Mini Mini Cards!!

I got a bit excited about making cards so I decided to make a few sets for my etsy shop. Enjoy!!

Quick Card 5!

This is my sister's birthday card which is coming up very shortly! I just love the movie "UP" and she wanted a gift card from Target and I thought this was perfect for that theme. Plus I love clouds!

I used Recollections printed paper. A die cut from Cricut. Word stamp from Papertrey Ink and cut out the house from Pink Paislee Hometown Summer cardstock. It was the best looking house image that I had.
Enjoy!

The new larger SMASH! portfolios from K&Co.

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog. I have swamped with school work and work too. The only thing keeping me sane is 1. partial my kids, they can contribute to my insanity but mainly 2. crafting. I try to craft at least once a week or in between down time so I don't feel so overwhelmed. It's defintely a stress reliever for me.
But on to the new awesome smash books! I picked this one at the Michael's. They are much larger than their regular smash books but less pages which was my main con for purchasing this particular one. With just 2 choices of colors, I opted the red version because between purple and red, I like red better. I love that they added envelopes and folders in between some of the pages.
I originally had the pink smash book (pretty style) but I was really into it. I really just smashed stuff in it without thinking and I didn't really enjoy that. I didn't want it to look like my junk drawer just taped and glued in a book.
At least these larger smash book reminds me of regular scrapbooking which I will continue to do from time to time to finish up my past photos.
This smash book will mainly be my 2012.
Here's my cover:

I used Echo Park and Authentique and Recollections for this.
Here's my first page:

Still working on this page. Since this is the title page, I am gonna add more as months go by.
Here's my first page done! I got to start it on my birthday. Hehehe....this book was more of my birthday gift to me. yay.

I used My minds eye, on the bright side collection. Which I am loving by the way!! Beautiful wood photos, pretty chevron colors. It's beautiful!! Used the april card from jillibean soup: southern chicken dumpling soup. American crafts and recollections ribbon. twine. thickers foam stickers for my title.
And the awesome Polaroid 300 camera I got my birthday!

Hello again,

been super busy lately but was able to squeeze in some new items for my etsy shop. My items before use to be geared towards weddings/headgear/accessories so now, I'm heading toward paper goods.

I can still make those items but my main love is paper crafting so I'll stick to this for now.

Quick Card 4!

Sorry I haven't been on here in abit, been studying real hard for school and even unplugged my Cricut (eeek!!) just so I can make sure I stay focused. It's quite tempting to see all my craft supplies and I always need to make something but at least I got to squeeze in this one card for Paper Smooches sparks challenge!
Here is the challenge taken from Pinterest (I am addicted!)

Here is my card! I just love owls!! I didn't have a "love you" and not too sure if they make one so I decided to stamp the two words together using their "Pretty Phrases".

I also used a Wilton red paper heart doily, Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder, twine, blue brads, spellbinder lacey circle, red and black inks. Oh, and copic markers: E02, E21, E33, E15, E25, B0000, B000, B00. Prisma markers: canary yellow and yellow orange.
