Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 26th birthday!  My day included breakfast with my hubby at a fun little diner downtown, perusing through some fun antique stores, and lunch with some sweet friends!  It was a great day!  And to top it all off my mom got her May issue of Creating Keepsakes in the mail!  

I didn't even know this issue was out yet but I was so excited to see one of my pages made the front of their "Seasonal Solutions" section!  So fun!  It is a great little section all about motherhood and creating pages that reflect our jobs as moms.  It is definitely an issue worth checking out!  

So, I thought I would share this page with you today.  It is the coordinating page that goes with the page which was published in Creating Keepsakes <---click here and you will see my page on the scrolling slideshow too!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Summertime cards & my 1st PUB!!!

So, obviously I didn't get around to posting more of my summer cards over the weekend, but here are two more.  I finally pulled out this CTMH stamp that I had sitting in my stamp stash but hadn't used yet!  Isn't it a fun stamp?

Oh, and I have some EXCITING NEWS!!!  My first two cards have been published by Scrapbook Trends!  I have one card in their March Issue and one in their You're Invited Idea Book.  I am a bit sad cause I haven't gotten my copies in the mail yet but I saw them in our local scrapbook store today!  I feel so honored to have had the chance to get published and am quite excited for further future opportunities!  

I am hoping to have a giveaway soon to celebrate!  Check back over the next couple days for a chance to win some yummy scrappy supplies!

ABC...

Hello!  Just thought I would hop on here real quick to show you the card I managed to find time to make this week using Kazan's sketch over at 2S4Y.  I'm still in the process of getting my new scraproom organized but I had to stop and create something real quick in order to give myself a boost of motivation.  Now if I could just figure out how to motivate my hubby  to hang some shelves for me...hmm...any ideas?

Hope you're all having a great Thursday!

All supplies by Cosmo Cricket except button by Making Memories & floss by Karen Foster.  I also used my Cuttlebug for the little embossing.
Aren't

I'm back...

For the most part we are settled into our new house.  I still have a little organizing and A LOT of cleaning to do but our internet is  hooked up and my scraproom is somewhat organized (I'll show photos once it is finished.  It is the only room we have painted in the house so far and I am really happy with the colors!  I am hoping that I will be able to start creating a few new projects here soon but this week I am going to be busy planning our son's first birthday party.  I will post pictures soon of the invitations I sent out and the little party favors I am making using recycled baby food jars.  We have lots of family coming into town for the celebration...it should be fun!

Here is a page that I created before we moved.  This was the picture I used on our Christmas card this year!  The photo was taken by my amazingly talented photog friend Ellie Grover!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday!

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!
