Sugar Cookies

My husband LOVES cookies! When we were dating and I would scratch his back he would say "I would do anything for some cookies and a back scratch!" I never picked up on the hint. I thought, "Wow, I am such a good girlfriend!" Well, finally his roommate handed me a bag of chocolate chips and said, "Here, would you make the guy some cookies!! All he does is complain that you never make cookies." He still says I don't make cookies enough but when I do, he can eat the whole batch by himself (4 or 5 dozen)! Here were some especially delicious sugar cookies. I got the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. You know, the red and white plaid one. They were seriously amazing. They were so good by themselves they didn't need frosting, which is good because he doesn't like frosting. Anyway, not only were they delicious, they were beautiful too. Enjoy the pictures!

Baby Boy Card

My good friend Rachel is having a boy this month. I went to her shower the other day. This is the card I made for her. I love the paper and the colors. I just got a heat gun and embossing powder and I just had to try it out. I think I still have some learning to do, but I thought it turned out ok.

No Sentiment Card

I realize I make a lot of things without ever getting around to posting it. I guess I feel like nobody is looking anyway! Oh well. Here is a card I made because I loved the paper and the stamps and wanted to make them coordinate. You can' t see it in the picture too well but the background paper has some green flowers too so that is where I got the idea for the flowers I colored. Again, I don't have copic's so I used colored pencils. I think they turned out ok.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's Party

This is a birthday invitation for my niece who is turning one. After having two boys, her mom (my sister-in-law) loves pink. So, it is a very pink, sparkly, girly card. I worry it is too adult for a one year old party. But, this is what I came up with.




Card Recipe:
Cupcake: Doodlecharms
Let's Party: Cuttin Up
Flowers: Home Decor
Paper: The Paper Studio
Stickles and Popdots, of course!

This was a quick thank you card I needed. I loved this paper and wanted to show case it. So I didn't add too much to it. Pink ribbon and "thanks" from Opposites Attract.

Lemonade Award

I've never gotten any awards before and Nanne, my favorite scrapbooker gave me this one. I was so touched! The award was designed to award bloggers for showing great attitude and gratitude. How sweet of her to give it to me! I suppose I am supposed to pass it along, but she would be the #1 person I would pass it to:

• LinniPink. She leaves sweet comments on my blog when I think noone is looking.
• Tristan. She is just great and makes me feel like my stuff is really good.
• Dani. She always checks both my blogs and is sure to leave a sweet comment.
• Enfys. Her cards are to die for and she leaves sweet comments about my simple ones. Thanks Enfys.
  

A card without a greeting. For some sweet women in my life. Simple stamp, simple brads, simple colors, simple ribbon. Just my style.
