Paradise

We have had a of couple really warm, beautiful days here lately and I LOVE it!  I have realized lately that I am just kind of sick of winter!  Mixed in the with those warm days has been really cold, rainy days.  Just a sign that spring is coming and then summer! I can't wait to lay in the warmth of the sun and take refreshing dips in the pool.  Anyway, in light of how I am feeling about our changing seasons I decided to pull out some fun supplies and whip up some summer cards!

I made this card using Laura's sketch over at 2S4Y.  The flowers are cut from some K & Company Paper and the stamp is one of my favorites from CTMH.  It is a super simple card with very few supplies needed.  Gotta love that!  

Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!  I hope to be back more this weekend to share the rest of my summer cards with you!

Supplies:

Paper: K & Company

Stamp: CTMH (Paradise)

Love Birds

Well, I guess I can't get enough of these cute love birds by Kim Hughes!  Here is another card I used them on!  

Just wanted to let you know I may be a bit of a ghost here on my blog over the next couple of weeks!  My husband and I decided this past weekend that we are going to be moving in TWO WEEKS!  So, needless to say I have a lot to do over the next couple weeks with packing and planning our son's 1st birthday party!  I will try to stop by here and show you a few things I have been working on, but hopefully I will be back going strong once we get settled.  We are moving out of our little two bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom house with a pool!  Which means I will have MY OWN SCRAP-ROOM!  Well, at least until another baby comes along.  :)  

Don't forget I have lots of stamps for sale!  See this post or check my Etsy Store!

Hope are are all having a great Tuesday!

The last of the presents!

Here are the last two Christmas presents that I made for some men in my life!  Sorry the pictures are kind of yellow.  The first is a bookmark I made for my husband.  He said all he wanted for Christmas we for me to make him a bookmark with a picture of our son and I on it along with something reminding him of how much he has to be thankful for!  Isn't that so sweet?!  So here is what I came up with, and he loved it!  :)

This second present I made for my dad.  He is one of those guys that is never in want for anything...just always content with what he has.  I made him this frame using a photo matte I had  sitting around and put it on a little easel.  I think he liked it!

Here comes TROUBLE...

Having a baby has made scrapbooking even more fun for me!  This is one of my favorite layouts that I have done with pictures of my son.  We were given this book at a baby shower and it is honestly the coolest book.  It is called The Dangerous Book for Boys and it is full of great ideas of fun and crazy activities to do with boys.  Of course we haven't gotten to really use it yet because it is more for elementary and middle school aged boys but my husband and I can't wait to use some of the ideas!  If you have boys you should definitely check it out!

Anyway, one day (when my son had just figured out how to crawl) he went over to the bookshelf and pulled this particular book off the shelf.  It made me chuckled because the picture he made with the book described exactly how I was beginning to feel now that he was crawling.  My whole world seemed to be changing with his mobility and ability to get into everything and explore everything!  I know having grown up with three brothers that a world with boys is full of danger, adventure, exploration, and fun!

This card was inspired by one of my favorite blogs by Dawn McVey.  If you haven't seen her site then you should check it out.  She is so creative!  I just love how she made this simple, yet elegant monogrammed card.  Here is my take on her design.
