Plant Seeds of Kindness

Hello Crafters!

As I mentioned before in my previous post.  My Mom asked me to make her some cards for the women in her church.  So, for the next several weeks I will be posting pictures of the cards I am making. 

My goal is to use up some of my scrap papers I have collected over the last year.  I hope you enjoy my projects.

 I think this is a pretty cute card.  I personally like the sentiment on the flower pot.  Baker's twine is also really cute!

I wanted to show a close up of the stiching I did around the edges since it is hard to see in the pictures above.  I used my sewing machine and I think it looks pretty cute.

Summer Fun; Having a Blast

I must have summer heat on the brain.  First the wagon and now popsicles.  I remember, when I was younger, the ice ceam trucks playing those cute little tinkling tunes.  I would beg my Mom for some money everytime, but we rarely ever got to visit that blessed ice cream truck.  I now know why... Can you say expensive??? Sheesh!  Luckily, my Mom was good about keeping the freezer full with frozen goodies.  What could get better than a wagon party with popsicles on a hot summer day?  Such sweet relief and cool summer fun!

My hubby and I are huge fans of Dreyers fruit bars.  If you have not tried them I totally suggest it.  They are so good on a hot day!  I think they are only like one point or something on Weight Watchers too!

I heat embossed the sentiment.

I just love Peachy Keen Face Stamps!

Well, off to have a strawberry popsicle and craft some more!  Mmmm!

Wa Wooo!!!!

My noise above sounds more like a train... ha ha!

Well, I really need to stock up on different Birthday cards.  There were so many Birthdays in the family over the last couple months that I ran out. 

Sad to say... This is not one of my favorite cards.  There are definetly some things I would do differently the next time around.  For one, I would have popped my balloons up and made sure the baker's twine was behind the balloon. I don't know why I glued the balloons down first. Oh well, craftting isn't perfect and it is still pretty cute.

This card makes me want to be a kid again and play in my red wagon all summer long!  We had so many great times in our red wagon when I was a kid.

For some reason this card makes me think of that song a little bit.  I will be attending a shower at work for one of the most adorable people I know.  She will be tying the knot the first part of August so I wanted to make her a card.  I was trying a different color approach, stretch my creativity, and it turned out pretty cute.

Front of the card.  Lots of layers = Lots of Fun!

This was such a cute quote I couldn't help but put it in! Kids do say the darndest things!  Sometimes I wish I could be like that; say what is on your mind and people think it is cute and funny.  Good thing we have kids to say what we think!

Not that I would share my cricut toys... I get protective over my toys!  My hubby has used my cricut a couple of times and I find myself "supervising" the whole thing just to make sure my cricky is going to be alright.

Silly I know.
