My mom's birthday (August 2013)

I had a lot of fun making this birthday card for my mom. It was like playing with paper dolls again.


I didn't photograph it well, but the purple embossed paper on the inside of the card looked very nice in person.

Cards for Independence Day (July 2013)

I forgot to photograph my brother's birthday card from June 2013. All I remember is that I used a die/stamp set from Sizzix: Sweet Treats.

For the Fourth of July, my creativity waned a bit. If not for Doodlebug creating a design for this holiday, I may not have sent cards out.

My sister Ryan's card

My sister Jamie's card

My boyfriend's card

Happy Mother's Day (May 2013)

I went all out on my mom's Mother's Day card. I overdid it a bit and decorated nearly every inch, but I still think it turned out cute.




I'm showing the back of the card here because I like how the washi tape points to "made with love." :)

Easter cards! (March 2013)

For Easter last year, I created five cards one evening. It took me about an hour per card. Yikes. Most of that time is trying to figure out the card design. Also, I don't have a great work area for my paper crafting. I have all my supplies in ArtBin super satchels, and I sit on my living room floor. See, I don't have a craft room (YET) and don't even have a dining table to use for now. :(

This first card didn't open. I just adhered another egg shape to the back after embossing it.

St. Patrick's Day Cards (March 2013)

I didn't find many choices for St. Patrick's Day cards last year. I would love for Doodlebug to come up with a paper pad for this holiday. I LOVE their paper!

Valentines for my mom and my boyfriend (February 2013)

I adore the Valentine I made for my mom last year. The outside design can easily be used for Mother's Day or a birthday as well.

 
 

After giving my boyfriend a terribly girly anniversary card in December, I decided that his Valentine's Day card should be more masculine.
