Birthday card

Here's a birthday card I did (OK, I made 2 of them for my March Birthday friends, so I hope you don't see this on my blog, but if you do...act surprised anyway!!) for the Stamp Something Blog challenge this week. The challenge was to use something "favorite". And for me, I have been using the Chloe's Closet line from Making Memories lately, and just bought some flowers/buttons to go with it this morning...so I made the cards from their journaling shapes. Love those, but don't think I will ever use all of them, so I think using them on cards is a great way to get some pattern, color & great shapes. Hope they like the card!!

Imperfection is Perfect!

I loved this quote when I saw it, then I had to scraplift an idea that I saw in an issue of CK from a year or so ago...so I did it for this week's Stamp Something challenge - which was to stamp something 3D. That spooked me at first, & then I realized I do it all the time - just like this...which I was so inspired that it took me about an hour to do...that's all. (I gave it to a friend at work!!)

I Adore You, Mom

I did this layout a couple of weeks ago. I've been missing mom a lot lately, just want to feel her touch & here her voice in person. So I was inspired to do this layout. And I wish Mom & Madison could know more of each other.

Celebrating 11 years!

Here are my projects for Valentine's Day/11th Anniversary. Picture #1 is of the combined project - a homemade stamped card & a matching coupon book.
Picture #2 is a closer picture of the front cover...
Picture #3 is a picture of the inside of the coupon book...LOVED LOVED LOVED using the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection (all this made with just one piece, so I've got the rest of the pack left to play with!!

Happy Anniversary Adam!!

The Look

This is my latest scrapbook page, based on the latest PageMaps sketch. I love da Pagemaps!!! Although this photo is more than 3 years old, I've been waiting until the right moment to scrap it. This was it. The layout came together so fast - it only took me, like, an hour to do it. For those people that know me, I can be a slow scrapper...most layouts take 2 or more hours...but this one - only about an hour or so. (Photo by Jason Fobart, Atlanta)

Cupcake Card

Our challenge this week on the Stamp Something blog was to stamp something "birthday". Although I've stamped many a birthday card, I wanted to do something a little unusual this go-around. And since I had the time, and the inspiration!!, I made a card in the shape of a cupcake. I handmade a cupcake template, found my papers, and went to it. The reason I stamped "Always" on the front is because of the saying on the inside. I hope my Mom likes it, even though it's PINK!! Not her favorite color!! :-)

"No Stamping" Card

Over at the Stamp Something blog - this week's challenge was to make something with NO STAMPING...apparently they think that is a challenge - HA!! My challenge to DO SOMETHING with all my stamps, so that I can justify the expense. I digress - so I made this card using a technique that I saw over at Scraplove.com. I am giving it to a friend for her birthday tomorrow, and she is an artsy person, so I think she will love it.
