Birthday Party invites for Zav and Kai

I have two March babies...Makai and Zavian. Since they are both still young and Makai was fine with it I decided to to a combo birthday party! Since they are a boy and girl, clearly they had to have separate invites:) So here they are... Zavians half of the party was pirates! Above is a picture of the inside and a close up, below is some of the bunch.

And Makai wanted Hello Kitty. I have to say I LOVED Hello Kitty as a kid so was thrilled to have this theme!

Cards week two

Week two of parks in Rec. The first card is a cute and bright birthday card! I used the level 1 hostess set birthday bakery. I love this set. I think it is so cute! (pacific point, crumb cake, whisper white, peach parfait, old olive, real red, so saffron)
Valentine's Day cards were requested by a few of the attendees. I don't mind at all since I absolutely LOVE valentines day! This set is I{heart}hearts! I used the retired epoxy brads to add a little bling and popped up the center heart to add some dimension (very vanilla, real red, chocolate chip)

Here is our brand new amazing flower punch!!! I love this thing. Such a fast simple card.

(soft sky, so saffron, peach parfait, whisper white)

Did you miss me?

I know, I really wish I could always post when I want to , but as you all know life happens! My house went through 3 waves of sickness in January and I hardly had a chance to breathe.

With that being said I just completed a set of parks and rec classes and so I wanted to share the first week with you! The first card is a bit versatile. It could easily be a birthday card, love card, friendship card or valentines day card. I used the new cupcake punch from the stampin up occasions mini. added a little glitter and dimension! (chocolate chip, whisper white, pink pirouette, real red)
Here is the second card we made with the Flight of the butterfly set. The butterflies are popped up and the orange one is the kissing technique (peach parfait, whisper white, early espresso and crumb cake)

And this card is made with my favorite set in the new mini catalog. Its called nature walk. Keep your eye open for my March classes. we will be making a frame with this set!

(very vanilla, crumb cake, baja breeze, and certainly celery)

See you tomorrow!

Gift for a friend

For Christmas I had this great idea that I was gonna start early and hand make a ton of gifts!

Ha!

So a ton urned into a few and here we are with one of the few things I made!

Its a small cork board for displaying creations, notes or pictures! I stamped the cork added a few embellishments and distressed it a bit!

Here is a close up of the bow and details. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cards and Family

Hey everyone! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~I know I am a little late getting some of this out but this holiday season has been a bit crazy:) Anyways here are the kiddos on Christmas day...the 3 middle are mine and the other three are my nieces and nephew. This are the best two shots I had of the 7 I took. Guess that is what happens with this many kids!
And even though I got my cards done in time, somehow the addressing of them is still happening:0 I know, I know, but really who says Santa is just for Christmas:)

Here is a close up of my Santa card..

And this is a chunk of the ones I made. I think in total I did 35 of these, and then used all the ones from my classes. Maybe next year I will start addressing in November!
