remember this.

Hey all. Just stopping by with another card post. This one, once again, uses K&Company die cuts. That little package of them that I purchased at Michael's has given me so many cards! I love that I can get such variety out of them.

Did you know that 'souvenir' means 'to remember' in French? I was thinking about that as I was writing this blog post. I want to remember every little detail about my baby. He's already 3 and a half weeks old! Already starting to look like an infant and not a newborn. I want to remember these times. And cherish them. I think I'll make a baby book as a souvenir of this time! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

scenic route.

This weekend my grandmother is visiting all the way from Michigan. It's her first time here on the Gulf Coast so we plan on cruising the coast and checking out the sights. I figured I'd share this card because it fits perfectly with our plans!

All the die cuts are from K&Company. It came together really quickly and is a super simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!

i've missed you, blog.

WOW! Has it been forever since I've posted or what?! Way too long. But I recently made 9 cards in two days so I have plenty of fun stuff to share.

Not sure how much time I'll have in the near future to create new things since we just brought our beautiful son home from the hospital!

This our my big chunk of love, Jack:

Here's the latest card. It was a submission reject from CARDS magazine but I am really in love with how it turned out. I think I may just have to get it into the mail pretty soon.

The paper is October Afternoon and the die cuts are K&Company. Not to brag or anything :) but I made the scrunched seam binding myself and like how it looks with this card.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hope everyone has a great week

congrats, graduates!

Hello again! It's that time of year again... graduation season! I just love all the excitement and promise of it.

Here are a couple cards that I made for some girls at work who just recently took that giant step!

Very clean, simple and cute. Hopefully they like them. I for sure know the gift card inside will be liked! :) I wanted to use school colors for each of them but not make it look cheap and tacky. This is subtle school spirit!

I am, of course, still madly in love with Fillable Frames #3. And of course Mega Mixed Messages for always having the perfect sentiment!

Most of all though, I can not wait to celebrate my little brother Robbie's graduation with him. The hubby and I are heading up to Michigan in just a couple weeks to spend time with our families and congratulate Robbie in person! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Have a great start to your week--

Thanks so much for stopping by!

mother's garden.

Hey, blog people! Today's card is a Mother's day card that I created for my mother-in-law. She is an avid gardener and an amazing landscape designer and this simple card is just perfect for her (if I do say so myself!)

The colors remind me of pretty little flowers and I love the vines and glitter for flower centers. Hoping she likes it just as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!
