Backpack bag


Antohter one of the bags.

Backback birthday bags



I love these birthday backpack bags I made for my friend's little girl's birthday party! Her daughter absolutely gasped when she saw them. They are blinged out to the hilt, and will make the greatest gift bag of the neighborhood! Love them. Hope you do too.

Glitter Galore!


For any of you who are like me and have to have bling on everything you do, will appreciate this simple posting. I came across this glitter yesterday (not cheap mind you) and just on the couple of projects I have done already, LOVE IT! Sometimes quality does cost a little more. Cheers!

Soccer girly treat bags




Ok. Love this basket die cut from Stampin Up using the big shot. I must say the bags are a little tricky to glue together, but the end result is darling. My friend is having an end of the year soccer party at her house for her daughter's team. I suggested I make these bags, and display them with all the frills. It turned out so incredibly cute! I am sure the girls will love their candy gifts inside too!

Vintage Christmas Decor




I just love Christmas! Especially vintage items. This tree topper and angels are just too sweet!

Christmas Tags




How much fun had making these darling tags. Found some of the most amazing quality embelishments for the glitter. A little more expensive, but the outcome is so spectacular! A local shop is interested in displaying and selling these items. I am so flattered; especially since this is my first go at the tags. I guess not too much different from the cards essentially. Love the holiday season, especially Christmas.

Vintage baby card


Love the new Hanna stamp set. So fun, and can make so many type of themed cards. Definitely going to make some Christmas cards with this set.

Tiffany Inspired blue



I love this aqua mist paper stock. So pretty. Reminds of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's. Made a darling baby shower card for my sister in law (having a boy). Love doing the style with the nestability die cuts and tons of stickles. She loved the card by the way. Also made a card for my mom to give to her, and kept in the theme of the aqua mist paper. Just so delicate, whimsical and pretty.

Can not forget the fatties



Can not forget to add Bella and Lucca in on my postings. Louie is so frickin' cute, but need to make sure that Lucca and Bella get their spotlight too. This is the cute welcome I get everyday when I come home. I love them all!

Other vintage inspired X-mas cards




Some vintage (hopefully you think they look vintage) inspired cards. Trying my hand at some different color combinations. love the red and blue. Would never have tried these two together until I saw some great cards done with these colors.

Memory Board



Here is my first attempt at a memory board. I have been wanting to do this for a while, and was too chicken til now. And can not believe how much easier it was than I thought. And came out so cute I must add. I purchased this cute vintage frame from a local Chaby Chic place called Cottage Girls, for like $14, and used burlap and darling pink ribbon. I think the topper of it all are the vintage buttons and brooches. They just really made it look so unique. And not costly at all! Can not wait to make some for my friend's kids.

Vintage inspired




Ok, so here is my attempt at the vintage inspired cards. I am trying to be more creative with adding more variety with my embelishments. Including trims, ribbon, punches, etc.. My hope is that with more practice, I can get even more creative. Hope you like.

Baby Thank You





I made a foursome of baby thank yous to go along with the most recent baby card post. Again love the simplicity for thank yous sometimes. She loved them. They are so soft and girly.

Floating spin cards



I had so much fun making these cards. And how fun for the recipient when they open it up. Just adds some excitment to getting a card. A little surprise! Enjoy.

Dreamy Tree in the Snow


Love this stamp, and unfortunately can not remember who makes it. Sorry. However just reminds me of a beautiful snowy day, and just sparkles. Love it. Again with the stickles. And, of course, a ribbon to finish it off.

Doggie thank yous


I made some of the cutest invites for a friend's little girl's birthday party. They were doggie themed. Silly me did not make any extras, nor did I take any photos of the invite. I know, silly. Anyway, here is the thank you to follow the theme. So simple, yet in person just so darling and love the color combination. My friend's little girl LOVED them. Since I have no children, this is my outlet. Love making these.

Baby card


Made this sweet baby card for a friend who is obviously going to be having a little girl soon. I was inspired by a local shop called The Paper Garden, in Sacramento. The owner makes the most darling invites, and has the most creative ideas. My friend just loved it. I used a shimmer paper and of course lots and lots of stickles. Addicted! Who ever created the stickles needs to be honored. Don't know what I would do without my stickles.

Birthday Banner



Ok, so excited to use my big shot, and make the cutest birthday banner. I must say the photo does not do it justice. Maybe some of you have tips for me on the photography side of this stuff. Anyway, I suggested my friend for whom the banner is for her little girl who is turning 8; that she string white lights around the top of the banner to make it even more special. Can not wait to hear how she likes it.

Louie Louie

Is he just the cutest!? My 3rd dog I just adopted. Can you believe someone gave this darling guy up? His name is Louie, and he is an old english bulldogge. He is 1 1/2 years old. He needed an ACL surgery right before I permanantly adopted him. He is doing great, but may need a dentist :). What do you think? Ha ha.

Birthday Invitation

Birthday invitation for my friend's little girl's 8th birthday party. So cute! She is going to love it. I can not wait to get my die cuts from SU to make the most darling birthday banner for her. Had so much fun making these, and can not wait to see the look on her face!

Sympathy card

Sympathy card for my mom's friend. Her boyfriend passed recently and just felt so bad for her. Thought the colors were soothing and a very serene image.

Birthday card


A birthday card for my friend Melissa. Reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffanys. When I went to visit her in Chicago, had my experience of visiting Tiffanys. Love this color combination.
