Happy March Birthday

March 15, 2014

Happy birthday Brianna!  My brother's girlfriend's daughter is celebrating a birthday this week.  Here's the card I made for her.  The stamp I believe is an Elizabeth Bell, colored in with copic markers, the card stock is from Paper Trey Ink, the sentiment is from Annie's Cardmaking Kit.  The design paper is from my stash. As I said last post I have a lot of scraps that I'm trying to use up.  The flowers I bought from Michaels, I don't remember who made them. I tend to take everything out of its wrapper and put it in a storage bin I have just for flowers.

Enjoy, and keep Scrappin2Heaven.

You Can Do It!

March 13, 2014

Here's a card I made.  I was actually thinking of my oldest child when I made it.  When I look at this stamp from Gina K, I see a woman who is sure of herself and what she wants.  The sentiment inside is also from Gina K and says:

    "Overcome the notion that you have to be regular.  It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary."

My daughter is a typical teenager who is trying to fit in with the "popular" kids.  I'm trying to teach her to not lower her standards in order to fit in.  She has a gift of drawing people to her and has a nice personality when she wants to.  I want her to see that she is special and to stop following the wrong crowd and make her own path to success and not failure.  But at age 14 children her age think parents don't know anything.

She's a work in progress and I know that when all is said and done, she's going to make me proud. I love you Rebecca!

Baby Card

My niece gave birth to a beautiful little boy on Thursday, February 27.  He weighed in at 6 lbs and  8 oz. and 19" long.  This is her 2nd child.  Oldest brother, Jaden, is so, so happy.  Here's the card I made for her.

I'm trying to use up some of the cardstock and design papers I've had sitting around for years.  I really need to make room for new stuff.  The image is colored in with my copics and then cut out and framed with my spellbinder dies.  The pearls on the corners were white and I colored them in with my copic markers.  I like how this came out.  Think I'll make a few more.  There'll always be a need for baby cards.

Have a great day!

Happy Belated Valentines Day

March 2, 2014

I have been having computer issues and can't seem to download the photos of my cards to my blog.  I had created the below Valentine card for my mom and my 2 girls.  I love the 3 of them very much and wouldn't trade them for anything.  My eldest just turned 14 and she's a typical teenager that is straining at the bit as far as obeying authority figures.  We seem to be butting heads a lot lately, but I know that as a parent I need to stand my ground and know that "this too shall pass".

Keep Scrappin 2 Heaven!
