Band-aid card

A cute get well soon card! This is a 3x3 little card, with a fun band aid and cute little puffy, sparkly heart. I punched the heart, and covered it in crystal effects, then coated it in glitter, and then another layer of crystal effects, making it raised and puffy. So adorable, I will be making this one again!!

Beachy Cards

I am posting this today, but I made these cards two weeks ago. I didn't want to spoil the surprise. Some of my siblings are coming to visit me (arrived yesterday), and I made them some welcome baskets to welcome them to the beach. Of course, each needs a card with their name on it! I really love this look, and I think I will be using this 'template' for many cards in years to come!

Paper: Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, Pink Passion, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, Pink Passion, Pumpkin Pie, black marker
Stamp Sets: Holiday Blitz, Mini Backgrounds (retired), alphabet set (not SU)
Embellishments: grosgrain ribbon in Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun, Pink Passion, Pumpkin Pie

Four great colors for 4 great kids!

Closer up, they are all the same...excuse the shadow on this one!

Paper Bag Scrapbook

We had so much fun! One person made an actual scrapbook for fathers day, and everyone else made a baby book. Some others had some cute ideas for the inside, making "split pages" (like I did on the black and white), for the dark & light browns, greens and blues. I made this at the workshop for myself...actually as a gift for our neighbors little girl, born that same day!

Then the next day (today actually), I got this one done, for my new little nephew. Notice my catering to Canadian spelling! Looks perfect! I tried to give this one a little more of a boy feel, so I used paper tabs for the pull outs instead of ribbon. And cookie monster was the only thing I could think of to make for the front that was boy-ish. His eyes are made with buttons, to give them a 3D effect, the white part only, then I put black paper over that for the centers.
