Wesley's First Birthday



I made these car and truck-themed invites and thank-yous for nephew Wesley's first birthday party. I gave my circle punches a workout!

Introducing Romy!




Erin and Marc welcomed baby Romy on January 3. Her very happy nursery is decorated in chocolate and hot pink. So when I saw these papers from the Romance line by American Crafts, I just had to use them for her announcements. I used Paper Source petal cards and square envelopes, and their envelope liner templates to line the envelopes with the striped paper (Tainted Love.) The Martha Stewart circle cutter made cutting the patterned paper (Summer Love) for the card fronts a cinch!



Pirate Party


Tyler's second birthday party was today. I had a lot of fun making these invitations, complete with treasure map and skull-and-crossbones sealing wax.

Crafts and Cupcakes








Today I hosted several friends for a Cupcakes and Crafts party. Our first project was a mini-album created from CD folders. This was Jocelyn's gorgeous creation.



We also watercolored these one-sheet boxes, and filled them with spiced pecans.
And finally we used the Sizzix frame die and punches to create this photo frame ornament with a beaded hanger. Mine features my adorable neice Sara.



The girls took home their goodies in these gift bags, along with extra cupcakes to share...or not.

Halloween Goodies


Every year I look forward to making Halloween goodies. My goddaughters' new school has a no-food policy (don't get me started!) so I made these packets filled with pencils and pumpkin erasers. I used the Ghostly Greetings DP, Batty for You stamps, and circle scallop punch from Stampin Up! and orange staples from Making Memories.
