The Perfect Pear Card + Freebie

Hello! Long time no see! Haha. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I've been out of town. My husband is attending the Kentucky State Trooper Academy in Frankfort. He is set for graduation Sept 17th (yes, just one week after the baby's due date). He is there all week and usually drives 4 hours home each weekend to see us for less than 48 hours, so this weekend, while I'm still able to travel, my son and I went up to see him. We had a wonderful time.

Anyways....when I got home from my trip, I had a package waiting for me! My new Copics! I got 80 of them on Ebay for about $2 each! Wowza! That's way better than paying $6.95 each at HL. So needless to say, ever since I opened up the package, I've done nothing but play and color. I did happen to make a card though!

This cute pear image comes from The Little Paper Shop. It was a freebie a long time ago, but I can't find the acutal link now, so maybe it was for a limited time. Anyways, I plan to go to an engagement party tonight and give this to the lovely couple.
I used this week's sketch from Friday Sketchers.

Travis Turns 3 LO (almost a year late)

Hello again, today I got another page done! Yippee!! I'm trying to knock as many of these out of the way as I can before baby #2 gets here. I'm sure I'll have my hands full with two boys in the house. His arrival date is set for Sept 10th in case any of you were wondering. Hopefully he'll greet us sooner. He's a big boy already. My sweet little boy below is my first son. He'll be 4 on his birthday this October, so I figured I should probably hurry up and scrap these photos (next I need to do the bday party pics). I cut both of the flourishes with my cricut. The brown one is one that I created for a design found on an old sketch of Rowena's. You can download it at this old post. The doodle flourish (the green one) was a freebie from someplace, but I can't remember at the moment. *sorry*

The cute little word art is a digital stamp from Create with TLC.

I used this sketch from Scrap & Stamp.

Let them eat Cake! Card + Freebie

Hello everyone! It's Thursday again! That means another Lindsay project! I have been dying to get my hands on this set! I just haven't had the time. So I finally made it a priority this week. I love how you can layer all the pieces and make your own digi! I used the cake stand and cupcake pngs to layer and make a cute little cupcake display. These digis come from the Sweet Treats 2 Set.  The cute little sentiment is a freebie from Create with TLC. The bracket is an svg freebie from Images by Heather M.


I used this week's sketch from Digital Tuesday. I also added a bit of clear glaze to the reflective spots on the cake stand glass.

This card qualifies for the following challenges: Card Style Fun and Cute Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and the Ice-cream and cakes at CRAFT Challenges. 

Now off you go! Check out the rest of the DT's work and grab your freebie over at Lindsay's place!

And now for your Thursday freebie! A very chic chick for your cards and scrapbook pages!

Ho Ho Ho! Christmas LO in July!

I got another page done today! I was inspired yet again by one of Rowena's fab sketches! The bubble border was a freebie from Images by Heather M. I was able to use up some patterened paper scraps on this page, so that always makes me happy.  The title is made of some stickers that I got on clearance a while back. I need to use up my stash of stickers. I'm not so much into them anymore. I prefer the look of die cuts better.

So if you haven't participated in any of Rowena's challenges yet, hop on over now, the next one started today! Go to Creative Genealogy Scrapbooking!


BTW, if any of you are having troubles downloading any of my files, leave me a comment with which file you're wanting and your email address so I can email it directly to you. Sometimes I get comments from people and I have no way of replying to them. Thank you!

Baby Chick SVG Freebie

T-Ball Time!

Hellooooo! I'm back with another scrapbook page. I have really enjoyed my creative freedom lately. The past couple of months I've been so tied down with customer orders and such that I haven't had time to do any scrapping of my own. So finally, i have time. This page was created using a baseball svg freebie from Lindsay's blog. and a grass freebie, that I have no idea where I got it. Sorry folks.


I used this sketch from Sketch Inspiration.

I also created my own little bottlecap to go on the page! Isn't it cute?!

A Couple of Alligator Cards

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a couple of cards with you that I made this morning. They are for a customer of mine whose wife loves alligators. He requested a birthday and an anniversary card. So this is what I came up with. The first card I made using a sketch from Friday sketchers. The cute little Happy Birthday is a freebie digi sentiment from Create with TLC. The alligator svg is a freebie from a prior post on my blog.



This card was made using a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
