Something a little different today

Hey there - it's almost Friday - well, here in my neck of the woods - for those of you who are already there - I'm jealous :) 

Today, I decided to show you something other than a card and hope that I'll be posting more scrapbook layouts in the coming months - I am so far behind with my layouts and have to get busy on them.

A few years back Patrick and Jim went to see the USC Gamecocks football game and I gave Patrick a disposable camera so he could take pictures of his adventure.  Well, he came back with some of the most amazing pictures - it was neat to see how he saw the day.  He helped me put his scrapbook together and it was so much fun.  I recently entered a design team call and entered this layout - Patrick helped me pick it out and thought he did a great job.

I hope you enjoy.  I probably won't post anything new tomorrow, but will be back over the weekend.

Have a great Friday

Last baby card

Hey:

Here is the last of the baby cards I made for my friend and it is the once she asked me to make for her older son, who is 16 months.  I love this embossing folder and can see myself using it a lot more in the coming months.

I will have something new for you tomorrow :)

Enjoy your evening

Twin cards

Hey:

Three days in a row, I'm doing good :)  Here are the cards I made for my friends who had twins recently.  I have one more to show you and will be back tomorrow to show you.  

I'm sorry for having a short post today, Patrick is swamped with algebra homework that he needs help with and then has leadership starting soon, so I'm off to help out.

Have a great evening.

Big Brother

Good evening:

As promised, here is the card I made for my friend from work who just had twins.  She asked me to make a card for their big brother, Anderson.  Anderson is 16 months, so I struggled with what to do and after talking to his mom, she and her husband are going to write something meaningful and place it in his baby book so he can read it when he gets older.  This is what I finally came up with; I just love the colors of this card and thought it turned out pretty good.

I'll be back tomorrow with the cards I made for the twins.

Have a great evening and see you tomorrow

Pinterest

Hey everyone:

I don't have a card to post right now, that's going to come later, but wanted to share a new and fun place to be a part of.  Recently, a friend told me about Pinterest and if you haven't heard of this, you need to take a look at it because I have found it to be a great place to keep all your wonderful finds (creative and otherwise) in one generalized place (no more cut, paste and print to put into a binder for me).  I am putting a button on my sidebar (upper left hand corner) where you can click and it will take you to my Pinterest page.  I would love for you to start following me and if you do, I'll visit your page and do the same.  As Pinterest says, "happy pinning."

It is a lot of fun and like I said, a great place to keep you a little more organized and meet new people.

I'll be back later on today with the "big" brother card I promised last night.  See you later.

They're having twins ...

Hi everyone:

It is nice to be back posting a card I made onto my blog once again and hope you won't be disappointed with what I show you.  We have 3 ladies in my office who are/had twins over the summer and one of them asked me to make some cards for her.  She wanted me to make her husband a card so she can give it to him after the birth of the twins (a boy and a girl) along with a card for their older brother.  As we were talking, she asked me if I thought it would be a good idea to have one made for each of the children so she and her husband could write something special in them and give it to them later on in life - how sweet is that and of course, I said yes.  Over the next few days, I'm going to show you those cards.  The first one I'm showing you is the one I made for her husband.  It was very difficult coming up with something for twins, but after doing some research, found a card something like the one you see and feel in love with it.  The lady I CASED this from (I'm sorry, I can't remember who it was) had used a "double the love" stamp but since I didn't have it, used my computer, printed it out and colored in the cute little faces.  Nina loved the card and I can't wait until she gets back to work so I can find out how her husband liked it.  I'll be back tomorrow with the one I did her the "big brother".

Have a great Monday

Well, I believe ...

I'm making a comeback :)  Well, I'm going to give it a try.  It has gotten a little slower here, so I'm going to give it a shot.  For my first "come-back" post, I'm going to put up a great giveaway by my wonderful friend Sonia, over at Archiving Angel.  Sonia has the best blog where she gives us great tips, fabulous finds, etc. - believe me, they are awesome and has gotten me in the purchasing mode many times :)  Sonia is trying to reach 500 followers and doesn't have to far to go, so please head over to her blog, Archiving Angel, and become a follower for a chance to win - you will NOT be disappointed.

I'll be back soon to post a few cards that I have worked on while on hiatsis.  See you soon.
