Mom's Gift Album

It has been a long time since I have been here and it feels good to be back. Sometimes, my creative mojo has to recharge and it is good to have it back. I finished a  chipboard mini album this week for my Mom's birthday.

The album came from Michael's, the flowers were from my Anna Griffin card kit and the bling came from (well, um...) well they came from some where. LOL! I just loved the colors and the way it all turned out.

She loved all the pictures and of course the design. That makes me happy that she was so elated!

Take a look!

Adding the tulle was a nice way to soften it up even more.



These ladies are my grandmother and great grandmother. Amazing women!

My mom on here wedding day.



I hope you enjoyed this tribute to my mom and the women who helped to shape me. Take care and have a nice day.

    Kelly, this is wonderful. What a beautiful tribute to the women who made you who you are. I love the colors and love that lace piece on the front. Did you cut that? Also love the use of the tulle. Perfect accent to the album. I'm sure your mom loved it and your MIL will love the one you are making for her. Can't wait to see it. Beautiful, artsy work, my friend.

Emmy's 2010

Did you watch the red carpet last night for the Emmy's? I love watching these award show red carpets more than the show itself.  I just saw the pictures online. One the sites I looked at was radaronline.com. These pictures are from there. First, I liked the navy blue one.  The dress had lots of drama and she wore it well. The purple one was interesting.  Still trying to decide if I like it. Maybe it would have been better with the layers on the bottom but not both.  I really love the color and the idea. Maybe a little too much going on. radaronline.com This next dress worn by Eva Longoria was so pretty. The black flowers on the bottom of the dress was so stunning! She looked  great, too. I wonder how the dress would look in a lighter color? Maybe the floral details would show up better. radaronline.com Out of  all the dresses I saw these were the most interesting ones. I was a little disappointed there weren't more WOW dresses. Also, there were s...

Valentine's Cards

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope it was a sweet one for you all. I just love making greeting cards for this holiday.  Nornally for Valentine's I make red and black cards which I love but this year I decided to add some pastel colored cards to my collection. Earlier this year, I made some cards with this beautiful paper pad from Michael's. I loved it so much, I just had to see if I could use it for Valentine's and they look great to me. Details:  Recollections Paper is from Michael's 6x6 paper pad called "Blush and Mint."  Flowers made with my Spellbinders scalloped circles.  Take a look! Do you feel the love? LOL! Cards are 5x7 in size. See the heart in the center? Love that idea!     Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
