Sunday Scrappin April 6

It's Sunday Scrappin time once again! I love this group! It's a start of a new week and new craft goals. Sunday Scrappin is a wonderful group because on Sunday (or Monday if you didn't get to it Sunday LOL) you post your Ta's Da's (goals you accomplished in the past week) and you list your Ta Do's (goals for this week) and it helps to keep you focused and on track but if something comes up during the week and you didn't keep your goals there is no pressure and you don't get banned from the group. LOL! Be sure to check out Sunday Scrappin its a wonderful group.

Now on with the show. Last week I set a goal of making a card or two and I wanted to do a scrapbook card. Let's just say I made a card or two a day. I had to make 2 kids birthday cards one for a girl (that was cake being that I have a sister the same age as the girl and I'm used to making cards for girls) and a boy card (that was a task). Here are the links to my Ta Da's (sorry no scrapbook page :( but I made 9 cards

This weeks To Do's:
*I want to make a scrapbook page
*Maybe make another Mother's Day card similar to the one I made already but in a different color
*Make a thank you card for my sister who will be dog sitting next weekend while we go to CT for a weekend trip

This weeks Bonus question: What kind of projects do you do the most often?
It's that time of year where birthday's are popping up everywhere. I must say I do a lot of birthday cards and scrapbook pages. Then second to that would be scrapbooking our dog Buddy.

More Boy Cards

Here are my final attempts at making a boy birthday card. I am going to give our nephew the football card. The cowboy card is cute but a little childish, he's going to be dad and the truck one is okay but not really kiddish. The Car one is a hotwheels 3d sticker that I got at Michael's for $1.00 and the paper didn't photo well its Harley Davidson paper. The football is actually a Jolee sticker. Phew I'm glad this task is finally over. LOL!

Totally Cool Birthday

It is the month's of birthdays. I have 3 birthdays to make cards for this month. It's that time of year where the birthdays come one after another. Here is a birthday card that I made for a 10 year old girl (no Kay this isn't for you your not going to be 10 LOL). It was hard because I don't know the girl. My BIL said she is a girly girl so I thought this would be a perfect card for her and her favorite color is green.

Card Recipe:

Paper: Pattern Paper from Stash, SU Bravo Burgundy (retired)

Stamps: SU Totally Cool (retired), SU Little Birthday Cheer

Accessories: Flower and brad from target $1 spot

Tool Box for Father REDO

I was not pleased at all with the first card that I made. This is the type of stamp that is gorgeous has is and doesn't need all the pattern paper and bling. I kept thinking no way can I give that card to my father. So I have been doing nothing but thinking about this card...well okay I have been thinking of a card idea for a 10 year old boy also. I am pleased with the way this card came out, this one is a keeper.



Card Recipe:
Paper is from Colorbok Jewel Paper Pack
Stamps: SU For Father and SU Warmest Regards (no longer available - was a hostess set in 2006)

Tool Box for Father
