Welcome Baby!

A colleague of mine invited me to her baby shower next month so I thought I would make her a card.  I have been dying to use the elephant from Zooballoo and now I got my chance!

I used Zooballoo for the elephant.  Simply Sweet for welcome baby.  Sentiment inside was printed on my printer using Candy RoundBTN font.  Elephant eyes are Jolee's Swarovski Crystals.  Orange Stickles.  White Souffle pen used to create dots on baby.

Sweet 16 birthday card for niece

One of my nieces is turning 16 this month...WOW, I can't believe it!  Well she is just a great young lady, so just a standard sentiment wouldn't do.  I wrote her a poem to go on the inside of the card.  I sure hope she likes it!

I used Hello Kitty Font for her name on the front of the card.  The embossing folder is Spring Flowers.  This was a very simple card.

Birthday Card for Cousin (Tara, don't peek :))

I made this card for my cousin Tara's birthday.  She loooooves cupcakes.  Hopefully this one is cute enough to eat (even though she can't eat it, hehehe).  I fell in love with the saying on the inside...it just fit her.  If you can't read it, it says "Birthdays are natures way of telling us to eat more cupcakes"

I used the cupcake from Wild Card and the cherry and additional topper on the cupcake is from Sweet Treats.  Embossing folder is Spots and Dots.  Glitter for icing is PK Glitz Crystal glitter.  Cherry is coated with Glossy Accents.  Inside sentiment was printed on printer using Angelina font.

More cards! More cards!

I realize it has been awhile (again), but I have finally found a few minutes to post some additional cards I have made. 

This first one is for a special Aunt.  She is one of the dearest sweetest women I know.  She has always had a special place in my heart ever since I was a little child.  She was the Aunt that would stay in the room and play with me while all of the other adults gathered around the kitchen table to gab.  This Aunt also played an instrumental role in planting the seed of God in my heart, and for that I am forever grateful!

This one is for my borrowed grandmother that I call Mawmaw Moore. She is my Aunt's mother and when my last grandmother passed away a little over a year ago she gave me this huge hug and told me that she would be my grandmother now. She is so sweet, I guess that is where my Aunt got it from. Anyway, she has had a couple of shoulder surgeries and so I was wanting to send her something to tell her I was thinking about her.

Pooh Valentine Card

A very good friend of mine loves Winnie the Pooh.  We tease her all the time about her ringtone because when her husband calls it rings the Pooh song and she always answers "hello Pooh Bear".  Well, this gave me an idea....I asked her hubs if I could make him a card to give to her.  He has done a ton of nice things for me over the years, so I thought maybe I could return the favor.  So my idea was to have Pooh lovingly thinking about his honey pot and so this is what I came up with...

Valentine Gifts for Co-workers

I made these chocolates and then bagged and tagged them for Valentine's Day to give to the girls I work with.  They loved them.  Oh, I also included a picture of the cards I gave them... 

The wording on the card was heat embossed using Versamark Dazzle (Frost) and Stamp 'n Stuff embossing powder (Kaleidescope) and says "all things grow with love". The card itself is embossed using the Cuttlebug Heart Blocks embossing folder and inked using fluid chalk.

Sending Mom Love through Snail Mail

Here is my Valentine card to my mother.  I guess I could've just done one card for the both of them, but it was fun doing two.  I haven't done cards for Valentine's Day in years, but I just couldn't help myself. 
The snail  and love you is from Paisley.  Hearts are from Doodlecharms.  Stitching was done by hand using a Souffle Pen.
