Just Some Stuff...

These are some various projects that I have been working on...Other then Christmas cards. 

This card is something that I saw on a MPS blog post.  It's called a "spring card" because it "springs" up when it's taken out of the envelope.  It was really simple to make and I've been dying to use this paper by Basic Grey.  I use MPS Fabulous Phrases stamp set..."Sending you lots of love."  I'm giving it to my aunt who is recovering from surgery. 

This is an ornament that I recently made.  It's for the Pink By Design ornament swap.  It's not the best, but every idea that I had kept getting jacked up or wouldn't work out.  I was trying to do a sort of snow glob effect, but it didn't quite work out.  Maybe next time...

These are some gift boxes that I made using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  This was one of the first cartridges that I purchased, but hardly used it.  This first one I am giving to my sister with her birthday present in it.  She loves elephants and I bought her a handmade elephant pendant.  The other one is probably going on etsy.  :)

This box held some goodies for a friend of mine.  She watched my dog for the day and overnight.  She loved it!

I just wanted to show some of the other things that I have been working on.  I will probably have plenty more Christmas cards posted soon, but for now....EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!!!

Bunch of Cards....

It's been over a month since I've posted anything!  I feel so ashamed!  Life is just a bit crazy in my world right now.  BUT...I have been busy making stuff.  I have about 60 cards that I have to have done by the end of the week.  I've got about 25 left to make.  A majority (45) of them have been Christmas cards.  The 10 have been Birthday cards and the last 5 are a mixture of "all occasions" cards.  I do a special for "buy 10 get 2 free."  So in reality I have 70 cards that I need to have done....so I guess that means that I really have 55 left to make....Oh dear! 

Since I don't really have time to make a really long post or several posts about how I made each one, I figured I would just show you all the bunch that I have so far.....

All of the paper (except on the first card) is from CTMH.  Stamps are either from CTMH, Pink By Design, or My Pink Stamper.  Pretty much anything else is from CTMH.   If you have questions about any of the cards, feel free to ask! 

THANK FOR LOOKIN!!!

Another BDay Card...

Hey ya'll!  I've got another lovely birthday card to share....Not much to say today.  Just been hangin' out around the house and babysitting.  The little girl I'm babysitting did the cutest thing today.  She just randomly started playing peek-a-boo and doing the hand motions all on her own.  It was SO cute!  She's talking so much more now and she's just so cute! 

Anyway...here is the card....

 RECIPE:
~Paper: All paper is from CTMH.
~Ink & Markers: CTMH.
~Stamps: CTMH - Piece of Cake for cake and cupcakes; PBD - Birthday, Birthday for "Happy Birthday"
~ Gems: Walmart

THANK FOR LOOKING! 

Cupcake Birthday...

Hey ya'll!  I hope everyone is doing alright!  Been busy painting the house.  FINALLY!  I was able to talk the hubby into finally letting me paint.  Hehe!  I wouldn't let him hang anything on the walls and it was annoying him so he finally gave into letting me paint!  :)  Haha...I'm sneaky! 

I've been trying to finish up the invites and party stuff for my friends boys birthday...but she's dragging her feet on getting me the numbers.  Granted his birthday isn't until October 19, but I have other orders I need to do as well.  I'm one of those people that needs to focus on one thing at a time.  Well...I can do more then one, but when I have big projects I like to knock one out before I move onto the next.  So since I have to wait...I decided to work on birthday cards that my mom ordered.  This is what I have done today.....
