Hello crafty friends,

My sister and her family are moving far away :( for her boys I wanted them to have some memories of family back here so this is one of the books I made for the oldest boy! I love it....him, well hes young yet :)

I used the L8ter skater paper pack, dimentional elements, arrows, family love stamp d1506 and in gear stamp set b1415. Hope you like it :)

Team Blog Hop

Hi again!
    I am so thankful for my upline Brae Montgomery for inviting us all to a team blog hop! This was the motivation I needed to get back into blogging :)

Our focus this month is New spring product from the Feb- July CTMH idea book.Thank you for visiting! If you have arrived here from Tamara Lisowski's blog http://geermara.blogspot.com/2013/03/blog-hop-march-25-2013.html
then you are at the right place! If you have just started, no worries, its a circular hop, but if you get lost you can go to Brae's blog at http://thebrae-er.blogspot.com.

 So here is what I have done so far :) For Always Paper, my favorite so far.
 I am more of a "card girl" and this one is my favorite. It uses the Pun Fun stamp set C1505, Black toole and a little bit of Tommy paper for the yellow strips on the bottom.

 This card has the washi tape on the side. That tape is so pretty and easy to use!

This card uses the grey sparkle paper and the stamp set I got with the cricut artiste collection D1530.

 This is the stamp set from the Chantilly Workshop on the go. The balloons were free handed. This is my moms Favorite card :)

This is my later sk8r paper pack display board. Love this paper pack!! I also used the In Gear stamp set B1415.

I hope you like what I have made so far.If you have any questions please leave me a message. If you would like to order from me you may message me or go to www.rnmom.myctmh.com.

Christmas cards for march

Hello cyber friends :)
    Well looks like I'm on a roll :)
Every month I try to make 5 Christmas cards so that when Christmas comes I'm ready and less stressed! This month I've only made 3 but I love each of them.....and the month isn't over yet!
This first card is inspired by some blog challenges. The first one is http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.ca/ sketch #77 and the second challenge is http://52cct.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/march-theme-week.html where the theme is to use animals.

 This one was using CTMH's new sparkle paper. I cut the snow flakes on the cricut.

 I do not know where this card sketch came from but I have used it several times this year. so versatile.

Hope you like my cards and may you be inspired to create your own.

Teachers gifts

Hello blogger land :)
    well I apologize for falling off the earth for a while, its amazing how much can happen in a year!! But I miss posting my creations and joining challenges so here is to a new, wonderful year!!
This is a creation I was very proud of! For each child's teacher I made a card box with 6 cards, a water bottle that says "thank you for quenching my thirst for knowledge" and a popcorn with another cute saying and a matching gift bag.

The paper is retired now. Hope this gives you some ideas :)
