Mission Airport Layout


 My son made the decision to serve a 2 year mission to teach about Jesus Christ.  We are so excited for him and can't wait to hear about all of his experiences.  Trying to do a layout that isn't girly or cute is harder for me.  LOL.  But sometimes, the more simple the better.  Let the photos and journaling tell the story.  Love you son!  See you in two!

Evergreen Popup Thank You Card



 I made this thank you card for my brother-in-law to say thank you for a gift her gave me.  I love how the tree pop-up came out.  Such a fun die set!

Landscape Rectangle Accodion Die with Cupcake Add On





Playing around with a couple more versions of the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die set.  This time I added the cupcakes.  Next is the fence!  These are so fun.  Since I cut a bunch of pieces, I decided to do 2 cards at once.  However, after having done it the bottom way, I would definately add the "frame" piece like I did on the top one, just to give it some more stability since my cardstock wasn't that thick.  Still ok, but next time I will add the frame or cut them twice to thicken the card.  Overall, it is super fun.  I do happen to like the first one with the sentiment in the middle instead of the cupcakes all the way across, but that is just a personal preference.  I did add the Happy Birthday sentiment that I made on my Scan n Cut to the back panel of the bottom one.  Such a fun card and a great way to make use of a 6x6 paper pad.  

Landscape Rectangle Accordion Card - Happy Birthday




So after making the last Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die masculine card from Karen Burniston dies, I decided to make another while I had all the stuff out.  Easier that way.  Such a fun card.  Lovin it.  This one has flowers on it but soft colors.  So fun.

Landscape Rectangle Accordion Card - Happy Birthday Masculine

 




So I found metal dies by Karen Burniston.  How fun!  I normally use my Silhouette or Cricut to make things, but her dies are so fun!  I must admit, I bought a few.  Shhhh....don't tell.  LOL.  This is the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die.  I always struggle with making masculine cards, but I think this one nailed it.  The truck is Stampin' Up Trucking Along.  It goes great with this card I think and masculine!  Just love it.

Flip Frame Pop Up Die Card



 I recently was given a few pop up die sets and decided to use them.  This one is called the flip frame pop up die from Karen Burniston.  It was a fun card to make.  I did make a mistake on it as I attached it too low and then had to move it so I had to add a piece under the frame because it tore my paper and I didn't have any more to recut.  Next time I won't have to and it will look better, but it was still fun to make and use.   Sure makes a fun card to give.  I added Hello to it and will sign it in the frame on the right when I send it.  So much fun!
