Personalized gift set

Hello everyone!!! Hope you girls had a Wonderful Christmas and got to spend some time with your loved ones. And, of course, hope you received some good stuff from Santa :) I sure have.
But today I just wanted to share a set of cards I made for my hubby's grandmother.

Her name is June. I made a set of 10 cards and used several different colors (but I only took a picure of purple and green). I really like this new Cuttlebug folder - it creates a really nice frame
And I made the box for all those cards

I'm going to use this for following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

Sassy Studio Design - clean and simple

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're enjoying this Holiday Season!

Birthday card

Good evening! I hope you all had a great Monday and a wonderful start to your week! My goodness, it's February! WOW, time just flies so fast :)
Today I have a simple birthday card that I made for my mother-in-law (she's going to send it to her sister Patty) I used small CB folders and blue rhinestones for the centers. I also embossed two lines on top and bottom of the CB embossed image to give it a more "finished" look. The card is layered with blue card stock and it had a lot of blue, so I decided to add a hot pink ribbon :)
I also found a nice sister's birthday poem for her and put in inside of the card...
I really hope she likes it. Thank you for stopping and happy crafting!!

Birthday card for a niece

Yeah!!! I got to craft a little today. We had to go see my husband's parents (we did the gift exchange today, since it snowed like crazy on Christmas and I got $30 gift card for Michael's YEAH!!), so I only got an hour in the morning and I took advantage of the time I had. My MIL asked me to make a card for her so she could send it to her niece. She only specified two things: 1) to have word "niece" someone on the card and 2) have "Michelle" typed somewhere...
So I decided to make a card for Just Us Girls challenge, so here is the card I made....
Being crazy for blue I used navy blue and white. And then I thought it needed more color... So I colored my girl's dress in fuchsia and tied a hot pink bow... I know this ribbon is supposed to be for Christmas, but I thought it looked so girly with all that sparkle, so I used it here :)

And as you see I typed word "niece" on the front. And then I found this nice birthday poem for a niece online and changed the first line to read "Michelle" (the original was: I really am so fortunate)...

Girls, I want to thank you for stopping by and visiting my simple blog. I do appreciate your visits and comments! Thank you for your sweet words and encouragement. I don't have my family close (they live on the other side of the planet), except my DH, I feel a need to share my crafty accomplishments and difficulties with someone else other than my hubby (bless his heart, he's been so patient). Someone who understands, someone is going or may be has gone through the same troubles, learned something new... So I THANK YOU for giving me the opportunity to share with you!!!!!!!

Enjoy your Sunday!

C4C15 Snowmen/or snowflakes challenge

Today I'm going to be sharing something really new for me and super exciting. My friend asked me to create a photo card for her (the one where she could slide her card in). So I was super excited about the self challenge :) I have never done any of these and didn't find any instructions anywhere, so I came up with my own measurements and layout.

And Crazy for Challenges has a super challenge to use snowmen or snowflakes on your card. What a SUPER idea!!!! So, here is my creation:

I decided to make a card in shape of a house. I used glitter for the snow on top of the roof and the snowman and 3D paint for the snow on top of the roof :) Yes, it is scalloped opening for the card :)

Here is another image to really see the glitter

I gave it to my friend yesterday and she totally loved it. So now I'm going to make some for myself too :) Yeah!
Enjoy your weekend!

another birthday card

Good evening!

I didn't think that other birthday card was special enough, so I made my dear hubby another birthday card... here it is:

I don't have those super-duper copic markers (actually just one - "sand"). I own a box of regular watercolor pencils and regular markers from Hobby Lobby. So the coloring takes longer for me, but now that I bought some watercolor paper - it makes it sooo much easier. The image I used is a digital stamp from Jessica Lynn originals. And I cut letters with cuttlebug. Oh yes, and I gave my Brentwod (that's the name of this owl) a sweater :)

Yes, you guessed right! My hubby's name is Sean :)

Happy birthday, sweetie!!!!

Personalized card

Hello! Hello!

I'm so excited to share my project with you. I spent most part of yesterday working on this project (not because it was so difficult, but because it is time consuming).

I made these specially for my friend Denise. She asked me to make some personalized note cards and so I gave it a shot.

I showed her different embossed images (of my wonderful cuttlebug of course) and she picked this one - Fleur's and birds. I picked this ribbon because I find it so delicate - it is sheer, but adds color and has glitter for sparkle :)
I also used rhinestone (smoked topaz) in her name. It's kind of hard to see, but I used dimensionals on my ovals (both, regular and scalloped). I also showed her different fonts and she picked this one and asked to spell it all in low caps.

I made 10 of them, and here they are...

And to finish it all off, I wrapped the box and created a tag. I will be giving it to her tomorrow and I really hope she likes it.

Thank you for stopping by!
