Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there!  We have the hardest, yet most rewarding job on the planet.  I love my son more than life itself and I'd like to think that my mom feels the same about me.  She deserves so much more than I can ever give her.  Hopefully she'll like the card I made her to go along with a special gift I picked out, too.

My Sweet Baby Boy

I love Clear Scraps acrylic albums!  They are so versatile and fun to work with.  I thought the Mother Goose paper would look great with the acrylic so I made a cute little album with a few of my son's pictures.

Dream

I've been working on a few mixed media projects lately.  It's nice to get a little messy with paints and gloss gel medium once in a while!

Pop-up Box Card

My scrappy friend, Crystal, hosted a crop at her house last weekend and as usual she out-did herself with the make-n-take!  She taught us how to make super-fun and amazing pop-up box cards.  We put together a really cute birthday card complete with "floating" balloons.  I am going to give it to my mother-in-law for her birthday later this week.  I know she is going to love it.  :)  

Earlier this week, Crystal asked me to put together a thank you card for a co-worker.  I think it turned out fantastic!  I can't wait to give it to someone that deserves a great big thank you!

 

 

 

Fun In The Sun

My family took a trip to Navarre Beach, Florida back in 2009 and it is one of my favorite vacations ever.  I long for the day when I can return and lay on that white sand beach and float in that beautiful blue water.  Until then, at least I have a million photos to drool over. 

Sparkly Sunday

Today I am showing off a new technique I learned at my LSS on National Scrapbooking Day.  I used double sided adhesive, peel-off stickers, and silk microfine glitter all by Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Once assembled, I "painted" my designs with Tim Holtz Distress Markers and American Crafts Stamp Markers.  I am totally in love!

Happy Easter

I hope everyone has a nice Easter Sunday.  Here is a card I made for my mom.
