Happy V-Day!

I made these little treat tubes for my daughter to give out to friends. College kids love things like that and she is a hero! I used the February promotion "Whooos Your Valentine" from CTMH. I even used my new Cricut to cut all the shapes out, using the Artist cartridge from CTMH.
Enjoy!    Karen

Card share - Thank you

I did this card for a local swap group that I am in for January.  Theme was "Thank You."    I drew my inspiration from a similar card on Pinterest.
Paper, stamp, ink and pearls are all CTMH.    Butterfly punches are Martha Stewart..  Hexagon die is by Sizzix.    Enjoy!

LO Share - 2007

Yes, I have been terrible about finishing up both of my kids senior photos. I think I got too many (is that possible)? This is my DS. I love using flowers on his layouts (when it works).
Paper is from Crate Paper.  Enjoy!

LO share - Grad 2010

I finally am getting around to posting some layouts that I've done recently.  This is one of my DD's grad photos.  I struggled with this layout as I kept wanting to put pretty patterned paper that just did not work with the books background of the photo.  So I finally decided to go black/white and I'm happy with the results.   Thanks to my friend, Kristin F, for the dollie, fresh from Red Snapper restaurant in Surfside, Texas.     Thanks to my other friend, Angie B. for the cool frame she cut for me!

Card Contest

At the Scraptabulous crop I attended on Saturday, they had a card contest where they dumped a bunch of supplies the leaders had from workshops or scraps. The participants were to make a card just from those supplies. We could use our own stamps or punches, but we couldn't add anything - paper, embellishments, etc. Below is my card (although the color isn't that great). I won the contest! Yeah!
If you are in the Houston area, go to this blog for more info about the Scraptabulous Crops. Enjoy! Karen
