Teacher Time

Hello!  I hope you've had a great weekend!  For all the mom's out there, I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I had thought we would be spending Mother's Day at the Magic Kingdom in Florida but instead my boys chose to spend the day at Sea World!  I must say (especially to any Florida readers) I LOVE Florida!  I am totally in love with Palm Trees!  Florida's vegetation is incredible and so unlike anything we have here in Canada!  The staff at our hotel were wonderful and super friendly!  The parks we went to were super clean and action packed!  What a great weekend!

That aside...I was supposed to be getting started on Father's Day cards today but I was totally unmotivated.  I had an idea in my head for a card for Caleb's Teacher this year.  My oldest son has the most wonderful Kindergarten teacher!  She has done over and above what is required for these kids and has a group of kids who adore her!

Anyhow, I thought I'd made her a little blackboard card for his teacher.  I used a set from Papertrey Ink that I love for doing Teacher's cards.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Versamark, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Other: White Embossing Powder, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Staple, Dimensionals, Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by today!
Check back tomorrow for my Mojo Monday card!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello and Happy Mother's Day to you!  I'm a little sad that I'm not celebrating with my mom today BUT I am (or hopefully am) celebrating my 5th Mother's Day at the Happiest Place on Earth!

This is the card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day.  I have been blessed with the perfect mom...no seriously.  She is my best friend!  Don't get me wrong, we don't always get along perfectly but we are perfect for each other!

I'm not sure if she would have received this card on time.  I never know with the postal system how long cards will take!

My mom and I LOVE tea and have a deeper love for tea cups and pots!  I love the Tea Shoppe set and knew that I somehow had to incorporate it into her card!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
DSP: Everyday Enchantment
Stamps: Tea Shoppe
Ink: Soft Suede
Other: Dimensionals, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Dots Embossing Folder, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder

Happy Mother's Day Mom!  I love you!!!

Digital Door Hangers

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to their weekend!

A quick post today and not a card!  I have been taking Heather Summers' course on using My Digital Studio (you can still sign up here!).  Heather has been giving us fabulous tutorials on all things digital!

Heather made a fabulous door hanger for her daughter's room and I thought that making Lego door hangers would be a fabulous loot bag treasure for a certain someone's upcoming Lego party!

These babies are super easy to make using the My Digital Studio software.  I can't wait to get them printed and show you a picture of the finished product!  My son is still too young to have a "Keep Out" side so I figured I would make it more age appropriate but still fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Lego (again...)

Hello!
I hope everyone had a great day!  Friday has arrived finally!  If you're like me, when you hit Friday you breathe a huge sigh of relief!

Today's card is very simple but will have a HUGE effect on the recipient (who happens to be my soon to be 6 year old)!

My dad requested a card for my oldest who is turning 6 in just over a week (how can that be?  Wasn't he just born yesterday?).  Well, I'm sure you remember me saying once or twice that Caleb LOVES Lego.

I was having a hard time thinking of yet another Lego card BUT then it hit me...why not make a giant Lego block for him!  It's simple but he'll love it.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Whisper White
Stamps: Loved Ones
Ink: Basic Black, Pacific Point
Other: 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Mojo Purses

Hello!
Lots going on around our house. Did I mention my husband is on vacation at home this week?  Hmmm...I am thankful that he is able to take a break from work and relax but I'm thinking I might be finding it a little stressful for me!

I had a request for a card for a special little 5 year old who really loves purses and make up! I still can't believe this little princess is going to be turning 5!

Anyhow, I used the Mojo Monday Sketch to start this card out.  The Mojo Monday blog is a great way to get started if you're looking for a sketch challenge.

Hope you're having a great week so far!

Thanks for stopping by!

Button Buddies Birthday

Hello!
Sorry for a few days of silence.  I have been trying to catch up on a few card orders!  Plus last night I was busy browsing the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue online...oh it was lovely!

It's been a busy week here.    My husband is on vacation this week...it's a bit of an adjustment for me to have him at home (to say the least!).

I wanted to post the original card I had made for the Freshly Make Sketches challenge this week.  I didn't quite feel the love with this card and so I made the one I posted the other night!

I will have a new card for you tomorrow night!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Freshly Made Butterfly Trio

Hello!
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!  I was able to spend a few minutes in the workshop this afternoon creating...I tackled the Freshly Made Sketches challenge today.

Jen had a great sketch this week!  I actually took a couple of go's at it before I came up with a card that I was happy with!  Is that sad?!

You can't tell in the first picture but I decided to cut out each of the butterflies and attached them with a glue dot so they look like they're fluttering off the page!

I will post my "other" card tomorrow!  No laughing though okay?!

Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by!
