s u c k e r

a little pre valentine's post of some projects. these were meant to have been in the mail but i still have them in my posession. they are addressed & ready to go but..........i was waiting for brandon to write his name in them.
his school valentine's which i made (another post, another time) were passed out to his friends today at his "loved ones" party. the catch on those were each child had to write his own name on them. ALL THIRTY THREE!!! took a time span of 3 days for brandon. a combination of him getting bored, the writing getting messier on each one and ADHD-ness. i'm glad they make the kiddos write their own valentine's. makes it more special.
so if you want, just go ahead and pick the one you like and consider it an e-bloggy vitual card from us!
these were fast and easy to make. cut out card, cut out background paper, cut out strips of paper & punch w/ a border punch, and the fun part--select the chipboard die cuts (from K&Company). easy peasy. a card for a friend. i know she got it already so i am posting it. recycled a coffee cup sleeve by stamping the 'friend to friend' sentiment on it.
card for a baby shower that we went to last weekend. side note: bryan threw up after jumping in the bounce house for a few minutes. luckliy, it was NOT in the bounce house. we decided we may have worn out our welcome after the barfing incident so we left. we heard that bryan started a chain reaction cause 2 other kids threw up--IN the bounce house!for brandon's teacher this year. he picked out a cheesy box of chocolates at the store for her. he couldn't wait to give it to her! so sweet!

hello cupcake

hello! i am back with some more cupcake cards! so craving some chocolate marshmallow ones from sprinkles!!

the tops are cut opened just for a little variety. change it up a lil', KWIM??!! inside says 'hello cupcake'. can be used for valentines or just a friendly friend card.

this is a new hero arts cupcake stamp. i love the size of it! thanks to my friend, leesa, for sending it to me all the way from GA!when my mom was here over the christmas holiday, i asked her to rethread my sewing machine. it was sewing fine on top but the bottom stitching was ugly---obviously, it was threaded wrong by me not knowing how to follow the diagram directions. i would also be the same person who does not know how to read a map. anyways, my mom threaded it correctly for me and here is my 1st card using it. my mom asked me what i was going to sew and i told her cards and she just laughed.
can any paper-sewers give me tips on how to finish off the thread?? i DID mean for the stitching to be crooked but not for them to be sticking out.
BTW, potty training with bryan is going extremely well. we will definitely make the he-WILL-be-potty trained-by-his-3rd birthday deadline! [and yes, bryan is holding a motorola phone. my kiddos gets to play w/ all our old cell phones]
