Campfire Card

My baby boy, Isaac, is going camping in a couple days with my parents. It's one of his special times with them during the year. I thought it would be nice to make him a card to let him know I will be thinking about him while he is gone.  Enjoy!

Elegant Wedding Card (I-Rock)

Here are two wedding cards I had to whip up VERY quickly today. We have a wedding tomorrow and my parents have a vow renewal on Monday to attend.  My girls were napping so I was able to design these and put them together with just enough time.  {ALSO} My wonderful Grandma was able to find TWO I-Rock tools at Michaels the other day and graciously got me one!! All the gems on the cards were so easy to apply with this awesome new tool!! I hope you like the cards, I kept them very simple yet elegant! 

Have a great night everyone!

My Creative Time - TTC#9

Yay! Emma is back with her Throwback Thursday Challenge! She was off for two weeks and I am thrilled that it's back on!! Her TTCs' are something I always look forward to! So for this one we had to use the Paisley cartridge and the theme was 'SCHOOL'. Here is my design for this challenge, I must admit it was a 'challenge' as the paisley cart doesn't have much for school. I switched my design about three times and I am SOO happy with the way it finally turned out!! I hope you like it!

Robyn from My Pink Stamper has given me the honor of being one of her Pink Designers!! I have designed three projects featuring My Pink Stamper stamps! The first two are the most adorable cards and the third is a two page layout. Scrapbooking is my number one love, and I had so much fun incorporating MPS stamps into my adorable layout! 

A {HUGE} 'Thank you' to Robyn for choosing me to be a part of your team. I hope you all enjoy my projects!!
