You Can Never Have Too Many

I'm going to be whipping up some more thank you cards to keep on-hand. It seems there's always a chance to use them. This is one I made using some scraps I had, for the end-of-the-year card for one of my kids' teachers.

Babies, Babies, Everywhere!

There are so many new babies coming into the world to people I have the privilege of knowing! You know what that means? More cards! Lots and lots of baby cards. I made these with a special someone in mind who I believe likes simple. So here they are, simple baby cards.

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a great Mother's day, whether you are a mom, or just spent it thinking of your mom and the other wonderful ladies in your life. We've had a full house for the last couple weeks with nearly all of my siblings(only one of my sisters was missing) and their families, and my mom in town for a visit. It made for a great mother's day for me!









I altered a box for my Mom for her gift this year. The great thing about this box is that the flower on the lower left was made by my daughter in school a few years back. It was originally a pin. So it's actually got a touch of both her and me in it's creation. My mom tells me she's going to keep the photos she's working on in it. I also made her and my MIL both cards for the occasion. My mom's is the "You" card, and my MIL's is the "Mom" card.

We took a nice walk with the kids and saw a few wild flowers, and more than a few slugs. The last photos I leave you with today, show a glimpse of Seattle wildflowers in the spring time. Even on the sunny days, there are reminders of rain.

Nana's Birthday

My MIL's birthday is coming up in a few days. To my kids, she is Nana. I thought I'd share the card I made for her last year, as well as the one I finished up for her this year. The blue and brown card was her 07' card. The pink is the new one for this year. She's a really special person, and we miss her terribly. Have a great birthday! We love you!

Spring is in the air

When my daughter was littler, she had this cute little headband with a big blue mesh flower. It had floating silver balls that rolled through the transparent pettals. The flower has long since fallen off. I've been holding onto it for the longest time. I decided it needed to dress up this bag. This cute pp that's been in my stash reminds me of spring so much, and went perfectly with the big blue mesh flower. I'm going to tuck some turtles into it and give it to a friend. Who can resist chocolate and caramel! Now if I can just wish spring here, we'd be all set!

Birthday Wishes

It was my friend Holly’s birthday yesterday! Since “Happy” and”Holly” both start with H, I thought the occasion would make a perfect window/monogram card. The flower on the inside was a left over from a craft project my daughter did. I am so glad she let me use it!

My mom finally received her birthday present and card, so I can post it here now. I have a few porjects in the works. If I can actually focus enough to finish one of them, I'll have more to show you soon!
