Card Club {Girl Birthday}

Months ago I quit card club in a quest to spend my limited crafting time doing other crafting things (scrapbooking, home decor, etc).  And I have done NOTHING.  So, when I got invited to be in the hottest card club around I said YES!  Then the pressure and nerves set in because I am not sure I can live up to their standards, but we are going for it!

This is my contribution...

All of the cards...

See the card at the bottom left?  The creator of that card kept saying hers was so ugly she wouldn't even hand it out!  Can you believe it?!?!?  If you receive this card from me just know that I think it's great!

Another funny thing is that I was really close to making the exact same design as the card in the upper left-phew!

I'm excited for the challenge and to receive all of these great cards every other month!

Giveaway on a new found blog

I've been crafting!

A friend is having this......

I've always wanted to try it so I went ahead and jumped right in! I made the decision about a week and half before I had to have everything done and I had the flu so needless to say I was very very busy the past several days crafting my little heart out! Oh, how I have missed it! Here is what I got done for the boutique! I wish I could have done more, but it's that time of the year so I may do more boutiques if all goes well with this trial round. My mind is spinning with all of the things I could do!

Hooded Towels

small Bags/ scripture totes

Holiday Decor

[OK not a good picture]

Well I'm no photographer so these pictures don't look so hot.

I'm no pro, but we will see how it goes!

Teacher Appreciation

I have seen so many ideas for teachers that are so cute. This is just what I came up with late one night using things I had on hand. Both girls have teachers with "R" last names this year. The girls did their part and stamped the alphabet on the ribbons. We love our teachers!

More V-Day Crafts

That is all it is good for anyways right? Just had to show some other things I made before I finally put them away!These are Kim's awesome pictures because I could not get any good ones! We made these at a craft night at Kim's house. She is so talented at everything! She came up with 14 different designs for these little matchboxes. One for each day of February counting up to Valentine's Day. A little something for your sweetheart everyday.

Valentine's Table Decor

Haven't posted much here lately, but not due to lack of crafting. Just lazy I suppose. I decided that I would just make new paper globes for these every season/holiday to use all o the paper I love! Here is my valentine's version!

Christmas Cards

Christmas cards are done and sent out! I love the shape. I tucked the Christmas letter inside. Once I figured out what I was going to do they were pretty simple even though I have almost convinced myself that next year I will just make a digital one!
