Interpretation of previous candle card

This is just my first attempt at this card. I'm sure there will be MANY more. It is such a fun, generic type birthday card!

Monday weigh- in

It's that time again. Back to the weekly weigh-ins. I haven't gotten too off track with the holidays, but I am a few pounds higher than when I was last reporting (forever ago!). Anyway, today's weight is 181.2, and I am shooting for 180 by the end of the month. Actually next Monday will be Feb. 1. I have given myself weight goals for each month, hoping to lose about 4-6 pounds per month. Not too strict. If all goes well, I will be close to my pre baby weight by June!!!!! Combine that with my major loss on the top and maybe I can actually find a cute bathing suit this summer!

One more card post

I finished all of the cards for the month. It's a shame you lose the little details in the photograph. The cupcakes are glittered and look so pretty in person. I love this little cupcake stamp my mom bought from Michaels. It was one of the dollar stamps! I have one more project I am working on for a friend's baby shower, so when I am done with those I will post pictures.

Chelsie's birthday present

This was the hardest thing to photograph! Out of about 20 pictures, 2 were postable. It would help if I knew more about the camera settings. Anyway, this is for Chelsie's birthday-hope she likes it!!!

Anyone need a card idea?

I am completely in love with this card! I found it on Splitcoast stampers, and I can't wait to make my version of it. This is part of the Stampin Up! stamp set I will get free from the sale-a-bration catalog, so unfortunately I will have to wait to place my order next month. I think it is called Whimsical Words. LOVE IT!!!

New Look

My blog will undergo a major face lift in the next few days! I have found (through a friend on Facebook) this woman who does AMAZING scrapbook style headers for blogs, and she will be creating one for me. Check out her site and her family blog!

Take a look at her blog portfolio to get an idea of what I am talking about. The hardest part was picking out a design template! Here is a preview of the one I chose.

I tried to post pictures, but I guess everything has some sort of copyright or something. I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

More cards

February is a busy month for card making! My calendar is full of 5 birthdays, a baby shower, an anniversary, and of course Valentine's Day. I was going to attempt to make valentines for Gabe's class, but I hung up that idea pretty quickly. Besides, I found Spiderman valentines with tatoos that I know Gabe would have picked out himself. I went ahead and bought them because I remember last year I almost waited too long and had trouble finding good valentines. Off to make one more card!
