...four little elves...

I have had Christmas cards on the brain since JULY! Yes, really... I have been trying to think of the perfect card to make and send out (we send about 90 cards out). There are so many cute sets out there and images that I wanted, it was hard to decide. I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but I don't have to make all 90 cards the same! Duh - so, this year I'm going to play and make as many different cards as I want!
First up is this card w/ four little elves to represent my four little boys (I have 5 boys, but one is far from little at 19 years old).
Pink Cat Studio had this digi image (along with a ton of other cute ones) that I couldn't pass up. I've also printed it small and put "to/from" next to him and will be making tags for Christmas gifts! I feel like this card is still missing *something* but I'm not sure if I ought to add buttons, or ribbon, or both. . .

Cowboy Birthday

Hi friends! Okay, I'm sure you don't need this many pictures of my latest project. But since I took 'em you'll get to see 'em!
My dear friend, Nichole, called to see if I could whip up some first birthday invites for her nephew, Landon. They were planning a COWBOY themed party - eeeeeep! I couldn't wait to make them! I knew I'd be using my PCS Billy set. . .
I didn't have enough of the background paper to make them all, so I found some coordinating colors that would work...

I think I like the plaid a bit better than the stripes....

And. . . I couldn't NOT make a card for Nichole to give the birthday boy! =)

Hope you loved them!

... little girlie cards ...

So, it takes me forever to take pictures off my memory stick. I'm just such a procrastinator about it! Then *editing* the pictures so they look cute before putting 'em on here. I dunno - I guess I'm busy or lazy, or both?
Lately, I've been taking the kids to an hourly drop-in daycare on Mondays. Well, I used to take them so I could workout, but I've totally fallen off that wagon. So, now I take them every Monday so I can have a little ME time.
Anyhoo - I've got stuff to share... Hope you like!

I used Lily and Tweet for both of these cards. I actually had FOUR little girl birthdays to make cards for during the month of April - the other two are similar, but I didn't get a picture before popping them in the mail.

I went a little glitter-crazy on this last one. I love outlining stuff w/ my quickie glue pen and sprinkling on the Martha Stewart glitter. It's super duper easy and looks pretty, too.

... Kyle's 6th Birthday invites....

My second-oldest son, Kyle, is turning 6 in a few weeks, and we are having his party at a gymnastics place. I have no gymnastics stamps whatsoever- and it's really more of jumping and tumbling and doing fun obstacle course stuff, so I let Kyle choose whatever stamp he wanted for his invite. His main requirement was the color purple. So, I gave little Billy here a purple suit and added some purple accents and voila - he's done... The sentiment I printed off.
