A Couple of "Just Because" Cards

These are two cards that I created a couple weeks ago ~ they are going in my "just because" bin of cards that I can pull out to send a little note along to someone special =)

~*~ Deets ~*~
Stamp: Coffee Kiki

~*~ DEETS ~*~
Stamp: Dryabella


Sorry for the lack of details ~ for some reason I never wrote down what I used. Also, I had to scan the cards (as my camera battery is dead and the charger has been MIA since Christmas ~ YIKES!) and I'm not real wild about scanned cards ~ I think the camera does a better job =)

Sketch For You To Try

Over at SFYTT they have the January sketch posted.
I decided to ink up a new stamp ~ well, sadly enough I've had her for awhile, but this is the first time she has gotten some inky love!

Isn't she cute? I can relate to her, as I feel like all I do is laundry....it is amazing the amount of laundry three little boys can make!
I paper pieced her hair band and a couple pieces of laundry.

~*~ DEETS ~*~

Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!

Yes, it is that time again ~ the 25th of the month, which means it is time for the Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!
If you arrived here from the talented blog of Lauren, you are on the right track! If you just happened upon my blog, you are going to want to start at the beginning, so you don't miss a single one of these lovely cards! And if for some chance you become lost along the blog, you can always head to the main blog which will have ALL the addresses of the participants =)
Now, onto my first Christmas card of the year (yes, it does seem a little crazy to be making Christmas cards when Christmas was *just* a month ago...but in the long run, it will make my life sooooo much easier when December rolls around again).

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes today is my birthday...but it isn't just ANY birthday, it is my 29th birthday (really it is!) ~ next year will be the "decade" year for me ~ I'll celebrate my 30th birthday, celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary and become the mother of a 10 year old son! Oh boy!
But how I decided to celebrate my birthday was by creating a card! I haven't had much free time as of late since I'm back in college and I watch a couple extra kids (for a friend) in the mornings, but today at naptime, I decided it was ME time!
I decided to use the sketch from Mojo (love it!) and make it really sparkly and bright (I love sparkles and bright colors!) ~ and I paper pieced the cherry and cupcake paper.
So without further ado, here is my latest and FIRST creation of the year!
