Quick Little Birthday Balloon Cards....

Here's my version of some sweet little cards I made, after seeing this great video at JenniferMcGuireink.com.  Thanks Jennifer :):):)  

My balloon body's are part Nestabilities circles & part hand cut. The ends of the balloons are also hand cut, with some bakers twine tied to them.  Then I just added some hand-stamped, embossed tags. It took less than 20 mins to make all four cards. Quick and easy!

Christmas in July ~ Recycled Style!!!

Hello and Happy Monday!!  

How was your weekend? I see everyone has been very busy making fabulous things!!! 

Last week, for me, was all about reorganizing, sorting and, as hard as it is, purging through all my craft supplies. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up today, but it is 8 years of  stuff.  It's quite interesting to see how my taste has changed, since I began crafting back in 2006.  My DH was very helpful, he ran out and bought clear plastic bins, made labels for the bins, drawers, folders and moved the heavy stuff for me.  I'm looking forward to having this project completed, it feels so good to get things reorganized and to get rid of excess. 

Here are a couple of July Christmas cards.  I was inspired by seeing everyone else's fun July Christmas cards. They're made of all scraps and recycled Christmas cards.  You can't see it in the picture, but the poinsettias, are behind a clear, acetate window.  Recycle and reuse :):):) 

Hope you like them.

I've submitted them in the Craftin Desert Divas for our Christmas in JulyChallenge. 

Thank you for letting me know Lisa :):):)

Crepe Paper & Old Book Page Flowers...

So I ran across some great colors of crepe paper (party steamers) and an old dictionary at the thrift store.  I just could resist buying them to see what I could create.  Here's the 1st project :)

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Hugs, Lisa

Wedding Guest-Box Tags....

Hi!!!!

Thought I'd drop by & share some sweet little tags I created for a co-worker.  Her daughter is getting married next month and instead of a guestbook, she is going to have e a lovely little guest-box.  So they requested some customized tags to use on their adorable little box.  Her wedding is vintage & very soft colors, so here's what I made them.  Hope you like.  BTW... They were a success, they loved them :)

The papers are metallic & so beautiful in person... I tried but it's hard to capture how pretty they are.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Hugs,

Acustic Guitar Card... "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks."

Here's a cheerful little 5x5 card I made.  I love guitars, have two of my own and can never resist any music oriented stamps.  This cute little guitar image is by Inkadinkado, I filled it in with Copic's.  The inside is finished off with a 2005 Stampin' Up verse.  The shapes layered under the guitar were cut from Nestabilities dies. The fibers are a random, by the yard, clearance item from Joann's, they were my color inspiration.  Card-base is Bazzill card stock.

Tulips, Scaps and a Serger...

The other night, while playing around on my serger, I came up with this little card.  

I'd  stamped and glazed the tulips a while back for future use.  So, a few scraps, some stamped tulips, a little bit of serging and wala... An easy peasy card.

Hugs!
