Donald's 16th Birthday Card

Donald has been one of my best friends for about 5-6 years and November 3rd was he's 16th Birthday.

For this card I used:
Stamps: Stampin' Up - Gorgeous Grunge - splatter
CTMH - You Are my Happy Icons & Sentiments - the 2 quotes
CTMH - Holiday Tags Occasions - "birthday"
CTMH - Framework Alphabet - "happy"
CTMH - Magical Days Holiday - "16"
CTMH - Countdown - "♥ ♥ ♥"
Paper: CTMH - Whisper, Cranberry, Outdoor Denim, Lagoon and Sunset
Ink: CTMH - Slate, Cranberry, Outdoor Denim
Cut outs: Spellbinder - oval
CTMH - Cricut Art Philosophy - flags
Other: Sizzix - embossing folder
CTMH - Lagoon Brads
Twine & Distressing tools

I knew that I wanted to use the flags on this card for the "happy", and when i found the quote that's on the front of the card, i thought that it fit the two of us perfectly. And of coarse, as many of my cards have, there ware some helpful ideas from mom that made it come together so perfectly.

Amy's Room

A while ago i realized that when I redid my room I didn't make a new "Amy's Room" sign to match. So i made this one. I love nature, and purple which gave me the starting point of what I wanted to do. Then, as I found things that were me and would work and added them like: the roses in the corners and the music notes to put in the tree with my favourite things.

For this I used:

• Different Echo Park's paper

• Circut cartridge: Heritage - the tree

• Circut cartridge: Type Candy Font - "Amy's Room"

• Circut cartridge: Quarter Note - music notes & roses

• Stampin' Up: Pen - Perfect Plum

My Guys

I was putting things up on my closet doors in my room and i found this picture, I had an idea of a page as soon as i saw it. So... I ran down stairs, pulled out the paper I knew I wanted to use and started to play with the papers and my idea. A little after an hour later, here I am making my blog post.

I used: Bo Bunny Paper, old Stampin' Up ribbon, and the Jasmine Cricut cartridge.

My Boyfriend and my Best Friend. They get along way too well, the two of them have their "bromance" and I find myself fighting with Donald a lot over who is dating Aiden; me or him. Aiden is no help, he just says "You two can share me". I always seem to be stuck between the two of them, literally; sitting, standing, hugging, etc.

Nathan's Grad Card

This card is my first ever graduation card, and I think it came out pretty well. I know quite a few graduates but i've only really gotten to know 1 of them, and that's Nathan. We were both on the wrestling team, we always bug each other and we have gotten to be really great friends. He actually asked me to go to his Grad Dinner & Dance with him (which is tonight) and I just had to make him a card.

Our school colours are Red and Gold, so of course I had to us those colours. The grad cap and the diploma were cut out on the cricut machine. As for the "congrats" and the quote on the inside, that is not a stamp! It is my calligraphy (and I'm really happy it actually turned out well).

The quote I thought was prefect sience he and I both love wrestling and I also thought it was great for graduation because people think of graduation as "when you start living your own life".

Finally, knowing some of the people that follow my blog, you are probably wondering why it says "(Kitten)". Well...he gave me that nickname in wrestling: one of the times we were wrestling I accidentally scratched him. And after that he called me kitten, it used to make me mad, but now I've gotten used to it. After going through his Facebook, I found a picture of Nathan with a cowboy hat, so I call him Cowboy.

He is coming here to take pictures (mommy's request) and I have Cat ears and he has a Cowboy hat. There will be some cute pictures, and some weird looks when we go to the dinner & dance. :)

My Mom's Mother's Day Card

Here is the Mother's Day card I made for my picture taking Mother.

I fond this quote and fell in love with it, and so did my mom. So I hand wrote it on her card: 

Life is like a camera...

Focus, on what's important,

Capture, the good times,

Develop, from the negatives,

And if things don't work out,

Take another SHOT!

For this card I used:

• BoBunny - mama-razzi2 12 by 12 & 6 by 6 paper

• Stampin' Up - Wonderful Mother - "Happy Mother's Day!"

• CTMH - Sightseer Everyday Life - camera

• CTMH - Take Note Cricut Bundle - camera film & note paper

• CTMH - Artbooking - note paper cut out

• CTMH - Cardstock - black

• Memento ink - black

• Zig pen - black

Jessica's 16th Birthday Card

Cruising at 16!

I am so glad that Jessica's birthday is at the beginning of the year because I've been dying to play with the driving Kraft'n'Kimmy. (Most of my friends' birthdays are in October and November.)

I used these copics to colour the girl that's driving in style: E35, BG05, Y04, BG07, N3, N5, N7, C4, C5, C6, C7, G05, RV09, E47, E44, E43, E00.

Spencer's Valentine's Day Card

As soon as I saw this paper line, I know I'd be using it for my (ex) boyfriend's Valentine's Day card. I thought the sheet music with hearts was perfect, since we are both in the Strings class together, at school; I play Violin and will be learning the Viola in a couple weeks and Spencer plays Viola. 

On this card I used Bo Bunny's Love Letters Journal 12 by 12 and 6 by 6 paper line. I also used Close to my Heart's Juniper Cardstock, Cocoa ink, Sweet Music Everyday life (stamp set), and Whooo's Your Valentine Constant Campaign NPM (stamp set). From Stampin' Up I used Occasions Alphabet (stamp set), and Early Espresso pen.

P.S. typed this up when we were still dating, just didn't have the picture on the computer. I love the way the card turned out, but this kind of an awkward post for me.
