Very First Tuxedo

This layout is of my sweet little 4 yr old in his first tuxedo. He was asked to be a ring bearer in a wedding a few weeks ago and he looked too cute! Anyway, the cardstock IS CTMH and SU. The patterned paper is Anna Griffin. The ribbon I used is M's own brand. My pazzle was used for the title and decorated in stickles. All stamps and ink used is CTMH. Also I threw in some doodle bug sugared brads for flower centers. TFL!

Thinking of You!

Here is a card I did today because I got my Tart and Tangy set from SU. I have been wanting it for a while so I finally broke down and bought it. I used SU and CTMH stamps. The cardstock is also SU and CTMH. Ink is CTMH and I used Offray ribbon. TFL!

Yet another!

Ok so she needed two and here is the other. I used all CTMH stuff except for the ribbon which is HL. Also, I used my cricut to make the scalloped circle and the circle. I was going to use my nestibilities, but when I was trying to use them I broke my cuttlebug! I thought those things were unbreakable. Guess what.....they're not! So I ordered a new one today and got it cheap with free shipping. TFL!

Thank You!

Here is another card I made for my #1 customer. Did I mention she is my only customer ;) Anyway, I worked on this one a while trying to get it to gel. I used SU paper, cardstock, ribbon, and ink. Ctmh stamp was used for the greeting and the flower is american crafts. TFL!

Finally a layout!

It's about time, right! So here you go, my first blog posted LO! Here I am in the 8th grade(OMG...look at my hair). I used Basic Grey, SU, and Hobby Lobby paper, CTMH stamps, pazzle for title, stickles, Anna Griffin ribbon, my trusty uniball, and can't remember where I got the chipboard. Anyway, TFL!

Thanks so much!

Hello! Sorry I have not posted in a while. I was on vacation with my DH and parents. We had a fabulous time! My son stayed with my MIL while we were away so I made this card for her to thank her. I used SU paper and cardstock along with my new nestibility scalloped square set.Also I used SU stamps and CTMH inks and M's ribbon. I think it turned out nicely!

K Werner Color Inspiration

For those of you not familiar with Kristina Werner and her blog, you must check it out! She works for SU's head offices as a designer and is crazy talented! So, I see her color inspiration challenges every week and have always wanted to participate. So, I got the guts up this week and this is what I came up with. I probably should have waited for a challenge with less white(because I think it is really hard using a lot of white!), but I went for it anyway. So, this is my entry. I wrote with my pazzles in the center of the flowers. I love doing that! It is one of my favorite things to do with the machine. All the paper is SU. The stamp is CTMH and the ribbon is American Crafts. Anyway, let me know what you think. TFL!

Another Birthday card!

This one is for our friend Vickie! The stamp, patterned paper, ribbon and ink is CTMH. The cardstock is SU and Bazzill. She is a hard one to please so this was tricky! So fingers crossed!

Birthday card

This Cheery card is for my DH's Auntie Wendy. Another one commissioned by my MIL. She said she wanted something fun. Well, what is more fun than these colors? Not much ;) I used SU paper and my cricut for the flowers. The stamps and ink are CTMH. The ribbon I used is offray of coarse(because they have a massive selection at J's!). Enjoy!

Love

This is another one for my Mother-In-Law. My Brother-In-law is getting married in August so she needed a card for that wedding. She is my best(and pretty much only) customer. She was wanting something with the bridal attire on it. So, with my ever so handy cricut this is what I came up with. I used the paper doll dress up cart and Stretch your imagination cartridges. The paper is DCWV except for the pink paper and I cannot remember where I got that. The stamp is CTMH and I also used liquid pearls to make the dress and flowers pop. Oh the ribbon is my fancy Anna Griffin ribbon(which is fabulous!!). Hope it is what she was looking for. TFL!

Thank you!

Here is what I did this morning. I am not sure who it is for yet though. I used CTMH and SU cardstock, CTMH stamp, CTMH and Le Blume markers, Offray ribbon, and CTMH chipboard embellishment, and stickles(because they can hide a multitude of sins ;)) I am concerned it is too plain, but my DH says less is more so what the hay. I will leave it as is. Thanks for looking!!

Love you a Latte!

Happy Tuesday! Well, this card is made using a stamp set I got yesterday and could not wait to use. It is CTMH as is the cardstock, patterned paper, brads, and ink. I also hand wrote the greeting with my uniball because the white stamp pad was not cooperating. Oh and the ribbon is Offray. I have not decided who to give this to yet. Maybe to my DH since our anniversary is next month. Thanks for looking!

