I am a stay-at-home mom of five beautiful children. Madison (7) in 1st grade, Ryan (6) in Kindergarten, Morgan (4), Connor (2) and Zachary (10 mos) at home with me. I love scrapbooking and cardmaking but my kids keep me too busy to do those as much as I'd like.

Cards I've Made

These are some cards that I made yesterday. I thought it would be fun to put them on my blog for the world to see. They are my first try at making cards, so they're pretty "rough" for my first time out. I had a blast making them though so I don't really care so much how they look.

#1 - Maroon and Cream "Season's Greetings"

This card was super easy, but the patterned paper behind the sentiment is not very visible. The card is maroon with a cream ribbon, the patterned paper is maroon, forest green and gold Christmas ornaments. I love this card and will possibly mass produce for mailing to family and friends!

#2 - Green and Cream "Christmas Tree"



I LOVE this card!! It turned out really cute and was super easy to make! I'd like to try it again, reversing the colors of the cardstock. Dark card, light/dark/light behind the tree. I think I'll try adding some "bling" to the tree the next time, or maybe using pattern paper with a little more detail. Another card I can see myself mass producing, super easy!

#3 - Chocolate and Pink Birthday Card

I got the idea for this card on the Card Positioning System's Blog. There is a sketch posted on the sidebar that looked really easy so I decided to try it out. Click here to see the CPS Blog. Fun Stuff!! http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2010/08/cps-180-part-3.html

I had so much fun making these cards, I can't hardly wait until I have time to make some more!!
