Mikylo's 11th Birthday Party!

Well...a few days b/f my son's "kid" party (his real b'day is Boxing day...poor kid!) He tells me his friends are all asking what craft we are doing this year! I thought when we said pizza and a movie party...it was pizza and a movie! Oh well...so i found this really cute tic tac idea, as agin his theme is snowmen! I think this is about the 5th snowman party he's had lol! I hope these kids enjoy making these!

Elvis!

We had an Elvis impersonator come to Creighton this week and he was fantastic! It's as close to Elvis as I'll ever get! His name was Daylin James and he's won awards for his impression as well as done shows in Vegas...Hope to see him again!

versamark
orange, black, pansy purple cardstock
background paper contraband
glossy paper
purple chalk

Baby gift accordian album

Yes...it's a little late for my friend...but I KNOW she'll appreciate it! She is a scrapbooker too, actually I came to know her from going to fellow scrapbooking events! I really hope she likes it!


I got this template from a fellow CTMH'er Vicki Wizniuk. You can see her blog HERE. Her album was 6X6 though...so I had to make a few changes here and there, really like how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment!

Wedding Card

"We do not remember days, we remember moments", I think it's a fitting quote for a wedding card!

I was asked to make a wedding card, I thought it would be safe to go with silver and black, would match any wedding color theme...I hope! Decorated the card a little bit, and the part that says "congratulations" has a little flap that will hold money or a gift card! Hope she likes it!

April Scrapbook Club

April brings an Easter layout. You could omit the bunny and the saying and make it any spring layout...but the bunny is pretty darn cute!!! I didn't like this paper pack until I saw this layout from a fellow CTMH consultant! The flowers are sprayed with a homemade glimmer mist and I'm addicted to it, love the look!! Here's what I used:

Caboodle L2 paper pack X7121B

sweet leaf ink Z2152

sorbet ink Z2164

Another miss you...

So I figured she may be sending these out to men as well...it's SO hard for me to make masculine cards! Not even 100% sure if you'd call this masculine...but hope so!

Here's what I used:

dessert sand textured cardstock X5747

Miss you

I miss making cards! So again when a friend asked me to make her a few for her business, how can I refuse! I just don't make cards as much anymore because I don't have any card group ladies, only scrapbooking! And I really don't find the time OR should I say make the time to make any for no reason! She wanted some "we miss you" cards. I found these layouts from Vicki Wizniuk a fellow CTMH'er, love her work!

Here's what I used for this card:

topstitch L2 X7120B
classmate alphabet D1303
giggle caps D1136
just blooms Z1300
chocolate ink pad Z2111
heavenly blue ink pad Z2126
chocolate ribbon rounds Z1127

March scrapbooking

Sorry, I am not the best photographer! Maybe that's on my list of new things to learn!

This heart says "I just love you to pieces" stamped on it.

It's hard to see but this heart says "love (heart) always" stamped on it, and it's completely covered in liquid glass, hence why it's so shiny!

Well it's that time again! This is the layout I picked for March thinking the ladies can use it for a family layout...for kids...for Valentine's day...whatever you love! But yet...it's not too girlie :O) At least I hope it's not! The actual photos will be where you see the twilight squares and rectangles...I just needed to put something on there to give them and idea of where photos can be. Of course the 5X7 photo on the first page can be put into two smaller photos as well...whatever works!

Here's what I used in the layout:

Imagine page 68-69
Veranda L2 paper pack X 7119B
In my heart D1245
February word puzzle D1269
All my heart D1194
Hearthrob D1309
Dimensional elements hearts Z1278
sparkles Z1104
parchment ink pad Z2142
cocoa ink pad Z2114
tulip ink pad Z2166
tulip marker Z2366
black marker Z293
photo hangers Z293
liquid glass Z279
twill ribbon Z1099

How will you pick the winner?

The winner will be selected using an online random number generator; and announced on the Epiphanie blog by April 2nd, 2010.

Why did you pick a gift card for Southwest as the other choice for a prize?

Because Epiphanie is about exploring, traveling, and living a life more inspired. AND we think it might be nice to have a vacation to go along with your sassy new camera bag! We chose Southwest simply because they are our favorite airline. Southwest did not solicit our opinion. Epiphanie is not affiliated with Southwest, and Southwest is not sponsoring this contest in any way whatsoever.
