I'm Ready for Spring

Aren't you? Well it sure is feeling like spring here in Illinois. We had some of the most beautiful weather these past coupleof days. Yesterday and today it even reached the middle 70s. Well I just had to break out a spring-inspired card.
As you can see I used my favorite paper from the Stampin Up Sweet Pea pack and I used the new Sweet Pea felt flowers. Now check out the ribbon-can you believe it? It is STRAIGHT!!!! And I did mean for it go in that direction to. I was so proud of myself.

Fluffles Card

Good Tuesday to you,

Here is my first attempt at a Fluffles card. I'll admit, I had never heard of Fluffles until I received these images in one of my monthly swap kits. It's probably because I am not a cat person and if I had seen them I'm sure I would have looked right passed them. But I actually think she or he (not quite sure if Fluffles is a girl or a boy?) turned out kinda cute. I guess my Fluffles is a girl since I gave her pink whiskers-LOL.

And I just remembered...I have an old co-worker who's birthday is coming up and she absolutely loves cats. This card will be just perfect for her.

Birthday Card

Whew...these past 2 weeks have been really busy. When I got a chance to really sit in my craft room this past weekend I couldn't believe how much I missed it. This past Friday was my oldest son's birthday. Alex turned 11 years old and by Saturday afternoon I was ready to kill him. Believe me when I say "I am not ready to have a pre-teen in my household". But here is the card he received along with his PSP games. I knew I could be real simple and he wouldn't really care about a lot of layers or wording. One of the advantages of having boys.
