Polka Dot- Birthday Card

Rose (from the previous birthday) asked me to make Deanna (another co-workers) birthday card. I wanted to make the birthday with Pink and Brown...I just needed to come up with a design. I decided on polka dots and I loved how it all came together. (even the inside)

Hammer and Nails- Birthday card

I had seen somewhere that if you hammer brads and flatted out the head, they look like nails. So I cut paper to make planks and attached 2 brads to each side and Hammered and Hammered..

My Dad's birthday card came out like this.

Flower Celebration Card

I made this card to be a Birthday card, but it didn't fit the person I made it for. So I had it sitting around not finished. WHEN....I had an idea. I liked how it came out and my parent's Anniversary was right around the corner. So I made it a "Happy Anniversary" card by stamping the inside.

Birthday Cake- Card

I had seen this card done as a Wedding Congratulations card with a Wedding cake. I wanted to try it, but I didn't know anyone getting married, so I thought...Birthday Card. My Aunt in-law Sharla was the lucky person that received it. I thought it turned out cute.

Birthday Olivia and Michael

Birthday Cards- My niece and nephew are both July birthdays. I can not believe they are already 15 and 17 years old. They are growing up so fast. I had the perfect stamps for them.

Olivia- My niece is now 15. I remember that is was forever before she had a full head of hair and when she was 2 in her pretty dresses. She even took a season of dance classes. Now she is 15 ready to start driving and wants her very own cell phone. I loved how the stamps coordinated with her growing up.


Michael- My nephew is 17 years old. The stamps didn't quite go as well, but I wanted to still capture the growing up of Michael. The only stamp that reminded me of Michael was the little boy with his hands in his pockets. When Michael was about 2 until 4 years old, I remember if he had pockets in his shorts, pants.. his hands were in them. He was the cutest little man.

Rose's Birthday Card

July is Birthday month- I am busy making Birthday cards. I was asked to make a Birthday card for Rose, one of my co-workers. I decided to use some of my "old" teacher bulletin board letters. I traced the R and cut it out.... Then I need to find something to make the circle of the R.

Here is how it turned out~

Rose loved the card, in fact she asked me to make a couple of Birthday cards for her to give away.

"The Bob" Pedestrian Bridge

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is a 3,000 ft footbridge across the Missouri River between Council Bluffs, IA and Omaha Ne. Patrick and I managed to cross the bridge during the Taste of Omaha celebration.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th! Here were the Invitations I created this year. They were VERY easy to make. I printed them out on the computer and then cut and pasted them together. Completed it with a bow and done.

Hope your Holiday is great and safe.

Baby Shower Gift and card

Last month I created a 8 x 8 album for my cousin in law that is having a boy this month. I liked the way it came out. I also liked the gift bag and matching card.
