For Moma's Birthday

I pulled out the PTI stamps to make my mom a birthday card. I wanted to make a one of a kind card to send to her. I normally give her a lot of my extra cards to send herself. So I didn't want to send her a card she already had! I used some of my beloved Basic Grey paper and I pulled the colors from that. I really hope she likes it!

I'm also excited because I have several new stamps/toys coming my way! Check back for some new posts when they get here!

Mojo45 Challenge

I made this one for the Mojo Challenge on Poetric Artistry. I love her challenges and this week she is giving away a stamp set! I love the Verve stamps so I had to enter.

I used kraft for the base. I also used pretty in pink, chocolate chip paper, and Basic Grey DP. Since I didn't have the punch to make the scalloped edge at the bottom I cut out choc chip using the lace border die I bought when I first got my CB. I also added a little bling next to "mwah." I don't think the picture does this one justice!

Christmas Present I'm Making for Mom

Mom, if you are reading this look away!!!! lol

I made the cutest little card tin for my mom for Christmas. I was looking around at the local scrapbook store this weekend and ran across the cutest paper. My mom collects elephants and I have been looking for something like this to make her a tin for cards. Everything I used on the tin is BasicGrey. The elephant paper is Oh Baby! Girl Macy and the purple paper on top is LilyKate Rain. I was tickled to find the fibers that perfectly match the paper (Oh Baby! Girl Coordination Fibers). The fibers were wound on a card and there were several different ones. I used the wider pink to trim around the top lip of the lid. Then I tied the rest of them on the handle. I wish I had bought more so I could cover the entire handle with them. But the fibers were a little high for me to buy several. I just couldn't resist the combination of the paper and fibers for this cute little tin!

I plan to use the rest of the paper to make her some monogram cards. She is always sending little notes to everyone so I thought this would be perfect. I'll post a picture of the cards once I get them made.
