Birthday Cards

So they don't look like birthday cards, but I really wanted to personalize them for a couple of gal pals that had some birthdays this past month. When I use patterned paper for my base(which I have been loving lately), I will adhere a solid piece of paper in the inside so my writing shows up. Have a wonderful weekend!
 

Summer Stripey Cards

Rounding out the end of my summer cards. I am hoping if I start to make some fall themed cards, it will force the weather to cool down :)

I have a little  4 year old scrapping buddy now! She loves to make thank you cards...They are all over the house, it is fun finding them hidden.

Yellow and Blue For You

Two more summer cards on this Monday!                    

Sailboat Card

Hello friends, I have a new card to share today! The boat is from Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge, and it worked perfectly with the boat paper. I found a stash of SRM stickers in a folder, so I decided to make good use of them:)

Football Mini Book

I made a mini for a friend's upcoming birthday. Although I didn't have a ton of pictures, it was just enough to pull a mini together. The book size is 5x7.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

This Carrot Cake Recipe + Cream Cheese Frosting = pure joy!

Summer Foods Cards

 

I kinda waited to long for 4th of July cards, so here are some summer foods cards. When my mom found the Carousel Cricut cartridge at Wal Mart for half off, I was all for it! It has a cool font, and quite a few really cute images. Think I will be moving on to some beach themed cards next, I have lots of Echo Park summer stickers waiting to be used.

Back in Business

 Capri, checked of the must see list

Taking a week off from blogging turned into about four months rather quickly! My mom and I took the kids on a spring break trip to San Diego, and right about that time I developed an infection...that turned into a nightmare. And honestly, it isn't fully straightened out, but much more manageable than it has been for a few months. I have a new found respect for people that have chronic pain. 

Lots of the usual has gone on, and some fun things with the family. The hubby and I spent a couple of weeks on vacation, a lovely Mediterranean cruise with a few days of Rome squeezed in before and after. We set up a small pool in the backyard, I don't know why we didn't think of this about ten years ago when we moved in, it has made the heat much more bearable. 

I have been doing a few crafts here and there, I am ready to share and see what all everyone else has been up to! (Ooh, and I did do a blog makeover:)
