New Boss

I work from home an my coworkers are located all over the state. We just got a new boss, and we were all getting together for two days of staff development so I made this card for everyone to sign. We also chipped in to get him some gift certificates as he's moving here from Wyoming and will be living out of a hotel until he can get settled.

In other news, Jessica and I are planning to Skypebook tonight. I'm hoping to get some actual scrapbooking done!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Max! I made these 1st birthday invitiations for my friend, Marina. Her little man turns one on Friday! The paper used is Tinkerin' by CTMH, and the robot is from the Robotz Cricuit cartridge.

Déjà vu en Español… (plus a pun!)

This is the last time I'm going to use this card layout, I promise! This card is for my best friend's husband, who was complaining today that I never send him anything. The frog is made with the Create A Critter cartridge (Cricut, of course), and the paper... well, not sure. Grabbed it from my scrap pile!

I also created a draft of a 1st Birthday invitation, but you'll have to wait to see that one until it's finished!

Besides the cards, I decided to craft up my work laptop. Don't worry folks, everything is removeable!One last thing... if you're wondering where the pun is, it's in the answer to the question... nada! HA!

Same layout...

My mom's birthday is coming up and I thought I'd use the same layout I did for the skull card. I love how this turned out!! The balloon (and cloud pair) is a Verve stamp, and I used Copics to color the image. The paper... no idea! I just used scraps from my scrap file. I love, love, love this card!

A Year Later...

Now that it's been almost a year since my last post, let's get this show on the road again! The person I made this card for hasn't received it yet, but I'm safe posting here because she doesn't know about this blog! =o)

I used my Indie Art Cricut cartridge for the skull- how cute is that?! I filled the eyes in with black Stickles. I toyed with the idea of putting pink bling eyeballs, but then it crossed the line from cute to semi-creepy, so I put the bling on the side. The zebra paper is fuzzy, and the bottom strip is stamped with CTMH stamps (You Rock set) and then covered with Smooch spray. I've never really decorated the inside of my cards before, but my friend Shannon always does and it always looks awesome, so she was my inspiration for finishing the inside.

Scrappin' Pad

I just got back from a girl's weekend... a scrap retreat at the Scrappin' Pad in Tahlequah, OK. It was great! I recommend it! Although it is probably no surprise to anyone who knows my scrapping style, I didn't get a lot done. But, I did make myself step out of my box to create this layout. I found this layout in last month's Creating Keepsakes, and I liked it, but since I'm a bit OCD and very mathematical, I didn't think I could make myself work on an angle. I did it any way, and I love the way it turned out.

Now you can call me a 'turd ass'

Here's an addition to the monkey war my mom and I have going on (see my first blog for more details). But first a short explanation of the inside of the card... my mom called me a 'turd ass' the other day for something she thought I did, which I really didn't. So this is the birthday card I sent her. I know, probably nobody else thinks it's nearly as funny as I do... =o)
