Save The Dates!

Well... its time for my first wedding related post!! After a full summer of work, the SAVE THE DATES are almost done!! I can't show them to you yet since they haven't been mailed... but I can tease you a little!

It started over July 4th weekend with:
4 Aunts
2 Cousins/Bridesmaids
1 Mother
1 Grandmother
and many paper cutters





We continued in the beginning of August, this time we only had a skeleton crew of
1 Aunt
1 Cousin/Bridesmaid
1 Mother
1 Fiance

A GOCCO


a XYRON


And the use of many, many surfaces....


Stay tuned for the final product!!

Home Sweet Housewarming

Seems like a lot of my friends are moving this summer so it was time to create some housewarming cards.

This first card, in shades of green was for a friend who just moved into an apartment very near to mine! (yay!!)



This second card was originally created for a friend who is moving alllllllll the way across the country to L.A.

Sometimes, a card is too much!

Well... in my opinion - not very often! A handmade card is such a cute gesture especially since cards of any kind are slowly disapearing and being replaced by e-mail. But, ther are those times when a card is too much, and an adorable tag is just right! These tags were all made at Stampin Mom's crafting weekend this winter... and they are adorable! Wouldn't they be perfect on a bottle of wine as a hostess gift?

More about Stampin Mom!

Speaking of Stampin Mom... I wanted to share some more of her work!! Over the winter, my Mom hosted a full out stamping Weekend at her house with her sisters! These are all the cards we made!!

Stampin Mom

Its high time I included some work from my Stampin Mom!! She is the one who got me addicted to cards & invitations and well... lets just say that her work blows mine out of the water a lot of the time! So last weekend I graduated from Grad School and here is the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Graduation card that Stampin Mom designed for me!!

Get Well Wishes

Here's a cute card I made for the DF's Grandfather who hurt his back recently...

Spring is in the Air!

Well... I haven't posted in a couple of weeks... but I believe I have a good excuse.... I'm ENGAGED!! woo hoo!! The boy popped the question on 3/29/08 (six years to the day of the night we met) and I said yes... get ready for the deluge of wedding crafting coming your way!

I guess spring was in the air because I had 4 other friends all get engaged last month. I had seen this super cute set of retired stamps by StampinUp called Lifecycles last year and I knew it would make a great engagement card. Once everyone started getting engaged I decided to buy it from ebay and make some engagement cards for my friends!
