Snowbird Sign

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!! Today I created a sign...now let me explain it just a bit. My Mother's big party each year is Christmas Eve and she always trys to have a little keepsake for everyone to take home. This year she has a beautiful little twig tree she spray painted silver and covered in glittery snowflake ornaments for everyone. However with it being the center piece people would never know to take one home with them...so I thought I would make a little sign to put in front tree.

I used the adorable HAPPY BIRD die from Scrapping Cottage. for this project. I've always looked at this die and have seen a sweet little bird singing in spring, but I love how he looks like a snowbird for my project today.....really a die you can use all year long.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Christmas and is able to spend it with family and friends. See soon!!!

Portrait of a Five Year Old Layout

This is to show you what happens when your five year old sneaks your camera out of your purse to take self portraits.  I got so tickled when I down loaded pictures and discovered these beauties. 

I used On The Move from KasierCraft for this layout.  I'm not much for the graphic style, but I thought I would give it a whirl on this one.  What do you think?

On the Move for Cole

This is a card I made for my youngest son, Cole.  He had something at school that he needed a card and this is what I came up with.   I used KaiserCraft's newest line " On the Move".  With two little boys this is just the cutest paper for them.

I love the way I made the little smoke tail with the Baker's Twine.  I just love the retro feel of this line...super cute.
