Happy Mothers' Day!

2009-05-10T11:41:00.000-07:00

I had to wait until today to post these pictures because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for my momma!

Happy Mothers' Day!
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."~Agatha Christie~

“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.”
~Marion C. Garretty~

“I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.”
~Adabella Radici~

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ~Washington Irving~

“A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done.” ~Author Unknown~

“One lamp - thy mother's love - amid the stars

Shall lift its pure flame changeless, and before

The throne of God, burn through eternity -

Holy - as it was lit and lent thee here.”

~Nathaniel Parker Willis~

"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take."

~Cardinal Mermillod~

“God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers.”
~Jewish Proverb~

“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” ~Sophia Loren~

"Friends are flowers in the garden of life."

"Friend are flowers that never fade."
"Color me happy"

"Be your colorful self"

"Create: Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid."

"If the shoes fits, buy it in every color."

Baby Boy Albums

2009-03-08T15:41:00.000-07:00

This album was a gift for some friends' new baby boy. I made a 24-page, 8x8 album that goes through his first year.

Welcome to the world, Jett!
It's a Boy!

Date, Time, Height, and Weight

I used the "New Arrival" Cricut cartridge to cut out the giraffe.

Bath Time

In the last part of the album, I made pages for 1 month through 11 months. Once again the Cricut proved useful with the "Plantin Schoolbook" font cartridge.

First Birthday

This album my aunt asked me to make as a gift for someone. My second sale :)

Henry

Both albums have pages for pictures of the new mom and dad with the baby.

Ten Tiny Toes

Sweet Dreams

"New Arrival" Cricut cartridge for the giraffe

"New Arrival" Cricut cartridge for the elephant

"New Arrival" Cricut cartridge for the monkey

Each album has 4 pages for first birthday pictures

The Cricut was really instrumental in finishing these two albums. I love that machine!

Clutch Mini-Album

2009-02-11T16:23:00.000-08:00

I found this cute photo clutch album at Archiver's on the clearance rack. I believe it was originally intended to just have photos put in it, but I had a brainstorm of a mini-album with pictures of my man and I.

"These are the moments... I cannot live without"

"I've found all I've waited for..."

"These are the moments I know heaven must exist.

These are the moments I know all I need is this."

"Smiling just to see the smile upon your face"

"Right here in this moment is right where I am meant to be"

Designed with:

Bazill Basics cardstock
Bazill Basics "Whirlpool" paper flowers
Making Memories "In Bloom Small Circles" brads
FancyPantsDesigns.com "The Daily Grind" scrap pad

Christmas Thank You Cards

2008-12-27T22:20:00.000-08:00

For all the lovely Christmas gifts I received, I made some thank you cards. I must apologize, though... I constructed these without my normal set of tools (I used a glass to trace the circle). Once again, Archiver's has been my friend. It's a good thing there isn't a store within 3 hours of Steamboat; although, I'm going to be on radiation vacation, and there will be an Archiver's within striking distance. Hmmm, *tenting fingers and smiling evilly*...

P.S. What do you think of the new background? Is it too distracting?

Designer Papers:

Deja Views "RetroHip Christmas-Garland with Varnish"
Deja Views "RetroHip Christmas-Snow Swirls"
Deja Views "RetroHip Christmas-Chimney Blocks"
Prudence Collection "Temperance"

Embellishments:

Basic Grey "Wassail" Chipboard Stickers
Little Yellow Bicycle "Christmas Magic Collection" Fabric Brads
