Beach Party

I love these little Tadpoles as if you couldn't tell. I have so many birthdays in the summer, which is so cool 'cause I love doing beachy cards. And you'll notice that I will usually stamp my people on designer paper and cut their clothes out, or towels, umbrellas....you name it, just to add a little texture to the card versus coloring in with markers. In this one, I stamped her on burgundy DP and cut out the beach towel, then glued it on. It's a little hard to see the three dimensional effect.

Baby Tag Card

Here's a tag card I love doing for baby showers. I found this template online a few years back and it's all I use now for baby cards.

BBQ Time!

It's summer and it's BBQ time! Here is a Pocket Apron Invite I did for my sister-in-law for her BBQ party. I did 25 of these. I used Kraft cardstock for the apron. The ribbon, brads, and red checkered paper were from Hobby Lobby. I used the stamp set from Stampin' Up called Backyard BBQ. I stamped the grill on Kraft cardstock and cut out; the burgers and dogs were stamped on white paper and colored with Copics.

How to Remove a Label from a Blog Post

I accidently added a label to a blog post of mine without meaning to and then couldn't figure out how to remove it. So I googled it and all I came up with were blogs where they referred to an item called Label Actions and I do not have that anywhere on my blog layout. Well today I finally figured out how to do it and it was so simple I thought I would let others know. Go into Blogger, select Posts. Here should be the list of all your blog posts. Select the one you want to change and select edit. Over to the right will be a column called Post Settings. Underneath that will say Labels. Click on Labels and this is where you can add/remove/change the name of a label(s).

Flower Pot

This is my first flowerpot pocket card I've ever made and I had fun doing it. There are so many possibilities. I know they've been around for awhile and I finally took the time to make one. I found the template online for the pot itself, then hand-cut the flowers and glued to an insert piece. The flowers fit inside the flower pot and pull out with a birthday greeting.
