Father's Day DUCT-TAPE Card!

I thought this was HILARIOUS!!

Make the man in your life a DUCT-TAPE card!  Tee, hee...

Super cute, huh!  Heartland Paper was the creator of this gem!  Even though we have moved to another state...I STILL love that scrapbooking store!  I sooooOOoooo *heart* them!  

They Say It's Your Birthday....

...da-da-da-dah-dah!

Holy CUPCAKES!!!  Now that we live pretty far away from ALL of our family members....we have got to be "on-the-ball" with sending B-Day cards....thus my mass production of 'de cupcake cards....in ALL colors!

Yep - pretty much something for EvErYoNe!

Ummm....Holly...no peeking!! :)

This ToTaLLy Says SPRING!

Isn't this card precious!?!  Little Birdie Secrets has a video tutorial showing how to make the paper roses.  We recently had our Spring Break and I mass-produced Birthday Cards to last us all year....so my appreciation for other homemade cards has gone up in just a week!  LOL

Why I Have Been MIA!?!

Weeeellllll.......the long story short IS....it was a completely HOMEMADE Christmas this year!! Now that my hubby is back in school...and I am his "sugar mama"...finances are tighter than what we have been used to. Thus - we decided to create gifts from the heart...and so I have been furiously scrambling to finish up all of our MANY projects....which I can now showcase!!

Ohh laa laa!!

First up would be the box of CARDS that I gave to my older sis. My friend, Melissa did this for her mother...and ever since, I have wanted to do it for one of MY fam members. My sis, Erica, is so thoughtful when it comes to stuff like cards....so she was the perfect recipient!

Homemade Christmas Post #1:

I made six cards of each....and kept one for myself (so I can duplicate them in the future).

The above cards were my last batch...I was pretty exhausted by then...so they were the most simple!

I L.O.V.E. how my above "Thank You" cards turned out! AaauugghhH!!!

These would have looked even BETTER if I had time to ink the edges...but they were still darling!

SUCH a simple design, yet so cute!

The above card...my "design" from a Card Swap I did earlier in the year...I had enough to give Erica five of them!

My cute sis after opening the present...

A handful of the cards! A HUGE success!

I will be posting about our MILLION other little projects during the next few days! Hope you all had as FABULOUS a Christmas as we did! LOVE this time of year!

Ribbon Christmas Tree.....CaRd!

Love, LOVE, lOvE the ribbon idea on this card! It just looks so simple. Found on Deck the Halls of Home with Joy.

SOOOOO Stinkin' Cute!!

...OOoohhhhhoooo...and I mean STINKIN'!!

Seriously...these invites make me want to throw a Halloween Party...JUST so I can make them!! Luckily...one of our new friends in our new town has already taken on the role of hosting a FUN Halloween party....so I can't add making these cards onto my already ENDLESS "To Do" list! (But...they would be worth it, huh!)

Heartland Paper posted this invite on their blog...WITH....drumroll please........
