R.I.P. Cousin Haddy

This past week the girls had to say goodbye to Cousin Haddy. Since 2016 she lived with Aunt Mary where she had an awesome life being an only child. A constant shadow with tons of attitude. She will be missed.

Happy Birthday - 52

I recently received a scrapbook.com gift card from The Scrap Gals and picked up this cool freebie Camera Die and Embossing Folder. The dog is from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Dogs set.

Happy Birthday - 14

Here is the last of three masculine birthday cards for this month. This was actually the first card that I made in the series. Same papers and ephemera used on the other two.

Happy Birthday - 73

Here is birthday card number 2 for the month. Same papers and elements. The sentiment is from Heidi Swapp.

Happy Birthday - 64

This month my family is celebrating three birthdays. Here is the first card that I made using paper from a Tim Holtz Ideology paper pack (I think) and ephemera that I've had for years. All three cards were made on the same day and have a similar theme.

Sympathy Cards for Men

I guess you would say that these cards are not your traditional sympathy cards but what can you really say when a husband loses a wife at such a young age? One that loves fishing and the other with a new found appreciation for golf. May you rest in peace Teresa and Libby.

Leaf Love

Another Tim Holtz inspired leaf card. Paper, background stamp and die is from SU. Leaf stamp is from Tim Holtz Stampers anonymous.

Happy Birthday - Leaf Love

This card was inspired by Tim Holtz and his Leaf Love challenge on Instagram. The leaf die is from SU, the leaf print is from Tim Holtz and the background embossing folder is from Anna Griffith. Happy Birthday Ken!

 

Creepin' It Real 2

 Another take on the Tim Holtz 2019 Stampers anonymous pumpkin stamp.

Creepin' It Real

A little Tim Holtz inspiration as we get closer to COVID-19 Halloween. This pumpkin stamp and sentiment are from Tim's 2019 Stampers anonymous collection.

Happy Birthday #2

One of my best friend's from high school is celebrating a birthday this month. She has been going through some tough times with her parents and doesn't take much time for herself. Although it's a small gesture, I thought this Tim Holtz inspired butterfly card would put a smile on her face. The paper is from Idea-ology and the butterfly stamp is from SU.

Happy Birthday!

I made this Birthday card for my sister-in-law who loves gardening and has a beautiful yard. The focal point of this card is a wooden trellis/gate from Wycinanka. The papers are from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology 8"x8" Etcetera pack.

 

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! If you couldn't tell I've really loved using this bridge stamp that I found on Etsy (pinkflamingo61).

Another Bridge Card

I am totally loving this Golden Gate bridge stamp from Etsy. This time I embossed in gold and splattered inside and out with gold ink. Happy 13th Birthday Nathan!

Tag Birthday Card

I've had this tag sitting in my scrap pile forever and had never thought of using it on a card until recently. The butterfly was a last minute addition to what was meant to be a masculine card. Happy Birthday Chip!

Bridge Card

I purchased this stamp from Etsy for another project and thought it would make a great masculine birthday card stamp.

Anytime Card

I recently subscribed to Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine and used this sketch for what I'm calling the Anytime Card. If you haven't checked out their website you're missing out. I would highly recommend subscribing to the magazine (it's so beautiful), you can also download it from their website. What?!

Best Friend Valentine

I made this for one of my besties from high school. She is one of the best people I know and has apparently kept every card I've ever made for her.

Z-Fold Wedding Card

Congratulations Brittney and Jacob! This is a Z-Fold card inspired by Pinterest so it opens forward and stands up like an easel. #GotMeFeelinLikeTheWardAgain

Birthday Card - Boy

The sea turtles for this card came from a World Wildlife Fund (@World_Wildlife) mailer that I received with 6 complimentary cards and mailing labels. I repurposed the turtles for this card and combined it with some really old Heidi Swapp travel themed paper. Happy Birthday!
