Happy Birthday Ruby!

My best friend's little girl turned one yesterday. I made these cards as invite to her birthday party that was on Saturday. Just like Fiona Ruby's party was a cupcake party. (Apparently cupcakes are the new big thing.) I made these when Rebecca came to help me finish all of the pieces for my brothers wedding. It was sort of strange to be making something for someone and they be standing in front of you. Luckily she is a really good friend and didn't mind.

Happy Birthday Fiona

Here is the card I made for my mom to give to her best friend's grand-daughter. Fiona just turned one and had a cup cake themed birthday party. Since my mom knew this ahead of time she had me make a card using "Crazy for Cupcakes". I even stamped a little cupcake on the envelope.

I love this set and this will likely be the first of many birthday cards posted using this set.

Pardon Our "Dust"

I am working on the layout of my blog to make it better. Unfortunately I can only work on it in little bits. So things may look a little off for a while. I am almost finished with all of the miscellaneous pieces needed for the day of the wedding. I will post the whole ensemble when I finish them.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday Color Challenge

Here is a card I made for Belinda's Color Challenge. (Visit her blog Here.)I have made a resolution with myself to participate in more card challenges. I very often get in an uninspired mood. As I was catching up on my blog reading in Google Reader Belinda's was the first challenge I came across. This challenge was very difficult for me because I have to admit I am very sick of Chocolate Chip and Mellow Moss since they are about the only colors I have looked at this whole summer. I could hardly believe the first challenge I went to do had not one but both colors. I found it very comical, but I digress. I made this card with my Dad in mind. (So Mom don't show this to him.) He turns sixty this year and I always have a hard time creating masculine cards. I am not sure if this will be the card I send him but I still have a few weeks to decide.

It's Almost That Time...

It is almost time for Halloween and Stampin' Up has great new items coming in the Holiday Mini, which will be available on October 1st. But this great Decor Element Vinyl decoration is available now.

Spooky Spider is available in two colors and three sizes. If you are interested in finding out more about this great decoration let me know.

Grrr... Where are my pictures.

I have no idea what happened. My second blog post from the other night had a couple of really great pictures & even though they were in the preview of my post they didn't make it to the final post. I unfortunately don't know enough about blogging and HTML to figure out how to get them put back in. I need to get the new SU catalog put in the side bar & I don't know how to do that either. I guess my goal for the fall will have to be to learn HTML. I want to thank everyone who left me comments about the wedding invitations. They really were a lot of work but it was well worth it to do it for my brother. Work has been crazy & I really hope to have some time to stamp this weekend. I really struggle sometimes to be inspired. I seem to never know what to stamp unless I have an occasion. (I should have lots of great things when it gets closer to Christmas.) Well I am off to return the favor and go comment on some of my SU Bloggers Groups' blogs.

Until later,

Kat
