Another Father's Day Card

This one is for TaTa... Micheal calls my Mom's husband that.... and you just can't find a card that says that on Father's Day.... so we have to make our own!!

And another Father's Day Card

Here's the one for Eric's Dad...

I ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING!! YEAAAAAAHHHH

Fathers Day Cards!! What do you get a bunch of men that have everything..... a thoughtful card, and some lottery tickets, that seems to be my answer to everything now a days!! It's easy, it gives thereceiver something fun to do and well hopefully they win something!! So here you go.... this one is for My Dad who LOVES Mickey Mouse!! I'm in love with my new cartridge the Wild Card... This is the booklet card, and I just added my own little ticket holder.

New Wild Card Cartridge

So I haven't crafted a card in a week.... there are 4 7 week old today kittens that have taken over my crafing

space!! SO ADORABLE.... but NOTHING is gettin done!! I headed out there tonight with my dear little boy following me and tried to be creative... after pulling my teeth out this is all I came up with... oh and a pile of other cuts... that just didn't work that I'm sure I will use at some point!

cHiLl OuT fOr SuMmEr

Micheal thinks these are the coolest thing I made today!! He wanted to give his friends something for the end of the year.... so I grabbed a box of Otter Pop look alikes and put three together tied with a ribbon added tags that said "Chill out this Summer" and signed each of them from Micheal. Can't wait to get to school to hand them out!!

EnD oF tHe YeAr GiFtS

Micheal has his main homeroom teacher that he spends most of his day with but like every other school he has a couple of other teachers. So I made these little gifts for the rest of his teachers... very simple little boxes filled with candles and a candle holder wrapped in a cellophane bag tied with a ribbon and a tag wishing them a great summer! He is very excited to hand these out in the morning.

I made this for Micheal's teacher as a Thank You gift for the end of the year. Saw a similiar idea on the Cricut message board, tweaked it and made my own version. Filled it with Smarties and a Starbuck's gift card and called it done!

LaDyBuGs ArE sO cUtE

Ladybugs are SO Cute!!

More BrAd BuDdIeS cards!!

And here are a few more!!

Brad Buddies..... I LOVE THEM!!

Got my collection of Brad Buddies out today... and this is what I came up with!!

Thanks!!

I love the "thanks" on Walk in My Garden... can you tell!! I kinda pumped these out today in the different color schemes..... not much creativity involved after I figured the layout out, but I need lots of colors and styles for the craft fairs.... so here I go!!

Gift for the 26 year old who loves horses!!

A gift I made for my brother back in April for his 26th birthday..... couldn't think of anything to get him..... so I made this with 26 one dollar bills as the pasture!!

French Message Boards 1st Try!!

I've been wanting to try one of these for awhile.... and after we looked for Cork Board we came across these cute 12X12 squares.... and decided instead of making one, we would make a set to hang... that would double as a piece of wall art and a cute picture / note holder!! YEAHHHHHH somewhere to hang my new card creations.

More NEW cards

I've been on a mission..... gotta make atleast 150 cards and I'm on 48..... long way to go .... but I've come along way too!!

New cards in the last 2 days!!

Moved myself into a corner in the extra room and planted myself at my desk to create.... I'm loving it, can work late into the night and leave my creation as a work in progress without worrying about picking it up before bed.... So this is what I have come up with in the last couple of days!!

Flowers are BLOOMING!!

My garden has begun to bloom!! My most favorite thing in the world is when me beloved Iris take hold and bloom!! There is nothing like walking to the car in the morning and on the way being greeted by the magestic blooms!

Milo got a PET

Totally off the crafting subject....

BUT, my adorable cuddly little helper, who seems to always be in the middle of whatever I am crafting got a pet!! Who seems to keep him pretty occupied!!

MEET: Milo and his pet Bubbles (Milo's thoughtful brother Micheal named his pet for him)

A little OWL

ON my same trip to Michaels I ran across a package of these little owl stickers and thought they were awfully cute.... so I made a card.... that's how it works right... you just see something envision it and create it!

Black Gingham

Went to Michaels on Memorial Day with my 20% off purchase coupon with an idea in mind of a gift I wanted to make for Micheals teacher at the end of the year... and I bought some black gingham paper to use for it. Got the covering done with the gift and had a piece left over so I went a little crazy with cards with it.... I just love the black with white and then the dramatic effect of the bright colors that go with it. Eric says you can always tell the cards I make on the same day cause they have the same theme... and well these ones definately do!! I love the yellow one the best.... something about black and yellow that is very striking.

Grumpy Lottery Bouquet

What do you get an old fart who buys everything he wants when he wants it, Who loves to gamble, and loves Grumpy...... WELL you buy him a really cool grumpy t-shirt from the Disney store and you make him a Grumpy "bouquet" of gems and lottery tickets. And in turn he LOVES it!!
