Another Day - Another Look For My Blog

If you've been visiting my site in the last week or 2 you might have noticed my blog has looked different on several occasions.  I have had so much trouble deciding on a look for my blog lately but I think I have finally found it thanks to my friends Jessica and Tracy.  Jessica found the cutest backgrounds here and then when Tracy updated her blog it reminded me that I just loved Jessica's blog look too.  I think this one is going to stay around for a while.  I'm finally happy with it.

Card Submitted for Jen Young's Challenge

My friend Jen Young is hosting a sketch challenge each week on her blog.  This is the first week of the challenge and it is for a card.  Here is the card I submitted, I hope you like it:

Father's Day Card for my Father-In-Law

Here is my final Father's Day card.  I made this one for my father-in-law.  I am very lucky to have not only wonderful parents but also wonderful in-laws!  I hope he likes his card!! 

Father's Day Card for My Daddy

My dad loves to play golf so when I saw this image in my Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman pack I knew it was going on a card for him.  I think it speaks volumes when you use your FAVORITE paper for others!!  LOL!

Father's Day Card for My Husband

So last weekend I was at the monthly day-long swarm/crop I host and actually finished 4 cards and a circle pop-up album while I was there.  Here is the card I made for my wonderful husband for Father's Day.  The paper is from Graphic 45 which is my new all time favorite paper!!

The Front

The Inside - Sentiment is not in here yet

The Back - Added some stamp looking images from another page in the pack

Mother's Day Card

Ok, I know, I know this is late, but I have an excuse.  This card is for my mother-in-law who was gone with her husband most of May and into June traveling in Europe.  I did not want to overfill their mailbox you know!!  Ok poor excuse.  But anyway the card is done and I just love it.  I hope you to do!!

Happy Anniversary Above Rubies Studio!

My friend Megan is celebrating her first anniversary of her Above Rubies Studio blog but the twist is that YOU can win the prizes!!  She is giving away prizes for 10 days so head on over to Above Rubies Studio and post on her blog for your chance to win!!

Graduation Banner - Take 2

So I have these wonderful friends on the Cricut.com message board and in my Skype group who are some of the most fantastic crafters I've ever met.  So today I was looking at the banner I posted earlier and thought "hmmm what would they do to this banner?"  So I said "Self,  Jen would say add bling" so I added bling, and  then I thought butterflies cause she uses a lot of butterflies.  Then I said "Self, Jessica would say add doodle dots and doodle stitching", so I added some of that.  Then I said "Self, Kimi would say you aren't done chick, add more".  So I added more, more embellishments, more pearls and then even more embellishments. Finally, I think I can say I'm pretty happy with this banner because it is a lot more like my DD, a bit of randomness in a whole lot of beauty .  I hope you like it in "Take 2".

Graduation Banner

I made a Graduation Banner for my daughter who is graduating from high school on Saturday.  We are holding a party for her that evening and I'll hang up the banner for the party.  I will add a ribbon or thick twine to the ends to hang it up.  I might also add a graduation cap to the blank tag in-between the words.

The paper is K&Co. Blue Awning.  The letters are Chip Chatter (Tall) from Pressed Petals that I glittered.  The ribbon and buttons are just random pieces from my stash.  I hope you like it!

Added: June 19th - I finally found the link to the blog that had a tutorial for the banner.  Atomic Butterfly makes some BEAUTIFUL banners and I wanted to make sure that I give credit to her for her work.
