Cards from Baby Showers

Here are some other cards that I received at baby showers. They were just too cute not to post!

This card was created by Margie. She did an awesome job! It's so cute and you can tell that she spent a lot of time and put a lot of love into it!

This card was made by the Flickner girls...so cute! I love this stamp set!

This card was made by Colette. Love the watercoloring on the crown!

And this last one was created by Jessica. Love the little onesie stamp! So cute and that saying is just perfect for a baby shower gift!

Good job girls! And thanks for all of your gifts and for coming to celebrate Brooke with us!

Cards from Grandma

Here is another picture of my sweet baby girl! Just to give you a little taste of what you are missing if you haven't seen her in person yet!

And below you will find the cards that Grandma Kathy made for Brooke and me at the many showers that she attended.
Love this cute little 3x3 card. I often forget about the 3x3 card! If you aren't going to mail it...what a cute and easy way to make a card for any event!

Love the use of watercoloring in this card! The little elephant is so cute!

Using hodge podge hardware is hard for me to do...but it looks so great! Better quit saving it and use it up!

Thanks for attending all of th showers and for all of the great gifts that Brooke and I use every day! We love you!

Cards by Grandma

First of all...here is a picture of my beautiful baby girl from today (Day 5 of life). Isn't she a cutie?

I love this one...it's so cute as a onesie! Love the use of all the scallops!

This rattle is a little shaker...so cute!

Love the use of the cuttlebug and the scallop! So cute!

Thanks Grandma for all the great gifts and the great cards!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Look at these cute cards that I got this Valentine's Day!

This first card came from my mom. Isn't it so cute?! Love the layout and the cute ribbon!

This second card is from my mother-in-law. I love this card too! Cute use of a paperclip!

And this last card is the one that my hubby made for me. He was the first one to use the cute new heart punch that I just got! I love that he can be creative for me! It's so cute!

A Few NEW Things!

There are a bunch of new things in the NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog! One of the things that I had to have on my first order was the NEW punch - Heart to Heart!

The above card was created by Kristina Werner. Isn't it cute? Doesn't it make you want to order this punch??!! (Item# 113694 - $15.95 US) I'm sure it will be one of my new favorite toys!

Have I mentioned that the new catalog is out?! You can view it here.

Baby Thank Yous!

So with your first baby comes A LOT of gifts. And when you get gifts you have to send thank yous. And when you are a Stampin Up demonstrator it would be silly to send out store bought Thank Yous! So...I'm making all of mine! Crazy? Kinda...but I've already made about 45! Just a few more to go...I think!

Made @ the CROP

Look what my lovely customers made at the last 12 hour crop that we had...they are so talented!

This owl card was made using the stamp set "Owl Together". Doesn't it just make you want to get this set?! I love it...it might find it's way into my collection soon! This card was made by Kathy. We had to take a picture with her hodge podge too because she actually used it! We were all very impressed!!!

Colette was working on her planner for the year. We buy these awesome planners that have spots for mini scrapbook pages! Isn't this one of her and her daughter so cute?! (I copied it...she was shocked...but when you see something good...sometimes you just have to copy!)

Margie was working on a sports album of her boys. She always makes cute, cute pages!!!

Jessica was working on her honeymoon album. I love her use of the scallop punch and the DSP on this page...I might have to copy it too!

And Tina was making a few Valentine's Day cards. Aren't they so cute?!

Birthday Cards #2

Here are the rest of my homemade birthday cards!

This first card was made by my mother-in-law. The paper is just so cute!

This card was also made by my mother-in-law (she gave me one and my sister-in-law gave me the other). I think the big scallop circle is AWESOME!

This last card was made by my mom. She used Basic Grey paper...isn't it so cute???

Come back tomorrow to see what everyone may at the last CROP!

Brithday Cards #1

I know that I haven't been on this blog very often and that is going to change! SORRY!

I wanted to show you a few of the birthday cards that I received for my 28th birthday (Jan 20th). They are very special and this is only half of them! HA HA!

The above card was made by my husband, Sam. He usually makes me a card for my birthday and you just gotta love the fact that he's down in my craft room trying to figure out a great card design and actually making a card. This year I asked him how he created the circles and the heart. If you can believe it, he used an exact-o knife for both! Is that amazing or what?

This card came from one of my customer, Lisa! She just recently moved away and I'm so glad that I still get to see her creations! You can't really tell from this picture but the orange is textured cardstock and there's a bit of glitter on this card!

This card came from my good freind and customer, Jinny! I am lovin the scallops lately and as you can see, Jinny is too! I just love the polka dot paper, little birdies, and the pink taffeta ribbon...might have to get some of that from my little baby girl's scrapbook!

And this final card came from my Mother-in-Law and great customer, Jean. She's lovin the scallop too! And you can't really see from this picture but the bottom portion of the card has a texture to it. She probably used her cuttlebug.

More cards to come later. I have a few more that I need to take pictures of a show off!
