It's a Family Thing (Sometimes)

Look at that cute lady!  Here is my mom with her snazzy new hair-do.  I love her!

Here we are- a family that crafts. Well, sometimes.  When we get together we are usually going to tea and shopping.  We try to fit in crafting...which is why we are at stamp camp together.

Here are the cards we made at a glance.  I really had a great time!  It was a wonderful day to craft and the customers were really fun.  It was really the great group of women that I work with that made the day.  I am so proud of them and their hard work.  Stay tuned for the wonderful displays.

Awwww....so cute!

Here is a card that my son Devan made his little friend Ava as a thank you for the valentine that she made him.  They are going to be pen pals even though they see each other every day at school. Why? Because both of them like to craft and make cards.  I love it!

The inside of the card reads, "This card is for you. Love, Devan"  He just wrote that with no help from me (and had good penmanship I think) and did some stamping.  I think he did a great job!  I am so proud!  He gave a thank you card because of this cute card from Ava:

Devan was really excited and loved the card.  Devan has been begging me to craft so time to make another card.  I'll keep you posted on my little crafter.

Baby Shower for Sophiny

My co-worker Sophiny is having her 4th baby boy.  Amazing!!!  She had a sort-of shower at work and here is the card I made her.

That little pinwheel makes me feel like I am all thumbs, but I love the look of it.  What do you think?

Mother's Day Card 2

This is the second card I have created to sell for Mother's Day.  I typically sell my cards at work.  I work at a junior high with a lot of male teachers who love to find a quick card for a cheap price.  Definitely works to my benefit.  I am actually going to make a couple cards with a Spanish stamp set.  A few of my co-workers had requested this last year and I just didn't have the time to buy the stamp at that time.  Hopefully they sell.

I even decorated the inside.  Mom's have to know how much we really appreciate all they do.  Being a mom myself now- I totally get it.  It can be a very thankless job, but the most rewarding.

Mother's Day Card 1

Usually I make a lot of cards to sell at Valentine's, but my crafting mojo just wasn't there.  So I am hoping to make a little extra money selling Mother's Day cards.  Of course I thought of the Stippled Blossom stamp set.  Just love that stamp set.

Hello Kitty

My little Olivia was invited to her first friend birthday party last weekend.  She was very excited to go and celebrate her friend Olivia's birthday.  Yes, that isn't a typo- her good friend at school is another Olivia.  I think it is ironic and very befitting of my Olivia's personality to befriend the other Olivia in her class.  Here is the card I made.

This is a cased card I found on Pinterest.  My Olivia just loves Hello Kitty and I just naturally thought that the other Olivia probably appreciates Hello Kitty too.  :)  I really like how the card turned out. Super easy to make too.  
Here is a little picture I took of my Olivia at the birthday party.  Of course she is wearing a Hello Kitty shirt.
