Thoughts and Prayers

An extremely cute, yet serene card. I am very happy with its simplicity, yet there are lots of interesting elements with the dimensionals, shimmer paint, roughed edges...and I've never tried this combo before, but will definitely use it again! Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi & Chocolate Chip
The inside

Butterflies

I think it would be safe to say that Certainly Celery is my favorite color! I love it so much! This is a card I cased from the Paper Crafters Library. Isn't it gorgeous?
A close up of those little butterflies. Sooooo cute. It's one of my favorite cards, and would look so great in so many color combos wouldn't it?

Long Side, Short Side - Video

Check out this little explanation to help you with the "long side, short side"...it will help you save paper with fewer mistakes, I hope!

Sorry for trying to do everything with only one hand, I had to hold the camera!

Gift Card Tin

It's been awhile since I've had some crafting time! I'm itching to get back at it! This past week I was "forced" to make a little gift card holder. Can't give a gift card in the plan ol' paper holder they give you in the store...well you can but it's just so boring by comparison!
The front. For little baby Ronin

"It's a boy!" hidden back there.
I was very happy with the result, seeing as I pulled it out of my brain in less than 30 mins!

Embossed Tin

To fill a cute little frame I already had...
"B" is for our last name!
I had a sheet of tin from Michaels, and I didn't really know what to do with it. Brilliance! It embosses in the Big Shot! Cute, right?
I really love it, and so does my husband. Perhaps the manly element of tin makes it appealing, even with flowers:-) A very cute and display worthy decoration. Created in waaaaay less than 30 minutes too!

While I had my crafting stuff out, time to make a slider album for my little niece Vienna! It turned out really cute!
