first card packs ordered...THANK YOU MARY AND CARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my aunt in law, mary, and BRF (best roomie forever), cara, were awesome and bought card packs!  thanks so much you two! 

here are the cards that mary got. she wanted 3 birthday cards!

cara wanted 2 packs of 3 cards each, 1 birthday, 1 thank you, 1 blank (blank meaning that the person could use it for any occasion)

pack 1 (the 3rd card is one of the build a blossom cards from the bost below):

So i did an oppsy when i initially did cara's cards. i made them all birthday cards!  so i changed the "wish" at the bottom of this card and put "grateful".

Pack 2 (the 3rd card is one of the build a blossom cards from the bost below):

she also wanted 3 thank you cards.....i forgot to take pictures!!!!!!!!!! and they were cute!  :(

I also had to do 3 birthday cards and i have those pics as well! The blue one was for reed!!!!

Busy weekend it was for me!  and another one is coming up....graduation cards to make for family and friends!!!!!  i love these kinds of weekend!  ;)



Build a Blossom Stamp Set...My Favorite!!

My favorite stamp set from Stampin' Up! is Build a Blossom.  Many of you know how much I love flowers, so this set seems like it was made for me!  Each stamp is an individual petal. Oh, and the best part...Stampin' Up! made a matching punch for most of the petals so you don't have to individually cut out each petal!  :)  

Reed was doing guy things last weekend, working on his car so what was I doing? Doing Stephanie things and making cards! lol!

The cards are 3.5 inches x 3.5 inches. I love color but this time, I decided to do some monotone cards, same ink and same cardstock. They are so versatile!  I haven't put any phrases on them, yet, but am thinking about putting the phrases on the inside; Best Wishes, Happy Birthday, Get Well Soon, Congratulations, etc. See, any phrase works with these cards!

Annie's wedding card

My very first best friend is getting married this june! :)  The story...as it has been told to me....she and i met when we were 2 years old. My aunt was walking...probably pushing me in a stroller...around the block and annie was out playing. we met and became fast BFF's as our houses were so close! we did everything together and during the summer, you could have found us at one of our houses, playing on the swing sets and watching princess bride with my sister....and yes...acting it out!

Her wedding annoucement/invitation was the inspiration for the card....here it is.....

card (on the left) with annoucement/invite (on the right) (the big white box is just to "white" out the wording on the annoucement)

card by itself

inside of the card (yes, the "forever" does hang!)

I like a lot of my cards, but rarely do i love a card....I LOVE THIS CARD!!!!!!!!  and thanks to reedo...he did the branches for me. :)

congrats annie and russ!!!!!!!
