Lazy poster


Hi folks! I know I know I am a lazy poster. I haven't crafted that much but I promise I will have lots to share after this weekend. I am going scrapbooking with the gals and I will have tons of cards and scrapbook pages to share.

Today I wanted to share a b day card with you all. It was my husband grandfathers 87th birthday this week and we went to lunch on sunday with him and I gave him this card. I thought it turned out really cute. His wife loves homemade things and I noticed this weekend that each card I make for them she keeps and adds them to a collage she has started in a frame on the wall. I thought it was very special that she does that so I wanted to share her next addition. Have a great rest of the week!

Hi blog readers.We have a lot of january birthdays among our family and friends. This is a card and gift card holder I made for my mother in laws b day last week. the gift card holder is great. Its the size of an altoid box and a card fits perfectly and the decoration is a band so that it can be slid off and kept in tact. I also love this color cmbo. Its Stampin ups kiwi kiss, baja breeze and the printed paper is from k and company. Hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year everyone! It has been ages since I have posted. Sorry about that but I am now back to it so I will post more often now.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. I am sure like me you are making your resolutions or goals for the new year. I have many so I thought it would be a good idea to post them on my blog and hold myself a little more accountible.

1. Be healthier
I always say I want to loose weight but I just get frustrated with a number so by saying healthier this will mean going to the gym regularly, eating better and just overall think about what I am doing to my body and what I put in it.
2. Drink less wine
Um actually no I am taking this out (disregard)
3. watch less tv and read more
I watch way too much reality tv and I think if I watch less I can read more and gain some knowledge instead of trash.
4. CRAFT MORE
I have so many projects I want to get done and I am so behind on my scrapbook so this is a must.
5. Be a better example for my children
I thinking if I work on all of the above things my children will see what I am doing and maybe follow along.

I would love to hear about some of your ideas for the new year so if you would like to share leave a comment here.
Have a Blessed New Year!!!!!

Kristinas color challenge #33


Happy Thursday! This weeks color challenge was definately a "challenge" but I have several birthdays coming up and I wanted to make some different cards so this was perfect timing. The colors we were given this week to work with were chocolate chip, taken with teal, whisper white, certainly celery, and pumpkin pie. I thought the end result turned out well and now I have a great birthday card to give.
