* LADYBUGS * for Baby "M"

It's not that I've been so lazy, it's that I am falling behind!!

Fell in love with the ladybug fabric and 1-2-3 pattern, then as luck would have it, found the most perfect buttons ever!! Matching kerchief not pictured.

Happy Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Baby M!!!

Starting off the new year with a card making frenzy, but I can't post them all until their recipients receive their card!! An exception is this one, made for Monroe's first birthday...I don't think she uses the Internet, yet!! I hadn't planned on an envelope, for I'll be hand delivering the card, party hats, balloons, cupcakes & gifts, but wanted something to protect the card from smudges, at least!! Used the scrap from the card and made a very basic pocket secured with a brad and embellished with the square motif, then topped off with her name in stickers. I think it turned out great!!
Basic card idea hi-jacked from scrapbooketc.com

Some Christmasy Cards

Makin' a list, checkin' it twice...have you've been naughty or nice?!!

Happy Birthday 2U Mom!!

Gifts boxes full of hugs, kisses & love for my Mom on her birthday. She says it's the most 'beautimous' card she's even received...don't all Moms say that every year?!!

Happy Halloween-y Cards

I knew we wouldn't be home to pass out candy, but I felt compelled to do something Halloween-y, even though it's my least favorite "holiday". So I whipped up a couple of custom cards for my birds; the third card, which I forgot to photograph, was mailed earlier in the week - it was adorned with a black cat & bats!

Wedding Poetry

I used a line from Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Whoever lives true life, will live true love. - for the front of the card because she has a great track record for saying the right thing.

The red envelope holds 4 customized music CDs I compiled to entertain my sister, who in turn will no doubt entertain her new husband!

I hope they like the handmade portions of their wedding gift, despite the flaws...my creations, not Elizabeth's sentiment!!

Happy 24th Birthday, Baby!!

Card & envelope created with love, and a new embossing tool, for my youngest child in honor of her special day.
