{Card For Mr A's Teacher}

One morning I got up and Mr A was already awake.  And he says "It's my teacher's birthday today can we make her a card?"  How could I possible say no to that?  lol  He is such a sweet boy.....at times lol  He really does have a big heart.  :-D  I wasn't about to say no.  And since I've been organizing my craft room I knew where my things were, and I was able to quickly put together a pretty cute card.  I had him give me input so that he felt he was helping me.  I was able to use my new toy that my Sister gave me for my birthday!!  I was really excited about that!  :-D  I used the cuttlebug with the swirl folder one the pink paper and the stamp cut out and then the cupcake embossed design too.  I also stamped Happy Birthday on the bottom with white ink, but you can't really see it in the pictures.  lol  I think it turned out pretty darn cute!  :-D

The picture really isn't good cuz I took it with my phone.....I was able to turn on my camera for a few mins though and get a couple pics....so as soon as I get them on the computer I'll post a better picture.  lol  I just wanted to get this posted.  :-)

{Kara's Birthday Presents}

Here is a horrible picture of one of the birthday gifts that I made for Kara's 19th Birthday.  She really likes to draw, and also write plays.  So I took a clip board and I spray painted (this is prolly my bff now that I've met her lol) it purple on the front and back.  And then I took and put her name and a crown on the back of it and blinged it out for her since she is girly like me like that.  :-D  I wanted to leave the front of the clip board smooth so that when she is writting on it she has that smooth surface.  I also put some laminating material over it to help protect it.
I don't know if I didn't get any pictures of it......or if I just can't find them on my computer.....but I also got her a spiral notebook.....and I altered the cover of it for her.  It's in the same theme of her clip board and birthday card.  Pink, Purple, K, Crown..... :-D  I also put a BUNCH of ribbons on the spiral part of it.  I really liked the way it ended up turning out.  I also ended up putting the same laminating material over the cover of that too to help protect it.
I think this is a great gift idea for someone and I really enjoyed making it for her.  :-D

{Your Birthday}

I made a card! lol I forgot my camera in the truck, so I scanned it into the computer. I'll find out if I like scanning or taking pics better soon. For now this will have to do. :-)
Since I'm still organizing and labeling things in my craft room I decided to do a card from my scraps. I don't know any of the names or brands of the cardstock or pattern paper....I'd have to say that I'm pretty bad at that too. I used a few different colors of purple to go with the patern paper I had. Oh! I found the name for the patter paper! lol It's Deja Views FRESH PRINT Plum Stripes. And I used a birthday set that I don't even have the name on any more. I'm going to have to get better at this I know. And I used a Martha Stewart border punch to make the 'lace' detail. But for now I'm just so happy to be creating something new. :-)
I have a lot of birthdays that I like to make cards for so I thought it would be something that I'll definately use. :-)
