BABY CARDS!!

Mazel Tovs all around!

All my mother's friends seem to be having babies, so she asked me to make a bunch of cards for her.

As Murphy's law would have it, I took the pictures on my phone yesterday since I had no camera to take the pictures with and then today, guess what showed up? My new camera, of course!

But my mother already gave away the cards, so I can't re-take the pics. So some of them are sorta blurry.

Sorry!

So here we go, with 3 boys cards are 2 girls ones.

The two girls cards are basically the same and

2 of the boys cards have a similar layout.

That's it!

Please comment and follow my blog!

Update

Who wants to hear something funny?? (Oooh, ooh, pick me!)

You know how I'm always having camera trouble?

Well, I just got back form camp today and guess what happened in camp? MY CAMERA WAS RELOCATED!!! To the bottom of the Ten Mile River!! Whoohoo!

Actually, I was very upset when it happened, but now it's just funny. I don't think I'm gonna get a new one soon, so I'll see how this blog-a-ma-jig is gonna work. Maybe I'll use my sister's camera.

But basically I'm just updating you on what's happening and I will hopefully get posts up soon!

Mwa,

Summer Cards

I'm going to camp tomorrow morning, so I wanted to make a bunch of cards like I normally do so I can send cute cars (mainly B-day cards) to my friends from camp. I can always call, but letters and cards are so campy, and I love them!

Here are the cards I made today- I honestly feel like crap today, so nice comments would be appreciated!

3 are the same basic design...and all the glittery cupcakes are from Hallmark. The rest of the materials are all a mush in my mind...idk!!!

That's all!

See you!

Graduation Randomness (lots of pics!)

I GRADUATED YESTERDAY!!! WHOOHOO!!I just had to get that out there!

So I don't have many cards (that I made) to show off...actually, none... BUT I have a few random crafty things to show that are fun!

WARNING!!! LONG POST AHEAD!!! (But it's good- keep reading!)

#1:

Check out this stunning card my sister gave me with my graduation gift:

Is that GORGEOUS or what? It's from Papyrus and I love the glitter and the fact that it's a butterfly! She told me she wanted to get a super card for the girl who loves card. She totally nailed it.

(If you'd like to see the present she got for me, let me know... I just forgot to take the picture now.)

#2:

I was going through old stuff in my garage and I found a lot of things from 8th grade, including a children's book I had to write for English class. I remember working FOREVER on it, but it really was a good book. So I took pictures of it so everyone could see how awesome I was as a 13 year old. Lol, tooting my own horn.

The book is a cross between a scrapbook-style story and actual pictures and backgrounds. Most of the characters were cut out in teeny tiny pieces and assembled together carefully.

Here we go:

This was all done in a mini-scrapbook. Here's the cover. It was called Rosie and Rosalyn: Best Friends Forever, and honestly it was more like a high school or junior high drama but it was supposed to be for children so I made my characters 3rd graders.

Aw...they're cute.

I even had a copyright page. (Some things are crossed out for privacy reasons.) I thought I was so professional!

And here's the story! (You can't really read it, but the story isn't really the point of showing this.)

Rosalyn has a cute room!

I took a second picture of the classroom page since it was so cute!

Last page...happy ending! yay!

That was fun! Onto the next (and last) part...

#3:

I will hopefully be going away next year to Israel to study for a year, as will many of my friends, but we're all going to be in different schools, so I wanted to make some signs for my friends as going-away presents, that they could hang on their dorm walls. So I had the idea to make a "miss you" sign made over a background of tons of punched hearts. I used an EK Success punch, and I literally sat there punching for ages! My garbage can was full of papers that had been eaten up by my punch.

But seriously, I love that punch. It gets so much use from me.

This is the result:

I used reflective paper for this one:

Extra hearts:

All of them:

I will most likely be putting this in the center of a larger paper with picture of that particular friend and me around it, but I still need to print my pictures to do that. :)

The black chipboard letters are Bo Bunny and the rest I cut out free-hand. I just sprinkle the hearts on Elmer's- glue coated paper. I tried to stick to double-sided patterns so I wouldn't get too many white hearts.

I mainly used scraps, so this is a great way to use up scrap paper.

So..... that's it! How's everyone's summer going?

Sorry the pictures keep changing size...

Thanks for reading- please comment!

Mwa!

Big Project- Part 2

I finally finished my *big project*!!!! Yayness!

It took a lot shorter than I would have thought.

I spent about 5 or 6 late nights finishing them and it turned out great!

I've never made 50 cards at once, so this is a huge deal for me.

What was annoying was actually filling them out and personalizing the messages, since I'm not that great at writing inside cards. It helped that I had typed up a list of the teachers and what they taught me, so I'd have it in front of me to keep track of and know what to thank them for.

I also couldn't help bringing them into school to show off; my classmates were so impressed. ( It helped my ego :))

And since filling them out took so long, i ended up doing a lot in class- the same classes of the teachers I was thanking for teaching me. Ironic.

So here's the last bunch. I've got most of them lined up and then some of the last few at the end.

Oh, wow! Look at all those cards.........

Lalalalala....

The card fronts of the last few...

Glitter!

My "hand stamped by" stamp on the back of the cards. I then hand-sign underneath it.

Whet do you use to personalize your cards? (Stamp is from My Sentiments Exactly!)

More pretty cards! (Gosh, I a full of myself today! Tehhee..)

And...all lined up in their envelopes! I gave them into the office to put in the teacher's boxes on Thursday. I hope they got them!

And that's it! I can't imagine that people do this every holiday season- it was such a big job! But it was so fun!

Please share any projects you've done recently and please leave COMMENTS!!

Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend!

I have school tomorrow- but it's my LAST day- ever!! I'm graduating in 3 weeks! I can't believe it!

Anyway, enough rambling...nighty night, everyone!
