This is my card for the March Sisterhood Swap. You needed somebody green. I got this adorable turtle in a set from my friend for my birthday. He's from Clear Dollar Stamps in a "Cute Critters" set. The background paper is from Basic Grey. I think it's a new line called Origins. I thought it had some nice green colors to complement Mr. Turtle. I didn't know turtles were so hooked on carrots, but hey, we've all got to watch our calorie intake, don't we.
I think he's glad Spring is coming.

Puppy Six Pack

I made this card for a six pack challenge my friend, Gael, invited me to. The "stamp" background is from SCS and the puppy is Scooter from Imaginesce. Grey taffeta ribbon and my heart punch. He's a cute little guy who is supposed to pack his bags and travel to see the world.

Luigi is all ready for Valentine's Day. He's got his heart pizza all baked and he's good to go. Thank you Jeanette for all the images. I really love this guy. I thought about making just one and hoarding all the images for myself, but he's too cute not to share with Grandma's and great friends so he's multiplied. I even broke out my new Basic Grey Sugar Rush paper so everything would match. Please note he has on his Williams Sonoma oven mitts keeping him in style. The heart border is from Fiskars. The heart charm is from Lost & Found jewlery closures that I found in Michael's last week.

This is my January Sisterhood card. It's to celebrate who we are based on when we were born. My birthday is December 14th so I decided to go with the glitter and glam of the holiday season and add the birthday cake to celebrate. The Poinsettia is the birth flower for December and I picked up a Prisma poinsettia pack a few weeks back. It was fun to get to use them. The background papers are from the Basic Grey Wassil line.

Daughter's Valentine Skunk


My 6 year old and I made this skunk valentine holder. We found the instructions in the current Pack O Fun magazine we picked up at the library. You cut the top off a 2 liter soda bottle, paint it black and then make the other pieces from a pattern you print from their website. They made theirs with craft foam, but we used cardstock. The white is done with a detail paint bottle. We added the googlie eyes. Everybody around here needs Googlie eyes. Wish we had invented them!! He was really a fun project that went together pretty easily.

This is my card for the Sisterhood November swap. The ornament is removable and ready for the tree. It's not one of those 10 minute cards, but I'm pretty happy with the results. The ornament is from Outlines. The snowflakes are SU Snow Swirled (I think). It's good to get back on my blog.

This mini backpack was so fun to make. The directions are from splitcoaststampers. It was pretty easy to do. The paper I used is Basic Grey Lime Rickey. I just love these birds and their bright colors. The blue is shiny Bazzill. Can't wait to make some more. My children are standing in line waiting for one because I don't want to share mine.
