I love it!The incredible circus tent was made by my sister...check her out on Etsy at Free Rose Studio.Want to see more? I added more pictures and details in this post. … [Read more...]
Circus Elephant Wall Art
I love how this came out! I am decorating the baby's nursery in a vintage circus theme. I used my Silhouette cutter and papers from Jenni Bowlin's October papercrafting kit to get this done. This circus elephant wall art is the first of three pieces...I hope to tackle the other two soon! To see more pictures of my son's circus themed nursery, please visit THIS post. Thanks for looking! … [Read more...]
The Home Decor Challenge
I love these postcard kits from Crafty Secrets!! I like that you have all the coordinating materials in one place, and then you're free to embellish them any way you want! I mailed these to two dear friends and they were both so tickled to receive them! One hung hers in her kitchen (and complains that no one has cleaned it for her!) and the other hung hers over her desk. … [Read more...]
The Gift Card Holder Challenge
I really have fun making these pocket cards...the inserts can be personalized with pictures, messages, doodles, etc! I made these with gift cards in mind. I can write a message on the lined insert, and attach the gift card to the second insert that goes in the back pocket! … [Read more...]
The Cards Set Challenge
I had sooo much fun making this set! I made it with my niece in mind...she has a birthday this month and I thought a tween might like a fun, shiny set of cards. I've had these micro beads for ages and have been looking for a use for them! The pictures don't capture how pretty these cards really are, and I will see if I can get some better pics this weekend and update. … [Read more...]
Baby Boy Photo Pockets
Rather than just handing my mom and my in-laws our most recent ultrasound pictures, I made these little photo pockets to show off our newest little man. I had once purchased a mini-scrapbook made entirely of folded brown paper bags and have wanted to copy the idea. So I cut off the end of the bag, folded it to create two pockets, and then made the inserts. I'm tickled with the way they came out, and the recipients loved the gift of photos! … [Read more...]
Hot Air Balloon Re-imagined
I have really enjoyed the recent trend involving hot air balloons in crafts, but I don't have any hot air balloon stamps. I started looking at my Tim Holtz fragments and thought that turned upside down they could look like hot air balloons! Serendipity! I embossed some charms with red embossing powder to create the little baskets under the balloons. I like how these tags came out!As luck would have it, the Tuesday Trigger incorporates the colors I chose for my … [Read more...]

Tuesday Trigger…seeing red
This card was inspired by the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World. I love the black/red combo, as well as the ruffles in the trigger picture. I'm so happy with the way this card came out, and it's for a dear friend whose aunt just passed away. … [Read more...]
Catching up….
I completely forgot to post these back in September...back to school cards for teachers. I had so much fun making these! My sister gave me a pack of computer stationary with this adorable little girl on it, and ever since I've been itching to use them in a project. … [Read more...]
