Showing posts with the label you rock

one graduation down, two to go

  I can't believe my little cousin Travie is all grown up! We returned home yesterday from my cousin's graduation in Broken Bow. It was crazy seeing him walk across that stage.   Sorry I haven't posted lately, I'm going to blame that on him! I was working on graduation gifts/cards/orders.   I got my final two boxes done, and 24 more cards made. For this post, I'm just going to show the pictures of the cards.   I made the cards using the You Rock paper pack - I think it just screams graduation! And then I followed the instructions from the Originals and Wishes card confidence books. I also made two cards using the Game On paper pack , that I had left over from making boxes. The stamps I used are You Did It , Follow Your Dreams (retired), For Every Occassion , Dainty Thoughts  and the set from the You Rock WOTG Just Be You. Embellishments include buttons , stickers and Clear Sparkles .   Please let me know if you have any questions.   Happy...

The perfect card for your graduate!

   I'm one of those people who carefully reads every card they receive and saves them. No lie, I think I probably still have just about every card I've ever received ... and then some. I don't know what I plan to do with them, even though I have included some of the cards we got for our wedding in our wedding scrapbook, but I just can't seem to let them go.    And, then there are those people on the opposite side of the spectrum - like my sister. I have quit making her cards because I told her once that I didn't get her card made, and I would mail it to her. She told me not to bother as she would just throw it away. I suppose I should have made and sent her one anyway, to maybe give her at least a moment of joy, but I didn't want to after that remark.    I'm also one of those people who will spend a very long time reading every card in the store, or looking through my stash, looking for just the perfect card. Sometimes I find it, and sometimes I sett...

Crossing things off the scrapbooking to-do list!

  Good morning to one and all! Or maybe just one ... depends on if anybody reads this! :)   Please let me know: do you like all the updates I've made to my blog design over the last few days? I found a couple of very cool Web sites that let me do all that for free! Yeah!   I don't have a project to share today, but maybe soon I'll have some photos to share. I am getting ready to spend most of the day down in my scrapbooking "cave" getting some serious work done. I have projects to work on for other people, I have some graduation gifts and cards of my own to work on (I'm going to try using the paper pack Game On - I have high hopes), and I have an "about me" scrapbook page to make for our Close to My Heart swap. I've decided to use the paper pack You Rock - it could possibly be one of my all-time favorite paper packs. I've also still got those 25 Bella cards to finish. And if by some miracle (speaking of which, don't forget about our ...
