Birthday Cards Share

As you know, I always make cards from my leftover scraps of other projects.  These are square, to fit in CD envelopes.  I'm a huge proponent of reusing & recycling, so it's just one more way I can try to lessen my impact.

These are super-cute, and super simple.  I love the clear sticker paper (it is more clear in real life) and makes for super-simple sentiments.  Also did quite a bit of paint stamping and it is always fun to get messy.

Cardstock is Bazzill, paper is KI Memories, letter stickers are from Doodlebug & I used various punches, paint & stamps.

Enjoy!  

Cards, Cards & more Cards!

I’ve been working on ways to streamline my process and get to where I am actually doing less but sharing more.  Sometimes it involves tough choices of maybe just not sharing everywhere, and sometimes it’s about using technology to work for you instead of against you.  My twitter connection is still all dorked up, but luckily my posterous is working great!  So enough of all of that boring stuff, here are some of the cards I’ve been working on & that have been accumulating in my “need to share” list…..

All cards have the following supplies: Bazzill Basics Cardstock (various texture/color) and My Mind’s Eye patterned paper.  The products that vary are listed after the card.


GenX alphabet stickers.  I LOVE the fact that they are BIG!

Cherish Card

I made this card awhile ago, but I'm slow getting stuff put up, I know.  Trying to be more regular.  I'm all about babysteps.  I am much better at actually proofing photos every week, uploading pictures for submission, and working on product.  I want to get better at: scrapping each week, sharing what I create, and submitting for publication.... Wish me luck!

This one is very simple, Bazzill Basics cardstock, Prima flower, Bazzill Basics Chip Topper and some DCWV patterned paper.  Perfect for a wedding, anniversary or just because I love you card....

Thanks for looking - Elle

New/Old Project Posted

This is a mini book I did for Ben's Kindergarten teacher (he's in 3rd grade now...).  Thought you might get some inspiration.  I ADORE minis!

You can find at Scrapbook.com  or Creating Keepsakes or 2Peas depending on which site you like....
Thanks!
