Getting creative!

Hey, everyone!

I hope you all have had a chance to get creative today! My daughter and I have been hanging out today. She isn't feeling well, Javan's mamaw took him for a while and I've been cleaning!! (LOL)

I have had some time to work on a couple things here and there. I can't just sit and play like I'd like, but it's been fun to do a little at a time when I can. I thought I'd share some of our "creations" with you today.

This first photo is all the fun things Kadesia created at the book fair they had at school. I volunteered at the bookmark table and I am not even sure where that cute little gecko she decorated got off to! (LOL) She's quite the little artist!!
She drew two beautiful pictures while she was laying around. She still doesn't feel well. Poor baby! Don't you love my red hair? I do!!!
I cherish this cute little love note!
My baby girl said that since she made me something special, she wanted me to make her a special card. Who could resist a request like that? I know how much she loves butterflies, and since I was eager to play with my new Butterfly Swirls stamp set, I was happy to make this little card out of scrap cardstock, a ribbon I had in my box and these beautiful stamps! I used the Relax sentiment from the Basic Birds (T-2636) stamp set! The Get Well Soon stamp is just something I picked up at a store sometime ago.
She loved her card, especially with the butterflies on it! She could read the whole thing to me. I am so proud of her!!
This is the project I worked on a little at a time today. It was so fun and easy! I saw the video tutorial here and had to make one! I had some paper sacks leftover from when I sold Avon forever ago, and used that for the insert. How fun!! With this card, I used the Begin Blooming stamp from the My Journey (T-2617) stamp set, found in the spring/summer 2008 catalog. I colored it in with my Tombow markers. To add a little shimmer, I decorated it with Stickles. I think this will be a fun card for a birthday, or graduation, even bridal shower because of the sentiment, and it kind of is like a celebration type card. The fun part is slipping the gift card or money inside and it watching their surprise when they open the card!

Thanks for checking back today! I hope you were inspired to get creative!! If you want me to help you make this card or other projects you see here, give me a call!

Happy Paper Crafting,
