Bridal Shower Card and Matching Favor

I had the privilege of making my best friends Bridal Shower cards and favors for her bridal shower. 

I was so excited that I went all out and used sheer ribbon and bling clear rhinestones.  This was my first attempted on a tri fold card.  Tri fold is now my new favorite style of card.

When I thought of a party favor this design came to mind.  I had viewed how to make this favor on another blog awhile ago. I do not remember who's blog or what the template of this favor is called.  If you know, please leave me a comment so I can make the reference.  Thank you again for letting share.  Have a wonderful and bless day!!

He is a big boy now!!

Another one of my gifts from above is that I am so grateful for my New Big Boy!! Elijah graduated from Kindergarten on June 8th, 2011. I can not wait to see what God has in store for his life.  I am a proud momma!!

A special Gift from Above - May 28th, 2011

7 years ago, God blessed me with a special gift.  My husband.  Not only was he a blessing for me, he was a unique blessing for my oldest son.

I am so grateful and thankful for my husband.  Usually I am the one that plans everything for our family fun.  He showed me how much he loved me by planing a surprise night out on May 28, 2011.  We went to one of our favorite restaurants Red Lobster.  After dinner, the big surprise,The Lion King play at Mandalay Bay Theatre here in Las Vegas. 

Thank you God for my first ministry.  I pray to have many many more years with my best Friend!! I love you!! 

Simple, yet cute -thank you #2

Hello everyone. Thankful for another day to share, it has been awhile, life gets busy.  I learned just because you are busy does not equal productivity.  I am asking and learning to let God prune my life.  He knows what is best for me :)!!

One of the many reasons I love simple, yet cute cards is that I can make them fast :)!! 

I made this thank you card for my oldest son's birthday gifts that he had received.  He favorite color is green, so that was the inspiration for the card.  For the base of the card, I used a green moss color, that I purchased from a local company, ARC here in Las Vegas.   I also purchased the light blue card stock from ARC. The polka dot paper is made by My Minds Eye.   The ribbon was purchased at Big Lots a couple of years ago.  The flower and blue brad are from the Recollections collection at Michaels. 

Thank you again for letting me share.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!!

I have a 12 year old!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Hello Everyone.  First I want to say I am thankful that God has entrusted 3 wonderful boys in my care.  They have literally changed my life!! Being a mom is an awesome, unique rewarding job. 

Happy Mommy's Day to all of the moms and pray that you have a very special day.  

I know I will.  My oldest son Isiah's birthday is on Mother's Day this year and I have never been so excited to celebrate.  He wanted to have his birthday lunch at his favorite restaurant HOGS HEAVEN, here is Las Vegas, the best BBQ in town and have birthday fun at the Circus-Circus Adventuredome.  So of course I had to make his invites. 

I used my circut expression machine to cut the circus tent, the ticket and the words.  This was the first movable card I made.  The ticket slides in and out of the tent.  

This is the back of the ticket 

I do have to say this was a fun card to make.  Thank you for letting me share.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.  

Simple, Yet Cute!!

Good Afternoon everyone, First I want to thank God for the gift of sending Jesus Christ to die and pay for our sins.  Happy late Easter!!

Now on to the Simple, Yet Cute card.  This was a card I had made for a good friend.  She wanted thank you cards for her baby shower. 

I used a cream color for the base of the card, brown textured card stock for the background, and baby blue strip of card stock in the middle of the card.  One cream and one beige square and brown shimmer ribbon.  This card really can be made for any occasion.  Hope you enjoyed!! Thank you for letting me share and have a bless and happy day!!
