Birthday Invitations


I posted the party favors on Saturday so I figured I better post the invites also.  We had a girls night away and spent the night making the invites.  Had a ton of fun!!!  Couple bottles of wine and 4 hours of crafting makes an amazing night full of fun and laughs!!!


Here's part of our assembly line...


 Here they are almost finished!  Just a few more finishing touches...


The final invite finished.  They all were a bit different whether it was the dsp used on each one or the way the bling was added.  They all came out beautiful though.....

Birthday Favors!!!

One of my best friends just celebrated a MAJOR birthday milestone.  Her colors were black, turquoise, and white.  I helped out and made "50" party favors in her colors, dsp, and bling that matched her invitations that we made.


Here is the pile almost done....we filled them with Lindor Balls.


Here is a close up of them all done.


Here they are on the treat table!  Her birthday was awesome!  Loved how everything turned out!!!

You ROCK ~ sunburst

Made this card for my husbands birthday this year.  He loves ROCK-n-ROLL so I only thought this was fitting.  I really like the sunburst look in the back ground.  It reminds me of the light shows they do at the concerts.  And what saying would complete this card but SU's Bombs Away Birthday saying...

congratulations!
The music you grew up on is now considered
CLASSIC ROCK

Oscar the Grouch


My boss gave me a bunch of her stamps that she no longer wanted and can I say that I was in heaven!!!  There was a small basket full of Sesame Street stamps and this was one!!!  Love Oscar the Grouch and still do!!!  I kept this card quick and simple.  Just stamped and colored in with SU's watercolor pencils.  I do need to remember to  use staz on rather than our regular black in when I want to color to prevent smearing.

Quintin's Senior Prom 2014


Although this is a year late in posting, how can I not post this!  Yes you are seeing this right!!!  He is dressed up in the orange tux from "Dumb and Dumber".  Ever since he saw this movie he said he wanted to wear this tux for his senior prom and guess what?  He did!  Everyone loved it!  Some knew right away what tux it was from, but most thought it was a mad hatter type of tux.  He didn't care, he had a blast in it!  He actually wanted to buy instead of rent it!!!  Yes, he would wear it believe it or not.  So it would not of been money wasted.

Store Boutique

Can I just say I LOVE this thinlit die!!!  Yes, it took me a while to break down and buy this die, but I love it and see it being used often.  This is a super, easy, cute card that can be thrown together quickly for almost any occasion.  Granted, I did use some expired DSP (remember I am trying to use it up...), but this makes a super cute dress with a cardigan.  This card can be stepped up very easily with some pearls or gems for a necklace or even cut out a flower from the DSP and use on the cardigan....

Fancy Dance

This was one of the first dress card CASES I ever did using the Scallop Circle Die.  It was years ago and I haven't pulled it out in a while, but with my "For the Girls" Therapy Card Nite dress cards it went over well.  I did see where someone cut the slit and used the window word punch behind to make it look like the slip showing through, that I did CASE.  Thought it was cute.  I did this card with more sophisticated colors of black and gray with the silver belt and pearls for the accents.
