Blast from the Past

Hello! Today I am a part of the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past blog hop! I have loved the Taylored Expressions stamps for awhile now, especially the Christmas stamps. Plus, now that Taylor's an Iowa girl too, gotta show her some love : ) I started with the sketch given, but it ended up very different! I used the Wings of Joy stamp set- it's so cute. I had an awful day at work yesterday and as I was putting the finishing touches on my card, it cheered me up. May you all find joy all around you this Christmas! Thanks for looking!

Here's the rest of the blog hop, Michelle Single is up next! I'm sure everyone will have great projects to show- I can't wait to look through them all today on my lunch break!

Give Thanks

This is another one of the cards I am making for a set of Autumn cards. I had some stamping time for myself this weekend (yay) and was able to get some cards made. This one came together quickly, and I really like the result! I used the Stamp TV sketch #39. Caleb helped me with the details. He hasn't really wanted to craft with me lately, but I've been sick since last Thursday and he's made me a card each morning! I'm a lucky momma! This is also my submission for Totally Stampalicious: So Totally Thankful. I'm thankful for my family and friends, our house, my ability to craft and share, and of course, my Savior and all his blessings. Thanks for taking a look!

Spooky Birthday

Hello! I found a digital stamp company from the Copic Creations blog, Tiddly Inks. I fell in love with one of their images in particular, Spooky Birthday, and thought, if only I knew someone who's birthday was in October, I would totally use that image. Luckily my mom reminded me that my sister's boyfriend, Rob, who is like a brother, has a birthday Oct 29th.... yay! So I placed my second order of the day : ) I had to color her right away, using my sister as inspiration! I really love how the card turned out. I used Taylored Expressions Sketch #130.

Be Still

Hello and happy Wednesday! I made this card for a friend from church who's going through a lot right now. Patrick made them a lasagna and I made the card to go with (trust me, it's better that way!) I used Taylored Expressions sketch 129 and the card came together quickly. I hope our little care package brings her some comfort. Thanks for taking a look.

Mojo Butterfly

Hello! I hope everyone reading had a great weekend. I worked last night so mine was short, but good. Last night a woman I work with gave me a cute little hat she made for Bailey. She had made one when Bailey was first born, but it was too small for her head. This one fits though, and is SO CUTE! I had some momma time tonight and used Mojo Monday Sketch 158 to make her a thank you card. I am really loving making round cards with their sketches. This is also my submission for Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge 31 "Wing It." I used VersaMark Dazzle to emboss the butterfly and then inked over it to create a denim look on the textured cardstock. Thank you for looking!
