Mother's Day card

A quick card this sunday morning for mother's day. Using the "My mind's eye" collectable line pattern papers. Heart is dry embossed. Inside is blank. For some reason I feel I don't do balance as well, when I'm out of my norm of "cute" papers.  Wish I could do more than just cute.

What are your plans this fine sunday? Laundry and scrapping are the hot ticket items here! Hope today is lovely~

 



I just love love making mother's day cards. I also love slapping together random bright whimsical patterns and see what comes out of it! I'm really going over board with my button flower but they're so fun and easy to make. A  punch, and a button. A monkey could do this!

Inside says "I'd pick you" 

Next is a card using one of my favorite dry embossed embellishments. The little antique truck with a bunch of flowers in the back. Looks like they're coming back from the flower market.

 Inside says "So happy you are mine! "

 

Too many patterns and I'm on pattern overload.

The floral and heart pattern paper is from DOODLEBUG of course, and the black poka dot and yellow poka dot is from BO BUNNY.

My two favorite scrapbooking companies! 

 

Thanks for looking~ 



 



Mother's day is coming on fast! Made up some sweet little paper bouquets. The are just on simple picks. Buttons are from Joanns, picks from hobby lobby. The bucket I got from Target awhile back. The filler can be anything from m&m's, sixlets, skittles, or even white rice. The filler I have is from a floral store.  A bouquet that can last a life time! :)

Here's a few things I've been busy with today. I'm not the best at shabby chic, or "cottage chic" but I oh, so LOVE the look. So, I tried.  LOL. Top picture is some same sex wedding/shower/engagment cards I was asked to do. Kept it real simple and well... a towel bar with hearts? My normal "cute".

Hope you have a wonderful monday! 

Wow... talk about Blog Neglect!

I'll never make it in blogland, if I don't put some work into this puppy. First of all, Happy Easter to everyone. I hope this weekend was a restful and peaceful weekend to my 2 readers. LOL.

Here is some easter bunny inspiration for you! All made w/dry embossing! Thank you for looking and take care!

I'm "Buggin Out" today!

First of all, my oldest son turns 14 today! I'm still a little floored I have a 14 year old. Such a sweet kid, he takes after his mom. :)  



I've been busy making bugs! Cute bugs, bumble bees, boy bugs and love bugs! So much fun! And believe me... I'm not fond of most bugs. Except these lil' dudes and dudettes.  Hopefully they'll go over well!   Now I'm off to figure out something sweet for the birthday boy. He's not fond of cake and it would be a 30 minute drive to get some Krispy Kremes....  hmmm.... have a wonderful day~

Merry New Year! er somethin....

It's 2013! Just how productive have you been today, on this very 1st day of the new year? I actually got quite alot done. I also came up with this idea to start a new etsy shop which I call prettypennysacks. It started with those little merchandise bags you see people altering. Mom told me how, back in the 50's, those were the sacks she used to get her penny candy in. They are just cute, and adorable, and how could I not just "pretty" them up? So, we'll see how 2 etsy shops go. Got lots done in my first shop also with new valentine's day embellishments.

Other than that, watched part of the Husker Capital One Bowl. It looked promising but my Huskers just couldn't get it done this year. They lost to Georgia 31-45.  After the game, hubby and I took the boys to the movies to see Monsters, Inc. in 3D. Loved it! Doesn't matter that I have seen it a bazillion times, seeing it in 3D is SOOOO much better. Hayden even got a little teary-eyed when Sully had to say goodbye to Boo. We are such a disney family. (heart) :-)

So, what are YOUR scrapbooking goals this year? Have any? Tell me all about it! And as Tigger would say.... T.T.F.N.  .... Ta ta for now.
