Construction Site Birthday Card

It's Master "C's" 2nd birthday! He had a Construction Site Birthday Party complete with dump trucks and tractors.  He's so into trucks right now it was the perfect party for him!  This is the card I designed.

Are you ready to start making your Christmas Cards?

We saw our first overnight snowfall in Northern Utah this morning... it looked beautiful! It inspired me to start working on Christmas cards.

When the new Fall Fun kit was released by Queen and Company my mind immediately thought of my granddaughter, Miss "M".  She has long beautiful Auburn / Copper hair color and sparkling green eyes (just like her Nana ;-)  Instead of dressing her for fall, I changed it up and used Christmas paper instead.

Milk Can with Fall Flowers - Shaker Card

It's been more than a minute since I posted anything to my blog... but I think it's time I get that started back up again!

When Queen & Company showed some sneak peeks of the new Autumn Air kit... I knew this one was for me.  Since we have a "farmhouse" in the "city" (Hyde Park has a population of 5,677) it was perfect! I think my favorite is this cute milk can! I have one just like this and filled with beautiful flowers too!

Thanks for visiting and happy fall... y'all

Valentine Town

I saw these super cute little houses at The Wood Connection in Layton a few months ago and thought how cute they would be decorated for Valentines. Each one has their own personality and it was so much fun creating each of them! I used Authentique Paper from their "Romance" collection in the 6x6 paper size. I adore their papers...beautiful colors and patterns and heavy enough it doesn't tear when adding it to wood projects.

Kendra's Wood Sled

 

A few years ago I gave my mom and Kendra both a plain wood sleigh.

Fast forward to a few years later

(this was 2019... and I am just now getting around to posting it)

and I finally got one of them painted.  

Kendra picked which colors and how she wanted it to look,

and I took it from there.

I think it turned out super cute and...

looks even cuter on the front porch of their brand new home!

Now I just need to get the other two done!

Happy December Everyone!!! 

Miss "O"s Minnie Mouse Birthday Shaker Card

This was the card I came up with for my middle grandbabe... 

Miss "O" - She has the funniest personality

and there is never a dull moment when she is around!

I used Queen & Company's Magical Characters kit. 

 She informed me when we went and looked at the new house Todd

and I are building that she wanted her room painted pink!

Miss "O" loves Minnie and has a dress with the large pink polka dots

so I found some paper that matched. I added Q&C bling for her earrings,

pink stars for the shaker and a big #3!

I think we fulfilled the pink part for sure!
