Gift Bag

Here is a cute idea that I found and had to try. They were so easy and fun I had to make some just to have around to give as little gift when needed.

Dad's Surprise Party

Here is a picture of the invitations that I made for my dad's 60th surprise birthday party. He loves Elvis Presley. So on the front of the card are some Elvis blue suede shoes. The note on the inside of the card said. "Slip on your blue suede shoe and dance on down to Ralph's 60th surprise party.

Valentines

Here are the Valentine that the kids and I made to pass out this year. We had a great time making these. The first picture is the ones that we made with treat cups and a bookmark inside. So when you slide out the bookmark, you get the candy. The second picture was made using the heart treat cups with a popsicle stick so it looks like a sucker.

Owl Card

Here is a really cute card. This is one from a stamp club that I missed. The hostess still make them and send them to me. I can't wait to make my own like this. I think the owl is just adorable. He is made from the stampin up punch.

February Stamp Club

Here are the things that we made in stamp club this month. These were a blast to make. I love making valentine things. The first one though not a Valentine is also a great idea. It is a calendar with a magnet on the back. The second and thiord one is a box that we put together that was cut from the Stampin Up bigshot, and then a mini card to put inside with some candies. The forth one was just a cute cupcake card.

Miscellaneous Cards

Here a re couple cards that I made. These 2 were a lot of fun to make.

Stamp Club

I have not had much to show you from stamp club lately. I have been taking my daughter with me and I have been letting her make the cards. Here are the ones that I did in November and a tag that I made.

Happy New Year!!!

Now that the holidays are over and the decorations and the tree are finally put away, we can start on the new year.
I am hoping that I will have more time to blog and craft. I do know that I will be making wedding invitations real soon, so they are going to keep me pretty busy for a while.
I hope everyone has a great 2011. I know I am hoping to!

Christmas Cards 2010

Every year I make my own Christmas cards. Here is the one that I just made. I had a great time making this one. It was a lot of fun.

Cheer is over...for a while

So for the 30 girls on the squad the coach wanted to give the girls something special besides their trophy's. She saw my paper bag albums on my website and thought those would be cool. So I made one for each of them and the coach filled them with photos. This project has kept me very busy right up to Thanksgiving. They turned out great. Here is what they look like.

Crazy Life!

So after a long season of cheerleading and football...We move right into the holidays. We had both Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house and I cooked both times. I love cooking holiday meals for our families.

1st Football Game

Orting Animals Black won 20-13. The girls had a great time. Amber's favorite part was when she got her picture taken with her friend, who she likes, who is the quarter back, and who made the final touchdown to win the game. Aren't they cute.

Getting ready for the first game. Amber has been practicing really hard. A couple weeks ago they stared stunting. Here are some pictures at practice.

Sugar Snap Peas
