A few cards: Happy Birthday(x2), Congrats(x2) & Another Card Set

Here is my Happy Birthday Card for my friend Hannah! I made a banner card. I made sure that I didn't put the year, or her birthday year, so she could use it for decoration later!
My Little Shoebox Farmers Market paper, the Jillibean Soup Beanstalks and AC Cardstock in blue.


Here is another card set that I made using American Crafts, My Minds Eye, the Twinery, Cosmo Cricket, Prima, ribbon and some paper twine. I mixed and matched all different lines to achieve the set.
This is a super cute card for one of my friend's little girl, Budgie. Isla is a brunette, and Budgie is a redhead... So this was perfect! Plus, they are only about 19 days apart, and bestest friends! It's a combination of a little bit of My Little Shoebox letters, iRock bling, My Mind's Eye little girls, a Sassafras number and kraft paper.
I was tasked with making a card for a dear friend who just got a great new job in the scrapbooking industry. While we will all miss her from her previous position... She's going to do great!!

While the Canadian Post strike was going on, one of my Canadian friends wasn't able to send her card. I made one for her in the colors that she liked: blues, greens and browns.
This is the one that I created for her. I freed myself up to do a few things that I don't normally do. I included some shaped paper twine, Glossy Accents, a little bling, and just had fun with it!
A few details... Glossy Accents (I have to figure out how to get the bubbles out!!)
Hope you enjoyed! Pin It

MWM 50: My love affair with Peachy Keen

I am in love with American Craft's Peachy Keen. When I first saw it online... I was a little unsure, but in person... Sigh! It's just the perfect amount of masculine and feminine. It's chock full of lovely teals, peaches, yellows and greys. AHHHHHHH!!!!

I made my 50th Mid-Week Mojo for scrapbooksteals.com!! I have at least made 50 layouts, plus challenges (give or take the few that I still have to finish this weekend!!)
Some of the details of the fabulousness!!
The only non-American Crafts detail... My Little Shoebox letters...
The Thickers are BEAUTIFUL!
And my favorite... The resin flower brads!
All in all... Peachy Keen is fantastic, and I cannot wait to use more!

PS. Happy Birthday Scrapbooksteals!!!

No MLS Design Team for me... :( {Repost by the request of MLS-took it down until 3/31}

Calls went out for the My Little Shoebox today... It looks like I wasn't on the list.

:*(

Anyway... That does mean that I get to share and showcase the items I DID make for "tryouts".

The first photos are the birdhouse that I decorated. I think it looks a little empty... But I'm giving it away... So want to allow for the recipient to finish decorating it herself!!

The second was "Happy Spring" card. I added tulle and pins, as well as used a TON of dimensional adhesives...

"Brownies" was a lot of fun. I Versamarked the background with a flower stamp, added a LOT of bling, and used some really fun photos!
For this layout, I took a piece of shaped paper, cut it in half and then strung the two pieces together like an envelope. Then, I added a bunch of embellishments to decorate :)

ENJOY!! Pin It
