Birthday Party Invitations

Well it's that time of year again!! The time to celebrate my baby girls birthday! She is turning 9 years old this year. I cannot believe how time fly's. So last year I was just starting off at making cards but I still wanted to handmade her invitations so I did. This year I also wanted to do the same. I showed them to her yesterday and she was so happy! She said that it was just what she wanted her invitations to look like! That made me SO happy! :-) 

So this is her Birthday Invitation

She loves the color pink, red, and loves cakes! So I managed to put everything she likes on it. Her invitation also spells like cherry! I tried a new embossing powder and I used it for the "YOU'RE INVITED" Stamp so it could smell like candy! 

The things we do for our kids! If I had to do it again I sure would because the look on her face when she saw her invitation was the best feeling in the world!!

Let me know what you all think??

Beautiful Journals..

Happy Sunday to all of you!

I finally finished decorating that Journal that I was talking to you all about! I am very happy how it turned out! My daughter was with me when I was finishing it up and she couldn't believe that I have already decorated 3 books. She asked if I could decorate one for her. I have already been thinking of doing one for her but never told her. I can't wait to get started and see if I could make the perfect Journal for my baby girl. 

So my baby girl is going to be turning 9 very soon and I promised her that I was going to be making her

Birthday Invitations. I made her Birthday invitations last year and I am hoping that this years turns out way better. I can't believe my oldest will be 9 soon.... Time sure does fly when your a mother. 

 So here is the Journal. I love the paper that I decided to use. I also love the ribbon... So girly, don't you think?

I also had decorated a Day Planner that I had picked up for really cheap but never posted pictures to show all of you how it turned out. SO HERE YOU GO!!

Well that's it for today but I am sure I will be working on something tomorrow and will post for all to see!!

Have a great DAY!! If not then make it ONE!!

Round Cork Board

I was shopping the other day and I found these round cork boards and thought it would be fun to see what I could come up with! So I bought a few of them and now I am in love with what I have made. 

Let me know what you think?

Getting my creative motivation back!!

Hey everyone!! I am so sorry that I have not posted anything for ever! It has been a very busy year for me. I decided to go back to school and I also joined this great organization that does a lot of volunteering for our military community. I found myself not having any time for my crafts and that made me very sad. I never wanted to loose my creativity or the motivation to create. But unfortunately that is exactly what happened. So as soon New Years came, I decided to make a new years resolution to at least make a card or work on a craft everyday. Even if it's for 15min of my day, just as long as I dedicate some time to my crafts. 

I am happy to report that I have been doing what I had promised myself to do! Yesterday I went my new friends house;  from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons; and worked on a card. It felt so good to get back into making my cards again. My friend Lisa Norris is a terrific card maker and I hope to get as good as she is one day! Today I decided to work on making a plain looking journal book into something beautiful! These are a few things that I am doing in order to get my MOTIVATION back. It's working! I am so happy! 

So this would be my first card of 2012

 I found this beautiful paper at Micheal's when I went to California and I just fell in love with it.  

I just love the way the ribbon sparkles...

My current project is a Journal and when I am done I will be posting pictures of it so please come back and check out my blog..
