Baby Shower

As mentioned a few posts ago, I made a few baby shower invitation samples, for someone to possibly order- finally finished them up and here they are!

Another weekend, another cupcake challenge! After seeing this adorable chef on Taylored Expressions last week- I couldn't help to get one for myself and to use him for this week's card. I am having so much fun with all these challenges, I can't wait for the next one!

Here's the sketch, and here is my card:

Stamps: Cupcake Chef (Inky Antics), Hello sentiment (Heidi Grace)

Thanks for stopping by!

No Challenges Here!

So I thought I would take the opportunity to post a card I've done that is not-challenge/contest related- just for fun!

This card I made for a friend of mine, to give to his mom for her birthday. She likes giraffes, so hopefully she will like this card too!

Stamps: ClearDesign Playful Animals (Hero Arts), Bloom Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug-Provocraft)

I've also made some baby shower invite samples.. but have some tweaks to make them a little better and easier if I have to mass produce!

Until the next post....

Tumbling Monkeys

Here was my entry to last week's Wrap-around Challenge on Hero Arts. It took me longer than usual to come up with the idea for this card.. but I'm happy with how it turned out!




Stamps: ClearDesign Playful Animals & ClearDesign Birthday Messages (Hero Arts)

Time for another cupcake challenge! I bought these adorable penguin stamps awhile ago, but haven't gotten around to using them until now...

Taylor's sketch, and my card- I went a little different and turned the sketch sideways:

Stamps: Penguin Dude, Penguin Chick (imaginisce); Clear Design Messages (Hero Arts)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ahh.. to be organized!

For awhile now, I've been thinking of ways to better organize some of my things- and just recently did a little re-org to my clear stamps. Before I kept them in their original plastic packaging and in a basket (intended for CDs) and flipped thru them until I found the one I wanted. Well now..


I found these clear plastic DVD cases at my local office supply store. I kept both the clear printed acetate and the card that came with the packaging, slipped it in the front and the back to keep it all together. Printed out the name & company of each stamp set onto clear mailing labels and stuck those on the spines of the cases. I bought the same kind of cases in CD size for the smaller sets I own- I haven't gotten to these yet...

I am loving this "system"- I feel more productive being organized (though it doesn't always show when I'm crafting :)) much easier when I can actually find what I need!

Now.. what's next in line to re-organize?
