Another engagement card- a fun one!


So Erik's cousin Keith proposed to his girlfriend by making her breakfast in bed with pancakes and spelling "will you merry me" in syrup! How cute! So I made this card for Erik's other cousin Carly who will be sending this to Keith. I added some glossy accents to the butter to make it pop and popped the pancake up with a 3D square.

CAS-ual Fridays- engagement card



I ended up making two cards for this sketch at CAS-ual Fridays! So many engagements recently that I can't even keep up with them all! This one was a special request by my husband's cousin Carly for his other cousin Amy. She loves black and white! I still can't decide if I like the silhouettes or not...

CAS-ual Fridays sketch challenge- flowery butterfly card



This card was made using the sketch from CAS-ual Fridays CFC37. I haven't been super into making cards lately, but sometimes all it takes is a little new paper to get me going again! I love the hounds-tooth with heart side of this paper, so cute!

Twisted Sketch #91 "Old"

This week's twist over at Twisted Sketches  was "old". I used the twist to incorporate both the look of the card, and the sentiment...


I found these little crocheted doilies that I forgot about so that was exciting!

Clean and Simple 173

 For this week's Clean and Simple sketch, I loved the tree so I wanted to keep that in the sketch...this die is from Memory Box and I bought it awhile ago and still haven't used it! Glad I finally did. I had to run this little bugger through a few times to get it to cut cleanly but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. This card makes me feel like spring...can't wait for winter to be over.

Birthday card....followed by a pregnancy card!

I totally thought I posted these cards but I guess I didn't! I made this card for my friend Jess's birthday and liked it so much, I made another one for my friend's pregnancy! Here it is...
