Thank You!

Apparently I'm on a Thank You-Card kick because I've shown you one everyday this week!  Well today is no different, I'm afraid, but this one is so fun :).  My husband works in the corporate world for the best big box retailer out there (hehe, I'm sure you'll figure out which one) and he needed a thank you card.  So ...here's what I came up with! 


I popped up my faux-Bullseye!  Isn't he ADORABLE?!

Thanks for stopping :)

A Teacher Thank You Card

Happy Tuesday!  My oldest daughter {just turned 4} will be completing her first year of preschool in about a month so I decided to get a jump start on her teacher's gift.  I haven't quite decided what I want to make her yet because, thanks to Pinterest, I have about 37 ideas and am having a hard time choosing. :)  BUT, I did get her card made so that's a start.




I made it sort of collage style and popped up all the little characters.  The glue and scissors and the paintbrush and pencil I glued together. 
 
I hope she likes it :)  Thanks for stopping by!

EAD Hop: Pocket Full of Sunshine Stickerz

Good morning (afternoon, or evening!)  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Last week was jam packed with fun for me--I went on a scrapbooking/crafty getaway with my sister.  It was so nice to spend some time with her.  She is due with baby #2 in about 2 weeks so our crafty time together will be put on hold for a bit!  While away, I got some great projects done and even more started, and I'm so excited to share them with you! 


It's Monday so of course that means it's time for another FABULOUS EAD Hop!  I actually have two cards for this hop.  I worked on several projects with my EAD goodies so there's lots to show :).  You should have arrived from the fabulous Judith, but if not make sure you start at EAD's Blog!  You definitely want to check out the awesomeness of the DT and get in on the giveaway for the week!

For both of my cards, I used the Pocket Full of Sunshine Stickerz.  SO cute!  




I am a {serious} self-proclaimed cheese ball; the cheesier, the better!  Of course, when I find something that enables my cheesiness, I run with it.  Such is the case with my first card ...

    HA!  I love it!  My husband thinks I'm the biggest nerd because I think it's so funny! :)
My second card doesn't register on the cheese-o-meter, but it sure is cute!
 I think it's hard to see, but I 'covered' her nose in sunscreen (read: my white gel roll pen and glossy accents).  

Now it's to hop on over to the AH-MAZ-ING Lauren

Make sure to come back tomorrow to see some more EAD awesomeness :).  Thank you!

EAD March Color Challenge!

Hey everyone!  Aren't these colors B.E.A.UTIFUL together?!  I LOVE them and yet I never would have paired them up?!  That, my friends, is just one reason to participate in EAD's Color Challenge every month ...you are exposed to some awesome color combos that may not tickle your fancy if you were to just throw them together yourself!  Another reason, as if you needed another, is because EVERYONE that plays along will receive a 25% off coupon to use in the EAD Store AND one lucky participant will win a $20 gift certificate and the opportunity to be the next months Guest Designer :)  YAHOO!  This means you should DROP what you are doing right now and RUN to your crafty spot.  Start creating ....as soon as your done looking at all the purdy projects we've all created!   
 


This little ol' creation is actually going to one of my husband's {bachelor} friends.  I kept it simple and not-so-girly for that reason but I really love how it turned out.  The picture really does not do it justice!  Doesn't that blue really POP! off the card against the other colors?  Love, love, love!  



These are the stickerz we used--SO fun!  I love the hints of orange in there.  Very nice!  

Alright, the time is now!  RUN {not with scissors}, don't walk!  Go get your craft on so you can have the chance to be April's Guest Designer!  I've had so much fun already, I'm dreading the end of the month :)

Ready. Set. GO! {and when you're done, don't forget to LINK up HERE!}

Exciting week ahead!

Hey, hey everyone!  
I know I haven't posted a ton of crafty in the last couple weeks--shame on me, I'm missing my paper and scissors something fierce!

Actually, I've been busy with more birthday prep for my 'biggest' little that turns 4 soon.  She's having a "Mermaid" birthday and has requested a cake (so no cupcake toppers needed), and other things that I don't have to necessarily make.  I do have a banner (apparently I'm on a banner roll, LOL!) that I'll share with you very soon.  

 I've also taken on a new venture--Thirty-One Gifts!  If you haven't heard of this company, you are missing out most definitely.  On the right side of my blog, you'll see a button that says I'm an independent consultant--go ahead, click on it!  Check it out!  You'll fall in love!  Perfect scrap/crafty organizational tools, super cute totes, purses, etc. ;) 

This weekend I am helping my {very} pregnant sister prep for baby #2 so I'll be, once again, away from my craft room.  BUT ...the good GREAT news is, I WILL be back on Monday for my first Guest Designer Appearance on EAD Designs weekly hop! 

I am BEYOND thrilled and I really, really hope you'll come hop along with us!  There's always an awesome giveaway, you'll see some AH-MAZ-ING inspiration, and well ...there's always me *cough*cough*  :) You DO want to come support me, don'tcha?  LOL! 

See ya Monday!
