one more thing!

I keep forgetting to mention my BLOG MAKEOVER. My BFF, Amber, is a web guru who created my new header & background. For some reason, I've been liking all things YELLOW lately...

Hope you like!

has this ever happened to you????

I just finished making a card for my dear friend, Nichole, who needed a "congrats you're preggers" card. I thought I'd make a square card since I hadn't in eons. So, as I was getting an envelope to fit the card, Noah thought he'd spiff it up a bit more.... Ahhhh! Dang kids... Anyhoo - it was probably a blessing, because the second card I whipped up, I liked a lot more! Too bad I am lazy and didn't take a picture of it.

... teacher lunch box...

Hello dear friends. . . Happy Father's Day. 'Course I don't have a Father's Day card to show you. I made several, but was so late getting them mailed, I didn't stop to take thier little pictures! My theme was red, white and blue. Turned out pretty cute!
So, today I'm going to share a lunch box (PTI template) that I made weeks ago for Levi's teacher. He picked out the paper and insisted on being in the photo.

Behind that button, I used a little piece of velcro that was sticky. Perfect!

And the side view, just 'cuz Levi's so adorable!

...hooray schools out!

I wanted to make a card for my neices & nephews to celebrate summer vacation! Well - I have 7 that just finished school, and I really didn't want to make SEVEN cards! So, I made two - one for each "family" of kids (my one sister has 4 kids and the other 3).
This first card is square because I messed up the right edge and I didn't like it, so I chopped it off and centered the sentiment on what was left.

I shoulda just made 'em both like this. Oh well. The star paper I got on clearance at Michaels, and the red is PTI's pure poppy. I used my karen foster snap together stamps to spell out the sentiment. I love those! Too bad they're discontinued.... I have to be extra careful not to mess up the ones I have.

Anyhoo - that's about it. We are in the process of packing and stuff for our move to California, so I don't have all my stamp stuff out. Plus, I am trying to keep my stamp room TIDY! Quite a challenge for me. . .

Hope you all are having an awesome day!!!

another digi day...

Well, I was messing around again today and made the following "page." It's still pretty simple and took a while to finish - I'll get faster & better w/ time (I hope!). Anyhoo - I'm thinking I'll try to do a page for each of the kids for the month of June & send them to family....

my first digi - anything!!

Okay, so I bet most bloggers have been doing digital stuff forever now... I got a quickie lesson from my dear friend, Amber - and today have been messing around w/ it. There are loads of free stuff out there, so go explore! My dad likes lighthouses, and I saw this beach kit, so thought I'd play around w/ it. I'm probably going to print it and put it on the front of a card. . . I'm not sure yet, but I was so excited I wanted to share ASAP!
Have a great day!
