Charlotte's 1st Birthday!

I'm back again...thoroughly enjoying my Christmas Break because I've gotten to do a lot of scrapbooking/card making, posting on my blog, reading, and relaxing.  I'm extremely sad that it has to come to an end in a day and a half.

Anyways, my niece, Charlotte, turns 1 on January 8th and her party is TODAY (in Massachusetts). Wish we lived closer!

Inspiration for this card came from The Paper Craft Crew #74.

Framelits & Punches:   Deco Labels framelits, petite punch (can't remember the name), & one of my Cricut cartridges to make the "1st"

Embellishments:  gray buttons, rhinestones, and stampin' dimensionals

MDS Thank You Card

I wanted to make a cute card to mail to my students thanking them for their generous Christmas gifts.  Since I needed to make 18 cards, I decided to use Freshly Made Sketches #117 and my Stampin Up MDS software to create a digitally made postcard.  I then uploaded the front and back to Staples.com as a postcard and picked my order up the next day.  They turned out to be super cute!!!

Niece's Ornaments 2013

I was certainly busy crafting the past few weeks!

I started an annual tradition with my first niece who is now three and began the same tradition with my second niece (this is her first Christmas).  I will scrapbook them an ornament until they are 18.  I even made a keepsake box to store them in.  Here are my niece's ornaments off the tree and on
