I am in a card state of mind...

at least for today and my never ending quest to use up my scraps...
so today I made 4 cards...crazy right? the first 3 using up scraps from my Studio Calico Block Party kit and a 4th using up some BG fact/fiction.

happy.happy...I used a tutorial from Gillian on the Studio Calico blog to create these awesome stars...glad that most of my birthday cards are used at work and I can hand deliver them!

the second two are hi cards that are pretty flat so I can send them in the mail...
this one uses a printable from SC and a fabric circle from BG fact/fiction.

and this one uses another printable and some orange twine from The Twinery.

the last card uses BC fact/fiction and I was inspired by the Sunday sketch on the SC blog

I think I might go work on a layout now...thanks for stopping by:)

It's been a busy week...

but I did find time to finish up the little mini albums I made as thank you gifts for the girls that came to mag's birthday party...

and some matching thank you cards using last week's Sunday sketch from Studio Calico

and another thank you card for my mom using this week's Studio Calico Sunday sketch...

love that AT paper to bits and now I have used it all up...thanks for stopping by and have a great week:)

Happy Birthday to me!

I have had a lovely day spent with family celebrating my way too old birthday.  I also spent a significant amount of time with my scrap goodies this weekend!

I made a LO with a picture from thanksgiving using my SC kit and some BG fiction...also added some SC Memoir in to match the moment color on the tag.

and I cut family out of AC POW paper using my Silhouette.

I also made a card for the LOAW #4 (layout a week) challenge in the challenge forum at SC...
I lifted a LO by the ever so talented neroliskye ...and I used up the scraps from my last couple of LOs!

Hope you have a wonderful week:)

Inspired Blueprints #81

Inspired Blueprints is back! And I am excited that I was able to play for the first round.
Here is my LO...

I used my January Studio Calico kit plus some BG Fact or Fiction (love that flair button) and a blue sheet of Crate Paper paper from the Story Teller line to scrap these cute pics taken during mags' birthday party.
