Butterflies

Lately I have been using a lot of butterflies in my projects. I dont know why but they just look so pretty to me lately. For these I used the PTI stamp set Butterfly dreams and the die that goes with it. I love this stamp set!!!!

mini squash book

I have only made one squash book before and it was a big one so I thought I would try a to make a small one. It was super easy to do I just started with 8x8 paper and when the book is closed it is 4x4.

Handmade swap 3

This swap was a secret swap so you had no idea who had your name. I was lucky and Candy had my name she did such an awesome job on what she made me! I loved everything that she sent me, thank you so much Candy!!!

Another Smash type book

I made this for the birthday girl Serina in the birthday swap that I am in. Inside there is lined paper, pockets and a weekly calendar. I hope she liked it!

Journling swap

Here is what my wonderful partner made for me in the journaling swap. Thank you again Elizabeth!

Journling swap

Here is what I made for my partner in the journaling swap that I was in. We had to make some journaling tags or spots, a notebook and a container for the tags to go in.

My Bage mini from my partner

This is the mini that my partner made for me, my son Austin loves it!

My first badge mini album

I joined a swap for mini albums made with the badge sleeves that you would use for name tags. My partner wanted one for camping and this is what I came up with for her.

I left the sign empty so that she could add any name that she wanted on it

I had to use my new stamp

So I used it to make a birthday card for one of the swaps I am in. I love this stamp and have been wanting it for awhile so I finally got it the other day when my lss had a buy one get one free on the stamps that they had in stock. The stamp is by Hero Arts and its called Make your own

Baby shower cards

My SIL asked me to make the invitations to her baby shower so I made a couple different ones for her to chose from. I tried to keep them pretty simple because she wants around a 100 of them made.

I made the card and the duck using Wild Cards and embossed the circle with the Spots & Dots embossing folder

I used the lion from the SU set Fox & Friends and I used the TH Burlap embossing folder to emboss the kraft paper

Pool Party

I have had these pics for 10+ years and I finally got them scrapped. The pattern paper is from Echo Park, the font is from Simply Sweet and the crab and splash is from Create a Critter. I used one of the maps from Page Maps 2 to put this LO together.

Easter 2009

I dont really like pastels so I tried to make an a LO with out them, I really like the way it turned out. The bunny was cut using Gypsy Wanderings, the fonts are from Lyrical Letters and the flowers are also from Gypsy Wanderings.
