Inner Goddess

Today, I just wanted to make a card for a sweet friend I met last month.  Have you ever meant someone and just knew from the beginning that the person was special?  Maybe you're not quite sure why or what role they are to play in your life, but for some reason, you know this person was meant to be a part of your life?  I met a friend at our 31 National Conference this year.  She is just so sweet and genuine.  I love her to pieces.  :)  Since she lives in Florida and I in Indiana, it's not likely we will see each other again until next summer's conference, but it's okay!  We can be long distance friends - especially in today's day and age with all the social media outlets!  Here is what I came up with for my dear friend:

The turquoise pattern paper is from Recollections - My Favorite Things stack.  the hello paper is from DCWV's The Home Spun Matstack.  The flowers and pearls are also Recollections.  The lace, I just had lying around here.  I"m sure I picked it up at Hobby Lobby earlier this summer!  Oh and the little birdy is on an ACTION WOBBLE!  These things make everything more fun!

Here is the inside (the sentiment is from Pink by Design's "Fifty Shades" sentiment set):

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you like my little card!  Happy Crafting!

Have a TWEET Day!

What a fun sentiment!  Birds are all the rave right now!  I'm not sure why, but I've totally fallen for all the cute things we can do with birds too! 

Pink by Design also has a challenge up right now to create something with birds.  You can find the challenge here.  So come play along with us!

 Here is a card a made (well, actually, I made a couple of them) for my Mom's birthday.  I also had a friend with a birthday around the same time, so she received a similar card!  Here is my card:

The sentiment "Have a Tweet Day" is from the Pink by Design set called "Take the Cake".  You can find it here!  The paper is from DCWV's "The Chateau Lavender Stack."  Aren't the colors so soft and pretty?

I hope you've enjoyed my blog today!  Happy Crafting!

Masculine Cards

Why are masculine cards so hard for me?  Or maybe why is it that the MEN in my life don't like pink, purple, glitter and bling?  Hmmm, if they did, it would make creating for them A LOT easier!  Ha! 

My husband and I celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary this week!  :)  I've made him a MASCULINE card.  At least, I hope it is masculine.  I have trouble with the "cheesy" cards - even when buying from the store (which I NEVER do anymore).  I just can't do cheesy with my "meaningful" cards.  I can do fun & cheesy with cards for friends and brothers, etc - but not so much for parents, grandparents and the husband.  If I could do cheesy - it might make it a little easier.  Then I could use tools and puns and food, etc.  Oh well, I'll save that stuff for my layouts and well friends and nephews!  The nephews especially, love the cheesy!

Anyway, here's what I came up:

The paper is from the Recollections Everyday Moments stack.  The bling is from imaginisce.  The sentiment is from Pink by Design "Rain or Shine" set.  I also stamped the inside with a Pink by Design sentiment from the "Small Things" set.  It says "You are my reason why".  Sorry, I didn't take a picture of the inside!

Thanks for letting me share with you!  Let me know what you think!

Happy Crafting!

Amazing & Bright

Oh gosh, it's been awhile!  Life became a little hectic!  I spent a week in July in Atlanta at our Thirty-One Gifts National Conference which was amazing!  I think I spend the entire month of August catching up from being away that one week!  EEK!  Here are a couple of cards I made today just for fun!  I plan on using them to CER (celebrate, encourage & reward) my 31 team!  I hope you like them!  I'm pretty pleased with the final results!

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me some bloggie love!

Laters Baby

TeeHee....I giggled the whole time I made this 4x4 card for my friend who all 3 fifty books last week!  I used Pink by Design Laters Baby set and the everyday banners!  No real reason for this card other than it is fun and my friend will get a kick out of it!  I hope you like it!  Now hope on over to Pink Cricut's blog and check out her Link Up Party!

I thought the twine - also from PBD - was appropriate!

Whisking You A....

My grandma's birthday is coming up, and my family and I are lucky enough to be able to spend it with her this year!  We will be traveling to Arkansas in early September to go to an airshow with her and her husband.  It coincidentally falls on her birthday this year!  YaY!!!  I made a little card to take to her (along with some incredible chocolates from a local candy store and a bottle of wine from a local winery)!  Here is her card (which just happens to meet the Ink it with Pink criteria this week too) -

All stamps are from Pink by Design - the Whisk and measuring spoons are from What's Shaking.  The recipe card is Recipe Front.  The sentiments are both from Kitchen Puns.  The silver ink is kind of hard to read but the sentiment says, "Whisking you a Happy Birthday"!  Cute, huh?!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hop on over to the Pink by Design blog to see all the other projects this week - you'll notice, they all have a tag!  ;)

Sky is the Limit

Today I'm playing in the Pink by Design Ink It Pink challenge!  You can play along too!  Just click here to play along!  This week, the challenge was to incorporate ribbon into your project!  In about 2 weeks, I will be headed to Atlanta to attend the Thirty-One Gifts National Conference!  I'm excited to go for a lot for of reasons - great training, new products & spending quality time with my director and team!  I'm a little sad too though as several of my team is unable to attend.  I've made a little card using part of our National Conference logo for my team members not going.  Here it is:

The hot air balloon is part of the logo.  I added a little kraft background - some have plain kraft paper and some have a printed kraft background.

I used some stickles to give the balloon and basket a little sparkle.  I used the Pink by Design Just Breathe sentiment set for the "Dream until your Dream Comes True" sentiment.  I love this set - and this sentiment in particular so so much!  Who doesn't love Aerosmith?!?!?  Right? 

Here are the backs of the cards:

I've left space between the two stamps to write a personalized note to each of my team members not able to attend conference.

Subway Art from Pink by Design is another of my favorite sets!  Both of the sentiments on the back of my cards from the Subway Art set.  I have left plenty of room in between the two sets of to write a little personalized and motivational (hopefully) note to the ladies on my team not able to attend NC.  I will mail them out the day I leave for Atlanta so they'll know I'm thinking about them and taking good notes to bring back and share with them.  I also hope it will help to encourage them to start thinking about next summer's conference!  I hope to have a full team there next year!  How fun - it really is a HUGE SLUMBER PARTY!

The ribbon of course is from Thirty-One Gifts.  I have wrapped it around each card to add a little "gifty" presence to the card - after all - while at conference, all attendees will be showered with gifts!  For more information on Thirty-One Gifts and joining my team, click here, or contact me!  Thanks for playing with Pink by Design in the Ink it Pink Challenge!