Sweet!

Hello everyone! This card is for a cousin of mine who is having a baby. I used the "flower child" stamp set by CTMH. All the cardstock and ink is CTMH. The ribbon is from J's and the charm is CTMH.

This is my attempt at coloring stamps with out those wonderful copic markers. They are way out of my budget for now :-( I just need to call my cousin to get her address!! Thanks for looking!

Close To My Heart!

Ok everyone, I have been a Close To My Heart consultant for several months now. I mainly signed up for the discount and have not sold anything to anyone, but myself. Now, I have people asking me about some of the CTMH stuff that is on my blog and where to buy it. So I figure I needed to go ahead and set up my CTMH website that my upline has been asking me to set up anyway. From this website you can look at the catalog and place orders with a credit card. It will then be shipped to you! Which is good because if I enter it in the order on my side I think it will be sent to me, then I send it to you. A bit of a hassle.

So if you are interested in any CTMH products that I use, feel free to take a look at the catalog. I like their stuff a lot or would not have signed up.

Have a good Monday! Oh and here is the site--- http://melaniembrown.myctmh.com/

CTMH Birthday card for my niece

A card for my darling niece Lexy. It is a little over the top for a 1st birthday card, but I thought she would like the bright colors. I used CTMH paper and cardstock, J's ribbon, and my trusty white uniball. I need to find out if you can buy them by the case because I think I totally would if I could! Those things are so much fun to use! If you do not have one you really should get one. I get mine at my LSS( The Scrapbook Barn), but I am sure you can get them online.

Thinking of You

Here is a card I made yesterday for a friend of mine. I used a Martha Stewart punch, Oval nestibilities, SU stamp, SU cardstock, Anna Griffin paper, M's ribbon, CTMH flowers, and liquid pearls for the center. I hope this cheers her up, she needs it!

Me and Klo!

Ok for those of you not in the know, Klo is THE pazzle goddess. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting her at the Great American Scrapbooking Convention I attended on Thursday! She is so nice! I think she is surprised that she has a following, but she totally does! If is was not for her and a Pazzle MB that I go to I would be so lost! So thanks Klo!
As a side note, my mom went with me(even though she does not scrapbook...sweet, right!) and she had to go to the bathroom and I did not but went with her anyway. So , I am waiting for her and who comes out of the stall that I am kinda standing in front of....Klo! So it looked like I was stalking her! How embarrassing!

Another wedding card

This card I made as an alternate to the other or I might give it. I got the idea from Page 71 in the May issue of Paper Crafts magazine(I triple love that magazine!) by Lisa Nichols. I changed it up a bit though. The stamp set is from SU and the paper is SU and CTMH. I used SU ribbon and my embellishments are from HL. I am not sure the brand of the flowers, but the pearls are "Pearl's Pearls" I really love using them! I think they add alot!

Wedding card

This card was commissioned by my British mother-in-law. She is attending a wedding stateside this month and requested me to make her a card for the event. I happily obliged and this is what I came up with. This lavender concoction is made with Anna Griffin and CTMH textured paper in petal. I used HL ribbon, American Crafts flowers, a Martha Stewart Punch for the trim, CTMH stamp and ink, and CM oval cutting system. She has not seen it yet. I hope she likes it!

Thanks a bunch!

Here is a card I did a while back using my cuddlebug and the cute flower piecing cuddlebug die set. The paper is a mish mash of DCWV and HL paper. Which BTW is terrible for the cricut! My pazzle cuts it much better for what ever reason. I have halted my buying the paper. Which stinks because they have some nice color cardstock. It just is not as good quality as others I have. I also used a bit of stickles and some misc. ribbon from my stash.

First entry!

Ok, well here we go! I am venturing out a bit and starting a crafting blog. I make so many cards/scrapbook pages that I figured I should share. Not only that, I have been peeking at other sites for inspiration. So, I guess it is only fair that I give back!

So if you are a card maker/scrapbooker who is not committed to one supply company this might be a place you will want to visit! I use CTMH, Stampin' Up, CM, Anna Griffin, Pazzles, Provo Craft, Bazzill, Prima, Ranger, and Basic Grey just to name a few. Also, I am a little all over the place on my style so it is a bit of a hodge podge. So, somethings you might love and other things may not be for you.

I will tell you what I think about different crafting tools and supplies. Also, any help I can offer on using them or making stuff I will do my best. I am not the best at teaching, but I will do what I can.

So off we go! Let's craft!
