These are the "thank you" cards I made for N's birthday.
Supplies: Stamps from Stampendous, The Paper Company, Fancy Pants Designs; Memento Tuxedo Black, Brilliance and Stampin'Up ink pads; Copic Markers, Blender Pen, Orange Marker.
It's been almost 5 months...but here are the pics from N's B-Day party.
The cake was inspired by this tutorial posted on my Tumblr blog... I made the banner using Stampin'Up rubber stamps.
My friend Carol made all the yummy stuff...don't forget to visit her Etsy shop!
Party Favors:
It was a rainy and cold day (not what I expected). But it was so nice to see good friends and family!
And thanks to Carol for the pics below!
I made these cards using a cling stamp set and one sheet of 12x12 patterned paper by The Paper Studio, ribbon and flower brads.
Other supplies: VersaMark and VersaMagic ink pads, white embossing powder, glitter, Copic markers, glue pen, foam tape and metallic watercolor.
And due to lack of time, I'll be doing some scheduled posts here...so if I take a while to answer comments and/or e-mails, please forgive me! =)
Have a nice day!
I used supplies from Hobby Lobby: rose petals (from the Wedding Department), stretchy ribbon (Sewing Department), black glitter felt and fabric glue (Crafts Department).
You can see how I made the flower center here.
I just hand cut the felt circles instead of using a die-cut machine...
Summer is almost gone...before it goes, here's a card I made for a friend who was moving to Florida.
I guess I never posted the pics from my Baby Shower...
And here are the details of the goodie bags:
I hand-stamped the bags, made the tags and the clothespins. I filled them with a handmade bookmark, an acrylic holder with magnet (for future baby pics), a beaded cellphone embellishment, and a "thank you" tag.
1. Bags: stamp from Fancy Pants Designs.
2. Tag: stamp from Stampabilities, colored with Copic markers. Paper from Fancy Pants Designs.
3. Clothespins: sprayed Tsukineko Cornflower Walnut Ink Spray, stamped border (Fancy Pants Designs) and heat embossed in silver, added a paper flower (Prima) and a blue pearl in the center.
Invitations (update!)

I made these flashcards for my son recently...
I die-cut the letters with my Slice, adhere them on 4x6 inches cards, used rubber stamps and colored the images, and finally, laminated the cards.
This is what my friends and I made for Mother's Day at church: Felt Flower Brooches.
And here's how we made it (no sewing required):
Materials: Felt, Fabric Glue (Beacon), Pins, Die-Cut Machine (Cuttlebug), "somewhat round" die of your choice.
1. Die-cut 8 pieces out of felt, using a die-cut machine. Or you could just use scissors...make a template out of cardboard, trace it onto the felt and cut it out.
2. Place a drop of glue in the center of the die-cut felt and fold it in half.
3. Then, place a drop of glue where my thumb is (in step 2) and fold the felt in half again.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 for 6 more pieces. You can use a paper clip to hold them in place until the glue settles a bit...then, they should look like this.
5. Using the piece you didn't glue as a base, place some glue in the middle and glue 4 of the "petals", as shown.
6. Now, put some glue in the middle of the flower base. Place the remaining 3 "petals" in your hand like so, and...
7. Glue them, as shown. Of course, you could glue them one by one...but I thought this way was easier to place them where I wanted, without having to fix them too much...
8. Glue the pin on the back (not shown). Fluff the "petals". Let the glue dry for a few hours, and they're ready to go!
P.S. I wrote "somewhat round die of you choice" because the pics show a scalloped edge flower (in black), but the pink brooches where done using a die that looks like a flower...so, the results might be a little different.
The black felt was cut using QuicKutz Nesting Flowers and the pink one was Sizzix Flower Layers.
We were trying to figure it out how to tell my husband's family about the pregnancy...then, I stumbled upon this blog: Freshline Illustration.
Colleen was having a GiveAway and I won a set of personalized stationery! Aren't they cute?
I added the hand-stamped "U" and the inside:

I haven't been posting...again...
Here's the reason why!
I'm pregnant...again! =)
About 26 weeks now.
Can't use the computer for too long like last time. It gives me a headache.
But I have a few projects here and there...so, hopefully you'll see some in a few weeks...
