Birthday Card

Happy 49th Birthday Card

I don't make cards that often, because I get tied up doing a lot of other things. I do make it a point to stay in contact with my family. I sent this card to my mom last year. She loved it. She called me so "happy." Literally awaken me out of my sleep I thought something was wrong. We don't live in the same city. We are actually about 4 hours away from each other. That reminds me I am so ready to move back close to home.

This is a picture of the card and the inside. It was simple but thoughtful. I only wish I had a Silhouette, Cameo, Cuttlebug, and/ CRICUT. I would be crafting everyday for EVERY occasion. I guess it's a good thing that I don't have one, yet.

Apron

So I made an apron from a website called Maureen Cracknell Homemade. I loved the way the apron looked. I had 3 fat quarters and some extra fabric around the house, so I just tried it to see how it would come out. Actually I have a lot of fat quarters, but none of them match. You can find the tutorial on her blog. There are some other projects on her blog that I can't wait to try. Here is the apron that I made.





I love it. I love aprons. As you can tell from my pinterest page, I have so many projects that I want to make.

Scrapbook Card Box

So I love tutorials and pdfs. I came across a stationary card box on a website called Addicted to Stamping. This is a great tutorial. I don't have sticky strip adhesive. I used double sided tape. I hope mine doesn't fall apart. :) I know I will be using the box and making some for other people as gifts. I just wanted to try the tutorial. This is what mine looks like...Also, I have not made the cards yet, because as a mother "duties called." But as soon as I get the chance I will be making cards and posting the outcome. I am a fan of bright colors. (orange, pink, yellow, and red.)
