Happy Birthday Lidia!

My friend Lidia's birthday slipped by at work.  She didn't say a word and even worked late that day!  Here is the card I made her.  I used the Simply Scrappin' kit Afternoon Daydream.

I love the colors in this kit and all of the paper and stickers that go with it.

One of my favorite flowers is the blossom punch.  You can probably tell it's my go to embellishment.  I also love to pair the little 1 1/4 scallop punch with it.

Tea cups- Harry Potter style!

Here is the paper mache tea cup finished project. The tea cups are combination of a two projects I have seen on Pinterest. One was the tea cup paper mache as noted below and the other was a Harry Potter mug.  I was going to put a glossy finish on the cups, but the paint started to smear.  Again if you are a Potter fan you will understand the term 'Always.' I also made two so that I could give my sister one.  She always gives/makes me stuff and I like to try and surprise her by giving back. 

Check out the previous post on how I made the cups here.

Devan's Birthday Banner

As promised here is Devan's birthday banner from his Power Ranger Birthday Party.

Check out that cute little 6-year-old samurai!  

Devan helped me cut out the power ranger mask.  I found a template online here.  It was a great day full of fun!

Happy Birthday Devan!!!

Today is my son Devan's party and it is power ranger themed.  It has been hard to decorate for sure.  We are having a house party and it is small at Devan's request.  A jump house, foam samurai swords, and a ninja battle is the plan today.

Here is the card I made for Devan.  It is a waterfall card.

 I found a great video at Dawn's stamping thoughts blog.  You can check it out here.  Stay tuned for the banner that Devan help me make!  He is so crafty my 6-year-old!

Up-Cycled Stampin Up Paper

I have seen this a dozen times and have to say this paper is a lifesaver! I ran out of wrapping paper and needed something quick. It was convenient that I had just gotten a Stampin' Up order, so I wrapped the gift up and stamped it with the same stamp set I had used for the card. Thank you Stampin' Up! By the way the mom of the child that this gift went too loved the wrapping.  Maybe I can recruit her for my club.  :)

Happy Birthday Devan

Happy Birthday Devan! If you know my nephew then you know he loves the Power Rangers! Especially the blue one (not sure what his actual name is). Anywhooo... I have crafted up a card and wrapped his gift al la stampin up packing paper.

Just because...

It was my nephew's birthday party this weekend and I gathered some items I have been collecting for my sister- just because : ).

The owl is from Joann's and in their fall collection.  I bought 3 of them for myself and picked up one for Andrea.  Andrea and I love owls!  The stickers were an impulse buy from Target.  Seriously, they make me smile.

I had to make my sissy a card.  She is also my best friend.  Stampin' Up! Owl Builder punch to the rescue.  You will notice that the background paper is not SU (gasp!)  I absolutely loved this paper while shopping with a friend at the new Hobby Lobby we just got in town.  There are a lot of SU colors in that paper.

Those little owls are my favorite!  Me and my sister : )
