Easter Thank You Cards

So, its Connor's first Easter and the Easter Bunny was very generous!!  (Well, he had some help if the postage labels give any indication...)  So we owed some Thank You notes.  Now, since I'm not the one eating all the Gerber Crunchies, Snack-ems, Pick-em-Ups, etc.  I only thought it fair that Connor participate.  The below is the result.  Consider it our Warshak Test.

Now, some people see the chick first and some see the footprint.  Don't know what that says about you.

Happy Stamping!

CTMH Art Philosophy Thank You Card

I have recently become a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant and as a Thank You for someone who helped me get started I made this card.  I used the Stella Paper Pack (G1032), Banners (Z1685) and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

Keep Stamping!!

$1 Stamps Organized

I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with organizing my scrapbook and stamp supplies.  One of my favorites solutions that I have implemented is pictured below.  For those small stamps (usually $1 at JoAnn's, Michaels, AC Moore, etc.) I have organized them into these Clear Snap containers that can be purchased at JoAnn's or even at Home Depot/Lowe's. I get them with the dividers inside.  The organizer without the dividers is also useful for larger acrylic stamp sets or extra Cricut cuts.

Please feel free to post your organizational ideas as this is one of my most favorite topics!!

Happy Stamping!

Stork Shower Card

Stork is cut from DCWV Linen Closet Cardstock slab, which I am kind of obsessed with.  I got mine at JoAnn's and have purchased two more since the original.

Image is cut at 4 inches from Holiday Cakes Cricut cartridge.

Frog Themed Thank You Cards

I received so many beautiful gifts while I was pregnant with my little man, I mass-produced these and that little bit of preparation was a god-send. 

The frog is from Create a Critter (you probably recognize it from Nursery post) and I ran the background paper through the Cuddlebug using the Seeing Spots embossing folder.  The Unfrog-getable is stamped from More Punny-Liscious by My Pink Stamper (http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ for retailers).

Nursery Preparation

So now you have met the little man, let me show you all of the projects that I did to prepare his nursery...

The frogs and dragonflies are cut from the Create a Critter cartridge.  I cut them out of Oh My Crafts Vinyl (http://www.ohmycrafts.com/).  I used Olive, Celadon,Persimmon, and Black.  I cut the large at 8 inches and the smaller ones at 3 inches.  I purchased a bedding set titled Froggyville from Ivy and Lambs, so these were inspired by the frogs in the bedding.

I'm BACK!!!

So, it's been almost a year since my last post.  In that time I got a job travelling, got pregnant and had a beautiful baby boy!  Travelling coast to coast while pregnant was an experience I'd prefer not to repeat, but the things I learned and the experiences I had were priceless!  Then after a month of bedrest, it was time to meet the little man.  Connor Scott was born on July 1st at 10:05 am.  He has been so amazing!!!

Now I'm a stay-at-home mom and excited to scrapbook, make cards and update you all on my projects!!  Look for much more to come!
