Have a SUPER birthday!

Our ring bearer's birthday was on Halloween. He is so SMART! His parents even just flew him out to Florida to watch the last space shuttle launch. So with that fresh in his mind, I knew I wanted to make him a rocket card! The one on Nifty Fifties was perfect!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

My parents, husband, and myself will be jointing my co-family (in laws) in Saint Francis Wood in San Francisco for a Halloween celebration! Last year was their first Halloween in that community and the community told them it was a "hot spot" for trick-or-treaters... well, that was an understatement... We used a counter and clicked for every person that came to the door. After an hour and a half we had given candy out to 1280 children... yes, you read that number right.... 1280!!!! So this year we are going to be prepared! We are very excited about it. So I hope you are doing something fun tonight too! I am personally looking forward to the Hot Apple Cider! 

Over at Imaginisce we are giving you some last minute Halloween inspiration! So definitely go over there and check it out! 

This card is going to my grammy in Ohio! I designed the whole thing around her and having her in mind and this is just PERfect for her! She is as spunky as this shoe and I get some of that from her. :) I know she'll love it!

Sweet Baby

This is another card I did for the new My Pink Stamper Release!!! This was actually made for my best friend Kourt who will be pumping out a small baby girl ANY day now!!! I am really excited about it! So since her first is a boy, I thought the second should be represented by a "chick". Get it? Geeze, I'm SO cheesy!!! haha. I'm glad you all put up with me! 

I know it sounds silly, but when you are inspired by something small, run with it! I was inspired by the lavender crinkled ribbon! I have had it set aside specifically to use because I just loved the soft, sweet color. So that's what I decided to use!
