My First Double Pocket Card

This was my first attempt at a double pocket card & I love it! I will probably make more of these in the future even though they take alot of paper & patience. I made this one for my husband in honor of our 7 year anniversary. Most of the time I stick with simple cards that are super easy & not too flashy but I wanted this to be special so I spent some time on it & got it just the way I thought it should be.

PreTeen Birthday Present

What do you give a PreTeenage Boy for a Birthday Present? I didn't know since my boys aren't there yet (Thank God!) so Jeff suggested a painting & after some looking on the computer I came up with this. Cody loved it & was very excited about hanging it up in his room.

Baby's First Birthday Present

I made these for a very good friend's little boy for his first birthday. I was extremely pleased with how they turned out & so was she.

Sock monkeys are my newest thing & don't take long to make with a sewing machine...that's right I've finally got the knack of sewing down! For this particular monkey since I was gifting it to a child I hand embroidered the eyes since buttons would pose a choking hazard.

Finally a New Post

I have been extremely busy this summer & while I am still crafting away & photographing everything before I gift it away I just haven't had the chance to sit here & upload them because if you are a blogger you know how long that can take :)

Fathers Day - June 2009
I waited until the very last minute to do cards...something I find myself doing alot these days so these cards are very simple.
This one is was for my dad & it didn't come out quite how I wanted to but it was late & I was tired so I went with it. In the pocket I folded a tiny piece of tissue paper to look like a hankie. I thought it was rather cute.



My husbands was super simple. I have a ton of scrapbook cut outs & chipboard letters so I threw some together & it came out great. Even the card was premade so all I had to do was glue the letters & cutouts on it & it was done.

60th Birthday Invites for a Male

I did these invitations for my father in laws 60th birthday party/cookout. I was really excited at how well they turned out. I used Real Red as the main color, found this really neat scrapbook paper that looks like a map for an accent & ordered a stamp of the 50's style car online. I colored the car with an SU marker then used crystal accents on the red part only to make it look like it was freshly painted. Then I used silver brads as hub cabs. They were really easy & time consuming but well worth the effort!

Hannah Hannah Bo Nana Me Mi Mo Mana...

Happy 2nd Birthday to the sweet Hannah! I painted this name sign on a 24x36 canvas & made the cute card for her as a gift & she & her mother loved it! I did too!
