Just a Note

I love how this card turned out! I think Riley is my fav little guy to use on my cards, he's just the cutest! I showed one of the Rileys to my Sammy a while back and told him that it reminded me of him, so now every time I make a card with Riley on it, Sammy says "look it's me!" When he saw this one, he said "look, it's me naked drinking coffee!" LOL! That kid's such a goof ball! And just for the record, naked coffee drinking, no matter how cute you are, is frowned upon in our house! ;0)

Thanks Sew Very Much!

This little card is going to a couple of friends of ours who sent over two custom made princess dresses for Beanie this past Christmas. They are the cutest little dresses and Bean just fell in love with them as soon as she saw them. I'll see if I can catch her later and take a picture or two :0)

Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge week 8

For this week's challenge we were supposed to make a square card. I decided this image would be perfect for a gift card holder. I wish I looked that cute when I went Christmas shopping, lol!

So Sweet card

One of Nate's best friend's and his wife are expecting their first baby girl any day now and I wanted to send them a little card to send them our love. I know the mommy-to-be is a big fan of lavender, so I wanted to make sure I used it as one of my main colors on the card. The sketch is from Taylored Expressions (TECC42)


These little chichibouli fairies are just so stinkin cute!

I'm heading out for scrap night with the girls at Nona's tonight! YAY!

Thank you card

Here's another Bella card, lol! This one is for a wonderful friend of the family who totally spoils our family any chance she gets! She's the sweetest woman ever and she loves my kiddos like they were her own grandchildren, especially since she doesn't have any of her own. She actually bought me my new markers (that I'm LOVING by the way! )

Anyhoo, she's a major cat lover too so I thought this card would be just purr-fect! (Wow, corny much Jenn?)

Double trouble

Saturday, I attended the baby shower of a friend from our church who's expecting twin girls in about 8 weeks! I'm so excited but nervous for her at the same time, lol! Her and her husband have 2 other children, both boys, ages 7 years and 21 months. She's an excellent mother and I know she'll continue to be with their newest little blessings too!
