Halloween and Thanksgiving Cards {MCM #105 & #106}

Oh my goodness it has been a while! I haven't been doing very much crafting lately, hence my huge lack of blogging. I am expecting and while I haven't necessarily been sick, I just don't have the energy I wish I did! We were very busy this summer and I think I only made two cards the whole summer! I have made a few more cards since then and I will post most of them soon, but I haven't done anymore layouts yet.

On to the cards! My friend had a crop group at her house last night and invited me. I was only able to stop by for a few hours but I got 3 cards made! It was a lot of fun!

And here is my card.

And here is one more card I made without a sketch. I have really been wanting to try to wet emboss on a transparency, so this was my chance! It worked really well!

It's good to be back! I will be posting more projects soon, so stay tuned! :)

Happy Mother's Day {MCM #86}

One of my Mother's Day cards from a previous post did not make it safely to it's destination, so I needed to make another one.
I used Kristy Lee's sketch for MCM #86 for Scrapbook Steals

Here's my card.

I didn't realize how much I strayed from the sketch until I look at these photos side by side! I will be going back and using this sketch again, I like it a lot!

Bundle of Cards {MCM #86}

I volunteered to make a bundle of cards for a church auction. Since they are pre-made, I just decided to do a good mix of occasions that everyone needs cards for.
I also made a matching envelope for each card.

I hope someone is able to use them all! :)

MCM #84

Here is my card.

I've been trying to find new ways to add twine to my projects. I love using it, but was getting tired of doing the same thing every time :)

Simple Washi Tape Card

I found this card by Lisa Johnson via Pinterest (go check out both of those blogs, they look awesome!)

I was in need of a quick birthday card design and was drawing a blank. I looked through my Pinterest "Cards" board and decided to make the above mentioned card, but with washi tape.

I cut a frame shape with my Silhouette machine, added a stamp, and a dot border with a yellow marker. Then I tied some twine, rounded two of the corners, set three eyelets and I was done. Super quick and simple!

MCM # 82

It's an anniversary card for my husband, so I had to make it a little more masculine ;)

MCM #80

Here is one of my favourite card sketches of all time, by Kristy Lee for Scrapbook Steals.

Happy Valentine's Day! I wanted to share all the cards I have made for today for my own family and a few others. Enjoy!

And here is my take on the sketch.

MCM #71 was to create a Valentine, so I think I have that covered :)

Birthday Cards! (MCM 63 & 67)

I have been really bad at making and getting cards to people for their birthdays lately. I am going to try to be better this year, and here is my first batch of cards for some of the birthdays in January (this is a crazy birthday month, it seems!)

Here are three more cards that I made for this month. (No sketches for these ones)

 This last card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.
