Just Add Dirt - August 3, 2011

Lately, my focus has been on painting my house and traveling for work.  I have not had much time for crafting.  However, today I thought I would share a quick layout that I put together so you would not think I was totally missing in action!

 My husband loves the outdoors.  He gardens, landscapes and even creates driveways.  He was busy last fall working with his heavy equipment making a driveway.  I went to visit him to bring him lunch, and snapped a few pictures.  Even though the layout is simple, I had fun creating it and wanted to share it.

Happy Poppy Birthday! - July 23, 2011

Just a simple birthday card.  The cake pops out with a spring.  Even though it is hard to see, I popped up some of the letters on the happy birthday background paper.

The Corrosive Challenge - July 22, 2011

My creative mojo has not been there for about a week.  I guess I needed a break.  However, I wanted to participate in the Corrosive Challenge #125 but I just did not have any stamps that were about music.  I dug through my swap stash to find this adorable image that I colored to match a 70's theme rock band.  I also added a little glitter to the guitar. This card will be perfect for a birthday!  "Have a Rockin' Birthday!"

The Corrosive Challenge - July 12, 2011

My mother has really been into quilting lately.  She is carrying on the tradition of sewing in my family.  Her mother, my grandmother, was fabulous at sewing.   I am going to be celebrating my mother's birthday in September.  She will be 65 years old.  I think I might hold out and give her this card for her birthday.  The Sketch is from the Corrosive Challenge #124.  You should play along, the sketch is SEW easy!  The stamp set is from Stampin Up Sew Suite.  I made the background paper using SU Bermuda Bay and stamping the spool of ribbon on the back.  The ruler is also made by using the same stamp set.  I cut out the ruler, paper pierced the end, and popped it up with pop up dots!  Have a SEW Fabulous Day!
