Simple Baby Card

I got some cute little animal stamps from a friend yesterday and couldn't resist playing with them last night!
I made a simple baby girl card for a friend.

I used my i-rock to add eyes for the animals, and I think the twine adds a fun pop!

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.

Here is the sketch for MCM #86 by Krity Lee for Scrapbook Steals.

 And here is my card.

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

Clean & Simple Card

Opal #2 - Luau!

Here is the sketch for Opal #2

 And here is my page.

The smaller pink flowers are off the lei I'm wearing in the pictures. K broke it and I thought all the little flowers would be fun to use for crafts!

Baby

Here is a layout I have been slowly working on for almost a week now.

My parents brought the picture of my grandma and I to the hospital the day after I had K to show us just how much she looked like I did as a baby. The resemblance is crazy! :)
There was no sketch for this page, but the strips on the bottom were inspired by a layout done by my friend Brenda Smith, you can see her blog HERE.

The Details

Here is a page I did with some of the pictures of the "details" of our wedding.

No sketch for this one. The background has some faint glimmer misting on it (the picture shows it more than you can see it in real life) The silver flourishes are stamped and embossed, and the small "pearls" are imaginisce hot rocks.

Thanks for the inspiration, Chloe & Kristy!

MWM #50

Here is the sketch for #50

And here is my page.

I decided there needs to be a little more than just K in our album, so I may start doing some photos of just the two of us more often!

MWM #2

I've been trying to get as many of the older MWMs caught up as I can! I've got a lot left to do!
Here is the sketch for #2

And here is my page. I combined the two pages of the sketch into one to make it work for these pictures.

MWM #43

Here is the sketch for MWM #43

And here is my page. I struggled a lot with this page (for 3 days!) but I do like the way it turned out.

Thanks for another great sketch, Kristy!
And thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions to help me finish the page!

MWM #27

I am not going in order with the MWMs for now, just because I am so new to this. I am picking the ones that I think I can do, and do a good job of! I want to start doing them in order, and hopefully that isn't too far off!
Here's the sketch

And here is my page

It's hard to tell from this picture, but the swirls are kraft paper that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist to give them some shimmer. And the photo on the page really is good quality, I just couldn't get a good picture of it on this rainy day!
