Male Birthday Card

I was asked to make some more manly birthday cards. I am really good at female cards but when it comes to male cards that is another story.

 So for a male card I try to keep it simple. I used some DCWV paper and a new stamp set I just bought.

This stamp set is My Sentiments Exactly Birthday Innies & Outies. I am loving it. I really like to have different sayings for the insides of my cards.

TSB V day Cuteness

 I went a little crazy with making the Valentine's day cards this year. I got on a roll and ten cards later I made myself stop. I could have made a dozen more. I actually have a few more images colored and ready to go.

 This super cute image is Audrey and AJ on the Bench. I just got this image and I love it. My coloring came out really well also, which is awesome considering I am a bit out of practice. I used Copic Markers

 The sentiment on the front and the purple inside is a Sweet N Sassy love sentiment set. The Happy V Day is a dollar stamp from Michael's.

Mason Jar Laterns

I was trying to come up with something new to make for Christmas gifts this year, which is a challenge because I make a lot of Christmas gifts. I came across a post on these mason jar lanterns in a FB group and loved them. So I busted out my floor wax and glitter and went to town. It is the same technique as the glitter xmas ornaments I made.

 I made the saying myself in design studio for this one and the apple is a Silhouette file.

 These cut files came from the silhouette store. I added little battery operated tea light candles that have a timer so you don't have to keep getting in the jar. They are self timing tea lights you can find on Amazon.

I found these cute little plastic bags at Michaels on sale for 50 cents and grabbed a bunch not knowing what I would use them for. They were perfect for that little something extra to go with these lantern gifts.

I added the girls names with vinyl on the front and put the lanterns in them. 

I know I haven't been as active on my blog this last year with having my baby girl but it makes me sad to see my followers leaving. I have lost 5 in the last month and it makes me super sad. I hope to have the rest of you stick around and enjoy looking at my crafts. You mean a lot to me :)

Onesie Giraffe

Its been awhile since I posted anything on my blog. I have been crafting at least a lot of Christmas presents I made but haven't had a lot of energy/time to turn on my computer and type up a post. My baby is 7 months old and still not sleeping through the night so I am a tired momma.

 I made this cute onesie with some dark pink litter HTV. My cousin really liked it for her little girl.I have a million ideas in my head for all the others I want to make now I just need another me to do it.

Love this little girl. She and my baby have so much fun together already.

Though I do miss my crafty time and bloggin time, I would not trade in this time with my baby girl for anything. I will be back to crafting crazy soon enough.
