Baby Cards

Hi all!! Sorry for the break, but I have been having technical difficulties. :-) Even now I'm posting from my phone, and I probably will be for a while, so if you all can bear with me while I muddle through this I would greatly appreciate it. Yesterday and today I finally got back to my cards, and had a marathon card making session. It felt so nice. I seriously sat down with 6 hours of Star Trek and went nuts. Dishes weren't touched, and neither was the laundry, dusting, filing or any other chore I had planned, but boy am I happy. And I had time to paint my nails with my daughter! It'll be a while before photos and everything are ready though, so today I thought I would give you all a sneak peak at what will soon be listed on etsy. These two were inspired by the RIDICULOUS amount of friends who announced pregnancies these last two months. I think I'm up to 6 pregos, two of whom are having twins. Its going to be baby shower paradise. Always good times. :-)

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

I do believe in Fairies, I do I do!

I recently discovered the Treasury section of etsy, where one can create collections of items on etsy, and have completely fallen in love with it. So I decided to try to make one a day. I realized as I planned out my future treasuries though, that my tastes are very similar, and I wanted more variety in the kind of treasuries I make. This is where my amazing mom stepped in, and offered to help out. So we have started each creating treasuries to share from my shop. Today's is one of hers, and I really love it. :) Check it out!! Do you believe in Fairies? I really love this one, expecially the book whose spine takes the shape of a face of a forest creature. So cool. Thanks mom!! Have a great day, and keep crafting!!

Flowers and Buttons

I am getting back to my challenges!! Very excited, though I know I may have a few gaps here coming up. My husband and I are both on the job search, plus getting ready for a family vacation, so life is busy!!
The challenge for today is Number 119 - Feeling Punchy. The challenge was to use a die cute and decorate it using jewels, buttons etc. I chose this cute flower I made on my Cricut.
Then I set about finding the right button for the center.
I finally decided on this yellow button.
I put it with some paper I found by sei from a series called ally's wonderland called morning glory. I finished it off with a stamp by stampendous and heres what I got!
Cat Corner

A typical morning at our house!

My First Treasury!!

Today I made my first treasury on etsy!! Turns out it's super fun to do, and I plan on doing many of these in the near future. I realized after the my first one really should have been cats, but I had Dr. Who on the brain, so that's what came out. :) Check out the treasury here!

Baby Elephants

Still fixing up the craft area, it's getting close to finished, but since we're working on the rest of the house too, it's slow moving. School is coming to an end, and summer is quickly approaching, which for me means lots of free time, and lots of crafts with the little one. I can't wait to start posting those too!! Today's 365 challenge was to make a card that is asymmetrical. Inspired by a ADORABLE baby I saw at Virginia's gymnastics practice. With babies on the brain, I came up with this. The paper is by Renae's House, the sticker by DCWV and the blank card it's all on is by Recollections. I had a blast, as always, these challenges are so much fun. I haven't had many kitty pictures lately. We got a cat door for the balcony, and they have been spending most of their time laying in the sun watching the birds. hopefully I'll have more pictures soon! Have a great day, and keep crafting!
