Bright Birthdays

Just a quick post, a couple cards I made up last week for friends birthdays this week! I am loving my new Spellbinders scalloped oval dies, and these cute little crocheted flowers!

Inside of the card on the right... Love this Cakeabella stamp!

Mazel Tov!

I had to go out of town today to sign a contract for my new job.. annnd conveniently, this is where our nearest Michaels is located... of course I stopped in! I picked up a couple super cute Studio G stamps!
I made a handful of these cards up quick for a swap I'm doing... Love this stamp!

You are my sunshine...

This card is for Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 36! As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew I would be using their adorable 'You are my Sunshine" stamp!

I love how bright and cheery he is.. so cute! I wish I had added some embossing to the blue background now for some texture.. next time haha!

REGISTERED NURSE!!!

I am so excited... I just found out today that I am officially a REGISTERED NURSE! Meaning I can start working ASAP! Just waiting on my job to call me and let me know when they want me to start.. I am so excited I have been waiting MONTHS for this!!!! :)

Annd.. more cards.

Ok. I am carded out. Tomorrow during my crafty time I'm going to finally start working on a mini-album of 2008 or 2009. I am sooo far behind in my scrapping.. ugh.
Anyway, some quick cards I made up this afternoon/this evening after dinner. All use scrap paper from the bottomless drawer.

These are probably my favourite from earlier this afternoon. I love the clusters of flowers!

The sentiment looks a bit blurry on this one - I stamped it twice, once in blue, once in brown to give it a bit of a shadowed effect.

Snazzy Apron Cards

Soo in all fairness, I DID tidy up my scrap area a BIT... but I got bored and just really wanted to work on something! I must say for once I am happy with a card - I love the way this turned out! I used some paper scraps I had laying around. Sentiment is Stamping Bella. I believe the paper is My Minds Eye Quite Contrary line, or something like that. I'm trying to use up a lot of scraps, I have a large drawerful to go through... my goal for the end of the year is to clear most of it out!

Had to craft another one before I went to bed last night... Love!!

Scrapkeeping...

I am being firm with myself today, and I am not allowed to scrap or make any cards until I have cleaned my scrap area to what i'd like it to be. Ugh. This wouldn't be so bad if I actually cleaned up after myself after working on a project... I've also gotten into the habit of throwing misc. stuff into these white bins I picked up to be organized more (HAH.). It shall be quite the job... blah.
