60th birthday!

this past weekend i went to a surprise birthday party for one of my favorite people! this is the card that i made for her! i recently saw this envelope technique in a magazine and thought i would try it myself and i love how it turned out :)

happy birthday bonnie!!

teacups.

saw these teacups recently...love the colors and patterns! very fun...though the 125 dollar price tag is a little steep for me!

'stache.

i saw this - i think in the new hgtv magazine - and thought it was awesome. it is made by worldwidefred.com and they have sooooo many other great products...you should definitely check it out!

pears and apples.

these would be so cute as kitchen art! probably wouldn't be too hard to make either...if you had the right tools. my favorite are the pears and apples!

cards!

i haven't had a chance to post any new cards in awhile...so i thought i would share a couple that i made this summer!

stitched.

love these hand stitched cards! found them over on etsy.

instagram.

thought this was fun! a real life instaram cookie! made by bakerella.

balloons.

love these fun wedding invitations! so cute!

children's stories.

i love these posters made for children's stories! these were made by christian jackson and you can see more of them here! my favorite is the one for rapunzel!

gift wrap.

while browsing through pinterest recently, i came across some of these out of the box gift wrap ideas! thought i would share!
this one is my favorite...a little tedious though...but it looks awesome!

this one is double sided tape covered in confetti!

socks! hahaha i just hope they are new ones!

and this one just uses yarn!

Hello!

HELLO! wow...can't believe it has taken me this long to get back to my blog! sorry about my absence...it is hard to focus in the summer!

i found these adorable cards a long time ago...but i love how simple they are, but are also very cute! i think they would make anyone smile!

balloon wreath.

happy friday everyone!

i saw this balloon wreath idea over on amy atlas's design blog and thought it was so cute! a great idea for birthday decorations! she had linked to a tutorial for it...which you can find here!

stamps!

i recently got some new stamps and just started playing around with them! here are a couple new cards i have made:

lemons.

i think this commercial is adorable! i love the lemon's voice and face...it just makes me laugh!

wedding.

recently i was asked by a family friend to help her with a wedding gift. someone had given her a framed copy of her wedding invitation with the image of the church painted on the invitation...so she thought she would do the same and asked me to do something similar. well i haven't done a lot of non-computer art in quite a long time...so i was really nervous since i only had one copy of the invitation! but in the end i think all turned out well...could have been better, could have been worse...but my friend was very happy! so i am glad it worked out!

birthday.

hellooo! just popping in with a card a made recently for my mom's birthday!
