he still loved it. Even though, my nephew is just 10, he really loves getting my homemade cards.

I also utilized my envelope punch to make the envelope. I  used 3 action wobbles to give it a little jiggle.

I hope you like  my project, I really enjoyed making it.  Have a wonderful day and BIG HUGS to you all.

Stampin Up Stamp and Punch

Good morning my friends, I hope everyones weeks is go well, my time off is just starting. A couple of weeks ago I hosted my first scrapbooking gathering in my new craft room. One of the things that I really needed to do was get some cards made. I had just recently bought from my friend, who just became a Stampin Up consultant, the stamp set Four Frames and the decorative punch that goes with it. I decided to make 4 cards using the one set.

 
The top left for a good friend, the next one for my brother in-law, next for my best friend and the last one for my Mother In-Law.

I just recently bought the envelope punch and made the envelopes, I am really loving that punch board, it's so easy to use.

The cards with their special envelopes. I ended up not using the stamp set for the Love card, but did make the envelope.

I hope you like my projects, I really enjoyed making them.

Have a great day and BIG HUGS to you all.

Another Birthday Card

Another post for you. This is a birthday card that I made for a friend of mine. Again, I went old school and stamped the image and colored with Copic markers. I just thought this stamp was so cute and since I do like kitties I felt this was perfect to depict me and my friend.

I didn't have the ribbon I wanted for this card and ended up cutting a strip of paper instead. I also loved that I had these flowers and I've had them forever. I just love using things I've had for a while.

Everyone have a wonderful day and BIG HUGS to you all.

Just Because Card

Good evening my friends. I am hoping everyone is having a good week. I was off today and managed to get a few things accomplished.

In one of my recent posts I made a card for my boss who was relocated to Chicago. I decided to send her a card welcoming her to her new home. I decided to go back to basics and stamped an image for the card. I also heat embossed the image.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and BIG HUGS to you all.

Project Life Album

Good evening my friends. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Back in April my son got married, it was an outdoor wedding.  Even though we are in North Florida, South Georgia it usually isn't very cold, chilly, but not cold. Well it was one of the coldest days we had in a long time, along with it raining. Luckily, the rain stopped and everything went off without a hitch. The following weekend was just as nice and warm as it could be. Oh well it was a very memorable day.

I decided to use my small Project Life album to place their wedding pictures. Since they both had been married before they decided to have a small intimate wedding. Which worked perfectly for the smaller album.

Please pardon the flash reflection, I tried without the flash and was to dark and the many photos.

I used a rub on for the fairy tale beginning.

The theme of the wedding was based on Beauty and the Beast.

Because most of the photo slots are landscape I just rotated the portrait photos so I could use most of the them..

I hope you enjoyed my album. I really enjoyed putting it together. I have a  12x12 album that I am looking forward to using.

Have a good night everyone and BIG HUGS to you all.

Birthday Card

A very good friend of mine recently had a birthday. I made her this card, but just now am able to post it. I didn't want her to see it before her birthday.  My girl friend really likes handbags, she has quite a few, so I decided this would be perfect for her.

I'm off work for the next few days and I am hoping to be able to get into my craft room and get more cards made and posted. 

BIG HUGS to you all.
