I'm Back!

FINALLY!  After a very long break, I am back to crafting!  I will try to post more regulary.  We do have our house up for sale and hope to move over the summer.  But, I am going to try harder to post more!

Today, I have a Mother's Day card for you.  I got my inspiration from the Mojo Monday blog last week.  All of the paper and ink are from Stampin' Up.  The sentiment is Paper Trey Inc. and the flowers are Creative Memories. 

Disney Layout

I am back after taking a few days break.  I did go to a crop on Saturday, so I have several layouts to share.  I have noticed that I don't really get comments on my layouts.  Y'all either don't like layouts or you don't like mine, but I'm sharing anyway!  This is my layout of Tom Sawyer Island.  I used Old West's board font to cut the title and then I took a sliver pen and put dots where the nails should be.  I also used Very Merry Tags to cut the tag, then I inked it with Colorbox ink and hand wrote "Explore" on it.  I tied it to the picture with Paper Trey Inc. rustic twine.  The green pattern is from CTMH and I also inked it.  The journaling box is CM.

You Rock Birthday Card

My son has a birthday party to attend tonight.  Boy cards are hard, but one for a 9 year old is even worse!  Since I had already made a "You Rock" card earlier, I decided to stick with that!  This card can also be used for Paper Playtime's You Rock Challenge.  I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the boy and guitar.  I tried to make the boy look like my son's friend.  To help with that, I inked his hair with Colorbox chalk ink.  I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the face.  The saying from Paper Trey Inc. and the ink is SU.  All my paper was scraps! 

Gotcha Day Card

Yesterday was Gotcha Day at our house.  Gotcha Day is the day that we took custody of our son, Travis.  We celebrate just like a bithday, but on a smaller scale.  This is the card that I made for him.  I used the Smiley Cards cartridge to cut the guitar.  I added embroidry thread for the strings.  The stamp is Paper Trey Inc.  The ink is SU.  Most all the paper is scraps except the black and white checkered and it is from the Paper Studio.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

"Hot" Card

The card swap this month over at Paper Crafting Mania was a "hot" card. Since I live in Texas and it's been 107 here, I used the sun for my "hot"! The sun came from Life's A Beach. I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face and inked the edge of the circle with SU ink. I added Stickles for some glimmer! The clouds came from Mickey and Friends. The stamp is Paper Trey Inc. The best part-I used all scraps to make this card!


For the next 4 days, I'll be on retreat! I should have lots of pages to share next week!
