Happy Birthday! Fun Circus Seal Card!

I have a stack of cards from when I first started crafting that need a make over! (Hoarder). Over the years I have learned new techniques and acquired lots of supplies. I finally decided to pick one and make it over using my new style and my supplies!

My Before:

My After:

I love it! I think it looks completely different! 
Since the card was so old the pops dots had dried up, so I was able to take most the card apart. Then I punched new circles and added my touches. Then put it all back together. I think it took me longer to re-do this card because I was working with the basic lay-out already in place.

Time for Ice-Cream! A page from my Mini Album!

My mini Album from our 2011 is way larger than I first thought it would be. I have been plugging away photo after photo. I still have so many more pages to go before my album is complete. This has been the hardest project I have ever worked on, and just confirms my decision on why I do not scrapbook!

Merry Christmas!! It's Xmas in July! Christmas Tree Card

My goal for Christmas cards this year is to make them flat! This is super hard for me since I like to add lots of ribbon and layers. Last year I needed 2 stamps for every card I mailed out! So this year, I am trying hard to make them flat, but still have my style! I resisted and did not use any pop dots on this, but I was still able to add a few layers and texture using an embossing folder.

For baby! Sweet Elephant Gift bag!

It is hard to believe that we have already received our welcome back to school paperwork in the mail yesterday! I had big plans for crafting this summer, but my days were filled with running, working, cooking, cleaning, laundry and dealing with 2 tweens..... Oh how I miss my summer days! Anyways I was lucky to be working from home yesterday, so I woke my girls up at 5:30 am to get some miles in and they both fell back to sleep when we got home. This gave me just enough time to make this sweet baby gift bag. At first I was going to use it to hold a gift card, but now I think I want to make a mini baby album to slip inside.
