Snail-mail cards

Card # 1:

So here are a few cards that I made. I ONCE AGAIN waited to long to take the pictures and so I ended up having to take them inside=( I don't like taking LO pictures inside, but I was "craving" to post something so I couldn't wait=) LOL!

You know those cheap/fake bouquets that you can buy at walmart or any other store that sells them? Well we had one of those "cheap" bouquets laying around the house for EVER! And it was pretty obvious that they were going to head for the trash can any time, so I decided that those flowers could be put to some real good use=) I used orange, yellow & brown acrylic paint to give them a make-over! (They were originally white).

I used chipboard letters for the "you". They were originally pruple, so I painted over them with more acrylic paints and tryed to give them a distressed look! (Do I have to tell you how much I love acrylics? Or is it obvious? =) LOL!



















Card #2:

This is my favorite one! I loooooove pretty much all shades of blue and purple, so...yeah. I really like this one!!! =)

I once again used flowers from the "ugly bouquet" and acrylics for these flowers.

Card #3:

This one is really kinds simple. The tree is a chipboard tree that I covered with copper glitter. Then I used red ribbon, more copper glitter for the little doodle up top. That's pretty much it! But hey! I like simple(well, sometimes=) JK!)

You have a marvelous new week and check back soon! I have more stuff to share! Bless you! -Heidi

Girlie-girl

 I felt like a change so I decided to "spice" my blog up for the holidays! What do ya think? =D

I might as well admit it right now, I'm horrible when it comes to the titles! I just get...stuck! So, I usually use for the title whatever the picture makes me think of. So, this picture of my sis made me think of how much she loves fashion and girlie-girl things!

I cut the flowers out of cardstock, layered a few of them, chalked a few pink, and then finished them off with silver glitter! Luv it!

                                                           A close-up of the journaling...

I usually print out the journaling, but once in a while i'll use my own hand writing...which is what I did here(as you can tell=) Not the best when it comes to handwriting=D

I rolled up the corners of the page to give it an old, weathered-up, "scrappy" feeling(which I always love=)

This frame was originally hot-pink! So I chalked it and weathered the edges. (My sis does like pink, but a hot pink frame would have been WAY to much pink for one LO!) LOL

Smile

Doesn't she have the cutest smile? Her smiles are so cute and...delightful! Whenever you see her smile it just makes you wanna smile too!!! 

I'm so happy to finally have a LO to post! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to sit down and create anything=) But, I do try to keep on top of things=) LOL

This is the first LO that I've done in a loooong time with multiple paper patterns. I love the distressed look, so you can see at the top where I took a piece of paper and burnt the edges(luv that technique!)

I used cute little rhynstone leaves for a border at the bottom.

Here's my lil' sis' "award-winning" smile=) We really don't know where she got her smile from! If you look at all our baby pictures, none of us had such a big smile! LOL -----I cut out the turquoise-polka dot paper, punched little holes in it, and then bordered it with left-over wound-up string. I then used brown ribbon to finish it off.

I can't believe the holidays are almost here! I remember when it was August and we were all wishing that the chilly-seasons would get here and now we're probably all wishing that it would warm up a little! LOL But I have to say, I love the chilly seasons. I'm not saying I love the freezing temperatures=) But I love the warmth and joyous feeling that it gives you. And also, being around family friends that you love is totally worth the freezing temperatures! LOL!

 

What about you? What's your favorite part about winter? I'd love to know!
