Favorite Daughter's Birthday

 Our daughter's birthday was yesterday and I made this card in a box card for her.  She has a beautiful golden retriever and made a cute dog in a box card. I had him holding a heart. Happy Birthday Lindsey!

On the same day, a good friend also has a birthday and her birthday card is below.  Who doesn't love a pink card with flowers!

I couldn't throw away this beautiful leaf shaped bottle. Friends gave us this bottle with maple syrup and it had to be repurposed. I made it into a vase. I have floral in it but because it is glass you could put real flowers in it too. Love the way it came out.

Our First Sept Craft Fair

 I have been making a few things this past week for the craft fair that we are having on the September 6th and 7th at the Wells Jr High School. This project is a seashell that I painted and put some transfers on it and then glued it to a painted candlestick.  It makes a cute ring/jewelry holder to put on top of your bureau. I think I'm going to make another one.

Here are some close up pictures of what we have for the craft fair. I know I posted some last week but wanted to show the individual pieces. It is the first time we have done one in September which is gonna be fun because we are able to make some Halloween things. 

I made these 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Halloween candy boxes to hand out to treat or treaters.  I'm going to put "Happy Halloween" on the top which I'll do tomorrow.  I think they are a perfect size for Halloween. Hope we have a good turn out this weekend. 

End of August!

 These accordion cards have so much room for sentiments. I love making them for this reason and it also shows off pretty cardstock like Graphic 45! This one is for my sister. She, my brother and I always were reminded when our birthdays came in August that the school year was just around the corner. The flowers are a punch from Stampin up.  

Here is the card opened up and showing more of the beautiful cardstock. Happy Birthday Andrea!

My sisters and I (Sisters Designs) are getting ready for a craft show in Wells, Maine on September 6th and 7th, Saturday and Sunday.  There is papercrafting items for Halloween, Thanksgiving and a little bit of Christmas also some wall art for your home.  Come on over there is free parking and admission. It is at the Wells Jr High School. Can't wait!

Another August Milestone!

 This card is for a friend who also just turned 70! It has been quite a year with a lot of friends from elementary and high school turning 70. This card is a triple fold card. The paper is from Graphic 45 and I think it is called "Bloom". 

This card is a crate with beer and I used a Stampin up stamp set for the front of the card.  Below is a side view of the card and it folds up great for mailing. So who doesn't love beer for his birthday! LOL!

My last project is actually a pin that I made for a friend who is going through chemotherapy and she had a wonderful nurse for her first infusion. So she and I decided to make this pin for her to wear. 

My Milestone Birthday!

 My Birthday is starting out great! Flowers, wine and Amaretto, these are my favorite things and we are having lobsters and clams for our dinner tonight! I am very lucky to have so many people that know what I love! My family is the best! Plus my siblings gave me a wonderful 70th birthday party in June so that I would be surprise! And it worked!!  Now, I am on to other decade!

My husband and daughter surprised me with the items in the picture above and I got a call from my son who lives in Seattle today.  They also told me that they are planning a trip to England next spring because it is my heritage. Hopefully we will make it to Scotland and Ireland too! Can't wait! 

August Is Here!

 I have made this style card before for a birthday and it was fun to make it again for my brother's birthday! I didn't have the dies to make it so I used punches for the records and buttons, etc.  It is great for a masculine card. 

This style card. has plenty of room on the back for the sentiment. Always looking for this when I make a card. 

I thought the sentiment for this birthday card was perfect for a golfer! I found it on Pinterest and had to. make this one for a friend. 

This is the second angel that I have made from the book folding technique. I did sell the first one I made at our craft fair last Christmas.  I wanted to make another one and I love how this one came out. She is a cutie! This one is a little different from the other one I made because this angel sings!! Thanks for stopping by! Happy August!

End of July Birthdays

 

This style card is a pop out middle panel card. It is all about scoring. Love how it turned out with Graphic 45's Couture paper collection. Happy Birthday Adrianne!

Another beautiful Graphic 45 paper collection called Typography which might be retired at this point. It's another birthday card which is a variation of the tri-shutter card. Love the accordion in the middle of the card. This style card closes up perfectly to mail it. Happy Birthday Joni!

Lastly, the flying seagull card. It is fun how the center panel pops out when the card opens. Another Graphic 45's paper collection called Ocean Blue  which I have used so much for cards.  Such a fun style card to make and I think it has a "Wow" factor to it. Happy Birthday Mary! 

Three different style cards which can be found on youtube with their tutorials. Thank you for stopping by and checking out these cards.
