Happy Happy Birthday Baby

Hello Friends! Just checking in, I've been abandoning the old blog A LOT lately. Summer is here and so is crazy and less than productive days. Mostly in a good way though. Lotsa spending time with my little Chicas, beach days, summer movies and ice cream. Also though teeth cleanings, physicals and eye doctors for 3 kids. Better get them out of the way. Right now I'm dealing with a horrible summer cold. Popped ears and everything. Makes me seem crazy because I keep screaming at everyone, I can't hear myself. Lame I know.

Here is a card that I made for my very sweet twin Daughters' 17th birthday. Like, I made two of them, because like all siblings ( times a million) twins have to have everything the same. I made this card thinking that even though they are 17 they will always be my little girls. I used only one sheet of 12x12 paper from K&Company Cut and Paste stack. I love it. One piece.....yep. A hole punch for the circles on the side that are on the bottom of the 12x12, some foam dots for some dimension and Tada! Didn't use bling at all, just a little bakers twine from Martha Stewart. I think its one of those cards that don't need it.

Again because of this crazy summer cold with 105 degree weather and my ears I'm not sure if this post makes any sense at all! Lets hope so. I just wanted to share a card because I have several in the lineup that I'm excited about. So as always, thanks for visiting my little blog and until next time Amigas!

Hey Stud, it's Friends with Flair

Hello Friends, it's Friends with Flair at Unity today. Today I'm sharing a quick card for one of my Uncle's birthdays. I actually got this one in the mail on time and he should be receiving it on his birthday! A miracle for me. One of my new years resolutions is to not be so flaky with my card sending. So I am getting a running start on the new year. I hope to have another post tomorrow but who know with me. Flaky remember? It's not that I'm not excited to share my little creations with you it's just that I am a flake. Yep I said it. The first step is to admit I have a problem right?

This stamp is a Unity Itty Bitty "Hey Stud", get it here. It isn't very old and I've had my eye on it for a while. Unity always runs great promotions so I just waited for the right time to strike! LOL. The paper and K&Company Cut and Past Stack, which I have used to death! This paper looks pretty unassuming but is SUPER versatile!

Leave me a comment, I may be the last entry since it's late and I didn't get a chance to upload this earlier. Unity give a prize to one random participant and one random commenter. Yep, flake :-( That's okay cuz I love Unity and love my Uncle so I'm happy I was able to make him this cute retro card.

Some Manly Men Cards

Hello Friends, Manly cards for you today. I believe that a I'm not alone in the fact that it is SUPER challenging for me to make man cards. It is so fun and easy to fluff up and girlie up cards. The more the better right? Well with Man cards there is the whole "Men hate fluffy things" situation. To me a card without ribbon is an abomination. Well maybe not that dramatic but I actually had fun challenging myself to keep it simple and still be Super Cool like I am. Kidding, Hee hee. Hope you enjoy them. The cards with the squares are actually thin patches that I found thinking they were really cute but not sure how to use them. I just knew I had to have them. Well Viola, a cool Man card. Hope you enjoy them. Until Next time Amigas.
