Welcome...

So glad you chose to stop by!

I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.

Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...

Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...

Enjoy and come back SOON!

OH BOY!!!...New Baby Card

A friend of mine needed a baby card for one of her coworkers who just had a baby boy. I love looking at the various baby cards that I’ve seen on blogs here and there, but I never really create any myself. I’m thinking this is maybe my second one.

That didn’t change the fact that this card was fun to create. Of course, I chose to use scallops (not a new concept for me… I believe 90% of my cards have scallops of some sort). I'm in search of a new obsession... Until then scallops are it...

Anyway, thx to my trusty little Pazzles, I got a chance to cut two new fonts, Revue and DB Sweet Baby Clothes. The baby booties actually started as a font and was converted to be cut with Pazzles… I’d say that’s a pretty neat machine…

Who’s #1…? JOSEPH's #1

If you’ve visited my blog before you’ve seen several cards where Joseph is the focal… Well today he’s the little man of honor because he turned ONE!!! His Mommy and Daddy planned a birthday bash for him… Don’t know about you, but I’m of the opinion that all super special one year olds should have super special personalized cards.

The first one is a party hat that started as a piece of clipart and was converted using my Pazzles. The pictures on the hat were taken from Joseph’s Blog.

The train on the second card comes from the New Arrivals Cricut Cartridge. Got the idea of using the New Arrivals train from Regina Easter’s Bitten By The Bug (BBTB) Challenge.

And finally, the last card is a simple card made using the Pazzles machine.

Just make it BLACK & YELLOW…

When I was asked to do this card the criteria was simply to make it BLACK and YELLOW. Alrighty then, I can definitely handle that one – especially with all of the black and white paper that I have just waiting to be used.

Anyway, the card has been passed on to both the requestor and the recipient. Both were pleased and that makes me happy…

The MORE Things CHANGE…

…the MORE they stay the SAME (at least with this set of cards)… I was asked to recreate a couple of cards that I'd done in the past. To switch it up a bit, I chose different paper and ribbon than those used with the original cards. I’ve got to admit that it was just as much fun doing it again as it was the first time. Hope the recipients like them…

Enjoy…
