Boy Oh Boy!

During the month of September two of David's three brothers celebrate their birthday, as well as a nephew. I always quite enjoy making cards for boys. Earlier today I went through my iPhoto library and dug up the cards I haven't shown you yet. Here's is a few of what I created.

This one was for Paul, David's eldest brother:

The second one was for Glen, David's youngest older brother (David's the baby in the family):

And finally my friend Beth's hubby, Stuart celebrated his birthday earlier this month as well:

Let's Blog!

I can't believe that it's been more than six weeks since I last blogged here. I've been meaning to blog more than once, but somehow I never did. During my absence, my dad and his wife visited us Down Under for three weeks. While they were here we headed on a road trip to Sydney during our Spring break. This was our first outing in Australia since we moved back in January. I felt real good.

Since my last post I haven't been very crafty, but I've still got quite a few cards to show you which I created over the last couple of months. Here's a few...

My Belgian friend, Karolien asked me to create a card with hearts for her sister:

Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink | Patterned Paper: October Afternoon | Ric Rac: Maya Road | Heart Punches: Martha Stewart | Ink: Staz'On (Timber Brown); Rangers Distress Ink (Antique Linen) | Label Die: Papertrey Ink | Clear Stamps: Papertrey Ink | Ribbon: Paperchase | Buckle | Doily | Corner Rounder Punch: Woodware Designs

This one I sent to our little niece Amelia in England:

Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper | Patterned Paper: Echo Park | Clear Stamps: Papertrey Ink | Border Punch: Martha Stewart | Ink: Staz'On (Jet Black) | Button: Basic Grey | Ric Rac + Ticket Die: Papertrey Ink | Brad

And finally this one I sent to my dear friend Claire for her birthday back in August (I might be very late posting them here, but I did sent them on time in the mail):

Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink | Patterned Paper: October Afternoon + Making Memories | Vellum | Stamps: Papertrey Ink | Bling: Prima Marketing + KaiserCraft  | Lace: Spotlight | Brad: Basic Grey | Tag: Newsagent | Ink: VersaColor | Tag Die: Papertrey Ink | Corner Rounder Punch: Woodware Designs | Flower: Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter

Let's see if I can get back into the swing of things, as I've got some more things to show you. One of which is my first publication in Paper Crafts Magazine's latest issue, which turned up on my doorstep last Monday. Hope you're all still there, and thank you stopping by. Have a great weekend!
