You're a Blast

Here is a fun card using the CTMH paper pack Rough and Tumble. I used the Stampin' Up stamp set Pun Fun. The rocket was colored using copic markers and I highlighted the streamers using my stickles. A fun and simple boy card.

Thanks for looking!

In the Stars

Here is another card using the layout found in Sheetload of Cards. I used CTMH's Rough and Tumble paper and the Stampin' Up stamp set In the Stars. The little red stars were made using the small SU star punch. How easy and simple!

Dinosaur Fun

Hello everyone, today I am sharing another card using a layout from sheetload of cards. The paper is CTMH Rough and Tumble. I used the stamp set from CTMH called Little Boys. This is a great stamp set if you have a little boy. The colors are CTMH Clover Meadow and Outdoor Denim.

Thanks for looking!

Dino-Mite

For the cards you will see the next couple of days, I used a layout from sheetload of cards. The paper is CTMH Rough and Tumble and the stamp set used here is My Favorite Things - Dino-Mite. I finally inked up this very cute set. I don't know about you but I find it's very difficult to find stamps for boy cards and this stamp set is great for that.

I stamped the image using CTMH Outdoor Denim ink and used my Cranberry marker to highlight the ribbon. Very easy and fun birthday card for a little boy!

She's Here!

After two days of contractions, Lily Kiyoko Vernon finally made her appearance on Tuesday, May 27 at 4:45 am. I arrived at the hospital at 2:45 am and she was born two hours later. Great she came fast but it also meant NO DRUGS! Plus, I had to wait a half an hour for the Dr. to come with the baby knocking at the door so to speak so she could've been born even faster!

Here she is right after being born. The nurse had just given her a bath and she did not like it one bit. She was 6 lbs, 14 oz and 19 inches long and she has tons, I mean tons of hair!

Here she is, 4 days old being held by my grandmother. You can see her crazy hair! My mom says that I had hair like that when I was born so she must take after me. Even though she is dark and Tyler is light they do look a bit alike. They seem to share the same nose and mouth and some of the pics we took when Lily was just born look like ones from when Tyler was first born. But here's a pic of the proud big brother.
He says he likes the baby and is always trying to give her kisses but ends up head butting her! So we have to keep an eye out! I hope everyone is well, I'm doing great! Talk to you all soon.

Pink Mother's Day

Here is a card that is a little late! It's a Mother's Day card that I made using Paper Trey Ink products. The cardstock as well as the ribbon and dp is all PTI. The stamps are Women of Life. I used the DP and my circle punch for the centers of the flowers.

Enjoy,

Board Short Card

This card uses all CTMH products. The sentiment was computer generated. Isn't cute? My dad is a surfer, I think that he would really enjoy this card for a Father's Day card.

Congrats Graduate

This card uses all CTMH products and uses the solo G CTMH stamp, black and white cardstock and red brads. A very easy card. It's a large card, 6x5. I plan on making a pocket for the inside that I can place a giftcard or some money for the graduate.

Enjoy,

Circle Book

Here is a coaster book using CTMH products. CTMH sells a circle book but this is an economical way to do the same thing by using circle coasters! It uses the Let's Get Together paper back and CTMH stamps. I haven't had a chance to put pictures in it yet but it would make a great gift or brag book for a grandparent!

Enjoy!

Pink Baby

This card was inspired by a boy card that I saw here. I made the card pink and used the SU stamps sets Fast and Easy Notes and In the Stars. The ribbon is Paper Trey Ink and I used Bella Baubles. The background cardstock was made using a Printworks polka dot template. I also used my swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder.

Tart and Tangy basket

This is another project that I made at my last month's Stampin' Up stamp camp. I forgot to share! It's a cute little basket using tart and tangy and Su cardstock and ribbon. It's filled with strawberry candies but these baskets could be used for any theme!

Enjoy,

Gift cards!

I love this project. So easy to do! Fun to make and have on hand because let's face it, most of us give out giftcards a time or two during the year or maybe our kids give them as gifts to friends. I found this very easy tutorial here. On this giftcard, I used my favorite SU Tart and Tangy stamp set and Summer Picnic dp. The inside was randomly stamped with SU Polka Dots and Pieces? stamp set.
This giftcard uses CTMH Delight in Everything paper and ribbon. The sentiment is So Many Scallops by SU.

This one uses CTMH's Delight in Everything paper and ribbon also! I also used Delight in Everything stamp set. Thanks for looking and I hope that this inspires you to make this fun and easy project!

Slot machine card

This card was inspired by a card that I saw on another blog but I didn't write it down! I, of course used my new favorites, SU's Tart and Tangy stamp set and Summer Picnic dp. It's like a slot machine design. I cut out the squares using a square punch and then put acetate behind the windows and mounted it on top of my stamped images with foam tape. I also used colors that I never really use, like orange. I think it's a little funky!

Enjoy!

More Summer Picnic

So sorry if you are sick of this paper but now that I have it out, it's really hard to stop playing with it! This card uses all SU products except for the blue cardstock band which is CTMH. Enjoy!

For Mother's Day, I also made my mom a little coaster book. The directions for this can be found on Nichole Heady's website.

This is the cover of my book. I used 4/4 coasters and instead of trimming and sanding the corners - just use your corner punch on the papers and it will make a nice rounded corner that matches up with the coasters. The flowers is from K and Company and the papers I used are from Scenic Route.

The ribbon is SU and the Happy Mother's Day sentiment is also SU. The numbers are from a CTMH alphabet set - I think The Works is what it's called.

When the ribbon is untied, you can see that each side is a little accordian book.

Here is one side of the accordian pages with pictures of my cutie pie. This is the cutest project, VERY easy to do. The directions are super simple to follow and the end results are fabulous. Sometimes when I follow tutorials or projects online, they NEVER come out looking as good as the project I saw online but this one did!
