Lots of celebrations

Happy Monday! It's been awhile since I've posted anything. It's been a very busy June! Today I'm sharing a few things I was busy doing. I hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July!

My daughter made this birthday bucket

for my son's 40th birthday. 

I gave my son 40 gifts for his 40th birthday.

I die cut numbers and circles and added them 

to boxes, bags and the gifts. It was so much

fun for him to open each gift. 

This is my famous picture frame I change for each occasion.

 I decorated it for my niece's high school graduation

 party. She took lots of pictures with it. She loved

it so much she took it home with her....LOL

My other niece lives in AZ. She is having

a baby so I volunteered my house for her

baby shower. Her baby theme is butterflies

with pinks and purples. She is having a girl 

I decided I wanted butterflies hanging from

the ceiling as decorations. 

The shower was a drive by because at the

time the invites went out we were still under

a covid-19 restriction. It was lifted by the time

we had the shower but we just decided to leave

it as a drive by. We invited grandmas and aunts

 inside the house for a light lunch. 

My niece and her boyfriend.

We ordered edible butterflies to add to the cake. 

Thank goodness for my neighbor Heather. 

She helped me cut out lots and lots of

butterflies for all the decertations. 

Thank you Heather!!!

My sister saw this cool idea to use plastic

table cloths to make streamers. I bought

table cloths at the dollar store. You leave the 

table cloths folded as they are and cut them

into strips. you then unfold the strips and tie

them onto the string. This is great for a photo

booth or background. We hung them on the 

umbrella for the drive by. 

I decorated these small bags for the 

goodie bags that were given out as 

guest drove by. 

It was nice to be together again with my family. Lots of celebrations in June including Father's day. 

I hope you have a blessed July month!! Thank you for coming back to check out what I've been up to.

 

Bear Hugs To You!

Happy Monday! Sure hope you are all doing well today! A friend of mine asked if I could make some hug cards for her to send out to family and friends. Of course I called my neighbor Heather, who has everything. I asked her to pull out anything to do with hugs. She sent over a bag of goodies for me to play with. This is the first set of cards I made. 

The bear head and body are two different

die cuts. Heather has been buying all her

die cuts directly from China. I believe 

the company name is "Wish". The are

very cheaply priced. 

The hugs are different die cuts also.

 

Sending you HUGS and good well wishes! 

Little One

Happy Monday! December is half way over already and the year is coming to an end. 2020 has been a tough year. but we were blessed with two new grandsons. We now have six grandchildren. They bring us so much love and joy. Today I'm sharing boy baby cards. 

The sweet sleeping baby is so cute. 

Do you like the white one or the

skin tone one? Both are adorable.

 These card cuttings were from Heather. Thank you Heather! 

Baby Shower

Happy Monday!! Today I'm sharing some cards and a diaper cake from my nieces baby shower. The shower theme was Peter Rabbit. It was so cute! My sister-in-law made the diaper cake. 

Do you see the carrots? She crochet them.
The cake is so adorable!

These are the two cards I made. The stamp
 set is from Close to My Heart. 

My sister-in-law made this one. It's so cute!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for all of you, Gods Blessings!

It's Turkey Week

Happy Thanksgiving Week! Wishing you and your family a Blessed Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for! I want to thank all of you for sharing your time with me. I don't sell anything and I'm far from an artist but I love to craft and it's fun to share what I make here on my blog.

Here are two more 30th Birthday cards I made. I saw a video using Tim Holtz's inks to make silver paper look like  rustic metal. Of course I only had two of Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol inks but I used other products and it came out okay.

All the tools are die cuts and distressed with
ink. These were fun to make. 

Using the the inks I sprayed and dropped
ink on the paper after cutting it up in small
pieces. I then glued it to the base of the card.

I added nail braids and hinges,

Enjoy your Thanksgiving. God Bless

Safari Themed Baby Shower

 Happy Monday! I thought since I am on a Baby roll (laughing) I would share the diaper cake I made for my Son & Daughter-in-law's shower, 6 months ago....I never got around to posting it. My grandson is now 4 months old already. They grow so fast.

I purchased the little animals at
Tuesday Morning. They have
great prices. 

We added some Jungle palm leaves.

This was the set up for games and gifts.

Here is the cake with my daughter-in-law's and son's picture.
So adorable

Have a wonderful week!

Baby Love

Happy Thursday. I am not sure if I every posted this card. I had it in my pending file. Heather, my neighbor and I make these cute baby cards.

I love this saying. 

Have a great weekend!

Fall Baby Shower

Happy Monday! Is it Fall yet or still summer? The weather in Albuquerque has been so beautiful and warm. My trees are not sure if they should be changing colors or stay green....LOL Today I'm sharing some items I made for my sisters baby shower. She wanted couples "Fall" shower in her back yard. We had the shower the first week of  October with 85 guest. We were so busy making food, decorating, entertaining that I didn't take any pictures of the actual shower.  Boo Hoo.(sad face)

I took Mason jars and wrapped burlap
around them. Added dried raffia and flowers.
Fall flowers were added to these jars for the tables.
 

These mason jars were the lighting for
the tables. I added pop corn inside and put
battery operated lighting. 

Jovonna didn't want any of the (old fashion) games
you play at a baby shower. So we did the "Write
a Message on the Diaper" I found this saying on
Pinterest and thought is was cute. 

These are the props for the Baby Photo booth. I order
some of these on line and others I made.  

I decorated these baskets with a scarecrow family.
We added snack foods for the guest. 

This cake was for Jovonna.

This cake was for Mike.

My Dad carved these pumpkins. The baby pumpkins
says "baby noodles". That's the nickname for the baby. 

This is the photo booth. I made the "Baby Love"
banner and added the burlap  on top of white curtains.

Since it was outside and we were not sure if it was
going to rain we added a cover over the booth.

Snacks and drinks

Hope you have a super great day. Thanks for letting me share.
