Birthday Card {hybrid}

My latest card creation is with a kit coming out tomorrow (3/25) at 9th and Bloom by Jennifer Fox and Christy Lyle.  The card is from the boy part of the bundle.  I absolutely love the fun colors and elements in this kit and I am sure you will too!  I kept it fairly simple; just cutting out the sentiment and cupcake by hand, tying the twine on and around the cardstock (not the base), and adding the red button.  Sometimes simple is best!

Happy Birthday Card {hybrid} - SSSC109

Here is my entry for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch.  This is a card from a blog post I originally made for Jennifer Fox Designs' about faux stitching which can be viewed here.  I added some ribbon over the gift box as well as some stickles on the ribbon part of the gift.

Smile Card {hybrid}

The Mojo Monday Blog has a new sketch out for this week - Sketch 181.

 I used Jennifer Fox's 'She's My Sister' on this card and I love how it turned out.  I even added in some hand-stitching.  I love when I have the time to add that in!  The scalloped circle was cut out with my Silhouette SD.

Thanks for looking!

Many Thanks Card {hybrid}

Well this little card is so cute (in my humble opinion), hehe.  I went off of the Sweet Sunday Sketch 106 and used the new kit coming out tomorrow at 9th and Bloom from Jennifer Fox Designs called She's My Sister.  I also used the latest release from Arty Pants Digital Stamps called Card Sentiments Digital Stamps.  I used my Silhouette SD to cut the scalloped shape.

Get Well Soon Card {hybrid}

This card took me awhile to make.  I wanted to work with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch but I didn't want to do a circle or square card, so it took me some time to get this just right.  I'm not sure if it is exactly how I planned it out to be, but I do like the end result.  The colors are fun and bright, hopefully enough to cheer up someone who's not feeling well.  I did use my Silhouette SD to cut out the circle and the scallops - what a big help that was!

Shawna also has another kit coming out tomorrow with ScrapKitchen Designs but I didn't get a chance to work with it as I was ready to hit the sack early last night.  

Happy scrapping and crafting everyone!

Sneak, Sneak!

Jennifer Fox has a kit coming out tomorrow that you just have to get!  It's called 'Memory Keeper' and it's fabulous!  I made both a card and a layout with it - check it out:

Don't forget - tomorrow at The Digichick!

Autumn Blessings

When I first saw the Taylored Expression Sketch 128 I had no idea what to do!  I had to think about it for awhile.  Then when I saw the new kit coming out tomorrow (9/23) from Jennifer Fox and Nikki Epperson, I knew I wanted to use that kit with the sketch.  This is what I came up with:

For the words 'Autumn Blessings' I used DJB Gimme Space by Darcy Baldwin and Lauren Reid - one of my favorite fonts.  

Happy crafting and scrapping everyone!

A Snappy Wish Card

I made this card using Jennifer Fox Designs' newest kit - Down by the Seashore available at The Digichick, DJB Constance Beauregard by Darcy Baldwin, and 2 Sketches 4 You card sketch from 7/26/10 for The Hybrid Chick Caravan.

Happy Crafting!

A New Look

I've got a new look to my blog!  Do you like it?  It's from Jennifer Fox and it's called Pretty Bloggie: My Little Garden and it was so very easy to install!  I'm all about easy!

Just thought I'd share some of my latest creations with you all today.

This first one was a lot of fun to make.  I actually got GSO  for this!  Talk about an honor!

Card Making

So I missed 'A Minute This Monday' yesterday - I got a little distracted by a really intriguing card sketch on the Paper Crafts magazine blog (Go To Sketch Challenge #4).  I've been thinking about what I'd like to do for a few days and last night I finally sat down and did it.  It's not exactly how I imagined it to be, but I like the end result.  I can see doing another card with this same sketch a little differently though.  I am really into banners these days and I couldn't resist making one for this card!

I used the collab kit from Jennifer Fox Designs and Meghan Mullens called 'Oh So Studious.'  I also used some ribbon from Joann's and two buttons from Papertrey Ink.  I hope the person that gets it likes it as much as I do.

Happy scrapping (and crafting) everyone!

Sneak Peek of Jennifer's New Release!

Jennifer Fox has a new release coming out tomorrow and it's nothing but fabulous!

See what I mean?!  Awesome looking isn't it?

And lookie lookie at what I made with it.  It's a tea bag holder/card for someone who needs a pick me up.  I definitely will be making more of these in the future because they were so easy to make and fun!

So tomorrow be sure to grab this kit at The Digichick!!!

Fabulous new release!

I was so excited to see Jennifer's new release today (along with some re-releases)!  The kit is called My Birthday Boy and it's absolutely amazing!  Check out the ad:

And here is a sampling of what I made with it!  I'm busy getting things ready for Anthony's birthday!

  

So before you forget, go grab it at The Digichick!  You won't regret it!

Happy Scrapping!

It's Been Awhile

Wow the past few weeks have really flown by.  The weather has started to get nice and the boys and I find ourselves outside playing in the yard or taking a walk almost everyday.  Of course, today it's a little cooler out so we probably won't go out.

Onto my scrapbook-related items....Jennifer Fox Designs released Whisper of Spring today at The Digichick.

  It's chock full of blues, browns, pinks, and greens.  I just love it!  I made some really adorable paper flowers with it:

They would be perfect for an embellishment on a card or even on top of a gift!  I added some stickles to give it some sparkle - aren't they pretty?  I used a tutorial from HERE to make them.  

I also made a layout with the kit and think it was just perfect for the photo I had of Nathan and Anthony.  

Oh and one more thing - Jennifer is having a CT call!  Get your apps in - you only have until tomorrow!  

Happy scrapping!
