Sharing some Creations!

Where did the time go? It just seems like yesterday that my boys were starting elementary and now it is already spring and my baby's first year of college is almost over. I miss all the commotion of boys in my house and when I get my pictures out to scrapbook, I tend to just reminisce. No more, my goal is to get some pages done! How about you? In the meantime, I thought I would share some of the crafts I've been doing since the last time I posted which was far too long ago. This is a scrapbook layout I did using the Chalk It Up paper from Close to my Heart. I really love this paper!

I'll try to take a better picture with photos on it and post later. Next are a couple more cards I made with the Chalk It Up.

These were made using the What A Hoot stamp set. It was a past stamp of the month but if you like it, I might be able to find one for you. These are a few cards I made for a wedding. I was inspired by some cards I had pinned on Pinterest. (LOVE PINTEREST!) I embossed with my Sizzix on a couple and I just love the look! The yellow card is made using the Brushed paper packet from CTMH. I love this paper pack and will be posting more projects using this paper soon. Especially since it goes so well with springtime!

OK, this next card was thrown together using some scraps from the Seaside paper packet (X7192B) I was making it with Valentines in mind so I added a little pink with the Glacier colored paper and thought it looked cute until a friend of mine said it reminded her of the 80's and her first marriage so she didn't like it. Ha ha ha, it does remind me of the pink and blue kitchen I used to have. Being such a sweet friend, I'm going to send it to her!! She'll think its funny!

Now speaking of Valentines, I helped another friend make some decorations for her family Valentine dinner. We decorated 12x12 burlap canvases and made the banner. Here's what we made:

Here is how she decorated her dining room. She is sooo talented at decorating! I have helped her with a few wedding and showers and all of them have been beautiful!
