Some recent cards

I haven't been super crafty lately. I have forced myself to make a few things though 

Birthday card quickie

I am so happy to present the birthday card quickie! This little number just came to me so easily. I am in love with this masculine card.

The perfect card for husband

Well, it's finally done.... I was so busy with my g45 audition I almost forgot to start my husband's birthday card.  Oh i used #bazzil cardstock and lots and lots of #g45 paper to achieve this look.  Without further a do. ...

Le Cirque pop out box card

This little bugger was so much fun! I just love how the G45 papers look with one another. They are also awesome to use for fussy cutting. I paired this paper collection with distress inks from Tim Holtz. 

                                                                                         

Here is a real beauty, I made this for my Aunt, it will be her birthday card this year. I am so in love with the G45 stamps used here. I, as always, used my favorite Tim Holtz distress inks to antique this card. I also added some crackle paint to add to the shabby look of this card. I know that she will love it as much as I loved making it.

Here is another birthday card, I think I know who will be getting this girly card. My goal for this piece was "pretty layers"

  Can you see a common theme here? he he, My goal here was masculine and clean lines. This is pretty simple, it was hard for me to just stop and leave it. I want to give this to a male family member, so i refrained from adding flowers or lace. :)

I am as proud as a peacock! Is it wrong to be absolutely in love with your own project? lol, I just love the heck out of this! I squirreled and saved little items from around the scrap room and nooks and crannies until I had all of the things I loved................... and this happened. 

I have finally finished the bill organizer for my desk! Thanks G45 for the incentive. I am in love with this handy little fella. Each page is special and unique. It adds some beauty to the mundane.

Next are a few of my favorite page layouts...........

If you are still reading, I am sending you a big huge bear hug! Thanks a million for taking the time to check out my creations. Best of luck to all of the fellow G45'ers trying out for the 2014 design team.
