Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge

This is a card I made for the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge Card Sketch #9. Here is the link to the challenge: http://www.papercraftcrew.com/2012/09/26/pcccs009-card-sketch/ I had fun using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and coordinating Framelits from Stampin' Up! I always need teacher-friendly thank you cards and this set is perfect for that!

Thank You Cards for Germany

Just a quick post today to share the thank you cards I made for relatives in Germany using my new Stampin' goodies.


Sunday, April 15, 2012

Two other quick cards that I made today. The first is a Mother's Day card for my mom and the second is going to be used as a "Thank You" card for a woman who helped fund one of my projects on Donorschoose.org.
Card for mom for Mother's Day. Larger flower punch from Stampin' Up, smaller punch from The Paper Studio. Stamped sentiment from My Pink Stamper. Paper and brads from The Paper Studio.

Card with "Thank You" stamped inside. Paper from The Paper Studio, triple layer punch used to make the flowers is from Stampin' Up.

My Pink Stamper Blog Hop Challenge

A quick and simple, yet elegant, Mother's Day card for my mother-in-law. I made this for the Pink Stamper Blog Hop. The challenge was to do anything with a Mother's Day theme.
-The stamp sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's "Happiest Moments" acrylic stamp set
-The flower punch and stamp are from Stampin' Up
-The shimmer paper is from DCWV
-White paper embossed in my Cuttlebug using an embossing folder from Darice

Recent Cards

Hello card with woven ribbon wreath.

Birdie hello card with blue paper embossed using my Cuttlebug and the swirl folder from Provo Craft.

Everything from Stampin' Up including the paper, triple layer punch, and pearls. Ribbon unknown.

Same Stampin' Up materials used as the card above.

Easy thank you cards made with Stampin' Up paper, punch, and stamps.


Not a card, but I thought that project was pretty darn cute! It was created with the Cricut Art Philosophy cart. Inspired by the post here: http://www.creatingwithchristine.com/2012/03/hippity-hoppity.html

Craft Room Makeover

My goal over spring break was to get my craft room more functional. My husband and I headed up to Ikea so that I could get some ideas for tables that would work in my space. I found one table top that would work well and hold up, but it was currently sold out. We came home and I ended up using two folding tables we got for overflow seating at family gatherings when we host. I think they actually turned out to work pretty well in the space. I may need new tables for those family gatherings! I wish I had before pictures, but the after shots with have to do.
Main work area with paper storage above and to the right. Cuttlebug and embossing folders are stored above the single paper rack. Cricut carts are stored to the left with my rotary trimmer.

Both tables. One stores my paper racks and Cuttlebug. The other table is my girls' table. I didn't have a space for them prior to this. My wood block stamps are in the cart in the middle of the two tables. The red basket hold my leftover paper, which my girls can use to do their crafts etc. 

Alex cart from Ikea with my Cricut Expression. Wall shelf unit from Michaels.

Shelf unit from Michaels. It holds my Stickles, embossing powders, and stamp pads.

Drawer in the Alex cart with the girls' items.

Crop-a-Dile, eyelits, and my scoring board.

Drawer with punches.

Welcome to my blog! I will be posting cards and other crafts as I participate in challenges posted online.
