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!
I wanted to make a fun birthday card so I started browsing through my Cutting Cafe files... I thought this Ribbon Banner Shaped card would make a fun card base. The Ribbon Card comes with sentiments as well... The "It's Your Day" sentiment used on this card is just one of many that are part of the set.
I added a fun shaped cake and a funky flower and it is done. I hope the recipient enjoys this card.
BTW... Please forgive the photo... I tried removing the shadows with some photo editing software, but apparently I've no clue what I'm doing...
Enjoy...
When Regina (owner of the Cutting Cafe) sent the design team the cutting file for this shaped card, I knew that it was only a matter of time before I used it. That's because it's hard for me to resist creating a shaped card! I just love them.
You can find the Hot Air Balloon cutting file and template HERE. As a matter of fact, if balloons, kites, clouds, and the sentiments that go along with them interest you, then check out the Up Up in the Sky Printable Stamp Set...
Enjoy...

Meet Elisha Jean, one of the latest images from The Cutting Cafe. I am by no means a colored pencil / Copic user, but little Elisha made me want to explore a bit. Yep, shading, coloring, or even tinting without the aid of some software is untried territory for me. So please be patient..., I'm trying something new here (talking more to myself than to you...lol).
The Elisha set comes with a couple of friends, Ruby J and Mikala Ann. You can check 'em out HERE.
