Seasonal Thank You Cards

I've been reviewing some of the cards I've made over the years. It was fun to go through them so I thought I'd share them on my blog. They are separated by category in the following posts. They have all different supplies and mostly stamps from Stampin' Up! and The Angel Company.

Stack of Pancakes

Life. It's the little things.

I loved being a stay-at-home mom for some of the most formative years of my daughter's life. It would be a regular week day, and she would ask for something like a stack of pancakes. I would make them without thinking, really.

Now that I am working every day, these things are "extra special" and we only have time for making pancakes on the weekends.

But I'm glad we had that time together. Now she is in school every day, and I'm glad I have a job to keep me busy. It makes me appreciate the time we do have together a little more.

And every Saturday, I'm happy to make her a stack of pancakes.

Love is in the air!

Or is it snow??? While it's cold and snowy here in Illinois, this layout warms my heart. Last year, my daughter went through a phase where she would grab your face and give you a big ole' kiss right on the lips. I captured this photo last February of my husband and her. I love how this layout turned out. All products (except ribbon) from The Angel Company.

What Makes You Happy???

Dang it to heck if scrapbooking just makes me so darn happy! Sometimes I wish I didn't have this addiction but other times, I'm glad. Today I'm glad.

It's a slow day at work and while the boss was out to lunch, I made this page. I just love the bright colors and the way it all came together. Sorry the pic is a little blurry and it really just doesn't do the rhinestone circle stickers justice, but it is pretty in real life.

Little Princess Page (finished)

Finished off my Little Princess page with the "Yield to the Princess" stamp set from The Angel Company.

Love You Forever

Played with some new TAC stamps today. These are some Valentine's cards I made with a new set from The Angel Company's Spring catalog called "Forever" and some scraps leftover from my "Little Princess" page (below) using the "Flourishes" stamp set. Both card layouts are inspired by samples on pages 38-39 of the new Spring catty.

Little Princess

This page is a work in progress. I have a set from The Angel Company on order to finish it off with some "Princess" sayings. I'll post the updated page after it is finished. Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!

This is a card I made for you...all my stamping and scrapping friends that visit my blog. May 2008 bring you many blessings. Heather :)

Christmas Memories

This is one of my favorite pictures from last Christmas. The layout was inspired by the Deja Views ad in December's issue of Creating Keepsakes. Enjoy!

Here Comes Santa Claus

We're snowed in today so I decided to scrapbook. This is last year's Santa pic on an 8x8 layout using stamps from The Angel Company.

Been playing with my new toys...

I bought a Cuttlebug embossing folder the other day, and it has been so much fun to play with. Even my six-year-old daughter is fascinated with it, and it really is easy enough for a six-year-old. I love that it fits in my Big Shot along with my new Cookie Cutter scallop dies from Quickutz.

I really need to get a new stamp to go in my scallop circle but for now, I'm still using the little snowflake from the Stampin' Up! retired Lace Snowflakes. The Christmas stamp is from the TAC set called Holiday Magic.

P.S. Sorry about the streaks on my scanner. It looks like I got some adhesive on it and it needs to be cleaned.

Joy

I collect nativity sets and my daughter LOVES to play with them. Sometimes, I'm afraid she will break one but she is very gentle and this little girl loves baby Jesus SO much, how can I deny her the joy of a nativity???

I Made Cards!!!

I know, don't have a heart attack, but I actually made two cards today. I was playing with acetate. What fun!

This card was made with TAC Flourishes set, Technique Tuesday chipboard snowflake, Reflection Blue Palette ink, Cotton White Stazon ink, and Stickles. It was inspired by a card by IrishPrincess on Splitcoast Stampers.

This card was made with a Stampin' Up set called Solemn Stillness, Cotton White Stazon, versamark and Silver embossing powder, Pink SU! ink and cardstock.

8x8 Class (Part 3)

One more 8x8 class and we will have a whole year of layouts for our "A Year in the Life" album!!! I'm super excited about our last class, especially this cute little turkey. Thank you to all who participated in this class. I hope you've enjoyed it as much I have.

8x8 Class (Part 1a)

I was getting ready to post the layouts for the last part of our "A Year in the Life" class when I realized I haven't posted the first part. Here's a little catch-up post.
