This is Para!!!

Happy Birthday Para!!! I made this card for one of my team leaders at my job. When you call him, he answers the phone, "This is Para. (slowly in a deep voice) It is a Happy Belated Birthday card. This is my first card for a man. Ha, and it wasn't my hubby... He was a lil jealous but his day is coming... So I had to break out Mikey from Hanna Stamps and ink him up. I kept the card simple since it was for a man!!! No flowers and all that jazz... (believe me I was tempted!!!) He said he liked black and grey so there it goes... more info on supplies in a minute..

My Christmas Invitations

Let me show you my family. These are my boys... My son Courtlan and my hubby Ansley. This was taken at my grandmother's 80th Christmas birthday party. These are my over protective watch dogs. They love me to death and what's so funny is that these 2 guys love when I scrapbook. They are always encouraging me to go into my "Scrap World". Now I thought that it was because it keeps me calm, cool and ready to create, but I I get the feeling that think it is because I am away from them for a little while :>).

Here is some more of the invitations that I created for my Grandmother's Christmas birthday party. I had to make 50 invitations which were all uneek (unique)! I added a little bling to the card with gems from Hobby Lobby!!! I used cardstock that I got from JoAnns Christmas Glitter stack pack and Metallic stack pack. I punched the snowflakes using McGills Stackable Snowflake punch. I now have invested in McGills StraonArm which cuts the time on punching and relieves the strain on your wrist. Sure would have been nice if I would hav known about this earlier!!! Great investment...
