Cocktails, mothers and pink lanterns...

Ok. So this is kind of a mash up of 3 months worth of card-club cards.
Long story short...been super busy, so here are my April, May and June cards I made for my card club.
April had to be funny, May had to have flowers and June had to be pink.
Enjoy!

It's a quicky tonight, as I'm mad tired. Enjoy the cards and I hope to get more crafty coming soon.
Nighty night!

The Cupcake Parade

So here are the cards I made for my card club. February's theme is 'Birthday'...I got to choose the theme, and since February is my birthday month, I thought a birthday theme would be appropriate.
Anyways, I went with a slightly different card for each person, so here they all all! I decided to try out my newest stamp set I got from Xmas, Papertrey Ink's ticket stamp set. I decided to do the last one (which I kept for myself, for a belated birthday...since I got tired of stamping and cutting out all the tickets!...lol). Which one is your fav?
Enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Placecards and Picture cards

So I've been slacking in the craft department lately. I know, life happens...but that is no excuse. Anyways, this year for Thanksgiving we are going to have my parents come to visit us, and since my in-laws can't make it down, its just the 4 of us for the big turkey day.
I decided to make new placecards using this adorable placecard set from Papertrey Ink (my mom got it for me as a early Thanksgiving present, along with some other equally nifty and cute Thanksgiving decor).
Anyways, here are the placecards. Once again, I apologize for the bad quality- still using the camera on my phone while I try to frankenstein my camera back to life. BLah!

Simple I know, and I tried to go all Kristina Werner on ya'll, but alas, my faux stitching looks just that. FAKE. I blame me not having a steady hand. Eh...they'll do.
I also started working on my November cards for my card club, which I have been struggling with. This month's theme is a christmas card with your picture and non-traditional Christmas colors.
Well here is my demo of the card (I plan to make the actual cards much more blue colors, but I thought I'd use up some scraps to test the design out with the plastic).
I think it will work, so I just gotta get the vellum or plastic and the photos developed and I"m set.
Anyways, I"ll post the final product later once I get all the proper stuff together, but imagine if you will that this card is lots of blues and snowflakes, and a lot cleaner lines. lol

 

And if you where wondering, yes that's me. That was taken during our "Snow-pocalypse" last winter. lol

Have a great day all and enjoy the weekend!

Pumpkin Party

So here is the card I made for my Sept. Card club card. Theme was: Fall/Halloween card that has orange on it, and some sort of food.

(pumpkin party!)

Pumpkin is food for many, so I thought this would work. I decided I wanted to try a very low amount of layers and use some kraft stock for a more autumn look. I also added some faux stitching and white gel pen accents to it, a la. KWerner style. hehe
I think they turned out cute.
Stay tuned for some more fall cards coming your way later this week. I am starting to get in the fall spirit, so I am in love with Fall items. Have you all started working on fall cards or have you skipped right to Christmas cards? Just wondering what everyone is up to, now that most people's kids are off to school (my hubs started his classes today...hehe).
Later.

Love for my card love...

Sorry my blogging buddies...the start of the new year basically threw me for a loop. I've been trying to deal with a new work schedule, a hubby that has been super sick, both of us having major dental work done, and all in all...lots of stuff happening. I know I know...that is no excuse. But sometimes life just gets in the way of your creativity.
Anyways, with the new year, started new adventures in papercrafting. I officially opened my new digital image store this month and am working to improve and expand it. Frenzified.com is alive and kicking and I hope to get my kick of the advertising as I progress with the store. I'm currently working on new sets, more gallery pics, and new items besides digital images...I hope to make .svg files that you can use with the SureCutsALot software and your Cricut, but I have to try it out for myself, that they work. :)
Also, I got involved in a card club at the start of the new year with 10 other ladies online. A bunch of us ladies who do a lot of online swaps through Splitcoast stampers got together to do a monthly card swap amongst ourselves where we know none of us will flake on each other. Its started out great thus far and I am excited to continue on the rest of the year. Below is the first card I made for the card club. This month's theme is valentine's day; red and pink; and lots of bling.
I used a Brentwood Owl stamp by Jessica Lynn Originals, and her Owl sentiment too. I was so happy I finally got to use this stamp. I got it a while back, and I've been waiting to use it for the right card idea, and here it is. :)

(and this is my messy table after crafting. hehe)

(Sparkles baby!)

("Owl do I love the...") 

(mass production of cards...which I hate doing, but it isn't too bad once you get the overall idea and get in the groove of making them...hehe.)

I'll be posting a few more Valentine's day cards I made for some family members of mine tomorrow. Well, technically I'm posting them today, but what would the fun be if you saw them all in one day.hehe
Anyways, have a great day!
Hugs my blogging buddies. I hope you enjoyed this card. :)
