It's been too long.

It's not that I haven't been doing anything. I've been paper-crafting crazy. But it's not the usual paper-crafting. I've been working on a quiet book for my kids for church. Actually 3 quiet books, one for each kid. What's the point in taking a quiet book for them if they'll fight over it in church. It's been a huge amount of work, but I'm in the final stages of putting it together. When it's done I'll post pictures. So cool.

I wanted to share some cards that I've done in the between though. No scrapbook pages. Scrapbook pages are a completely different mindset and it takes me a while to get in the groove for scrapping.

 Take a look at these though. Tell me what you think.

 This card was for my father-in-law when he had knee replacement surgery.
 A baby girl card.
 A baby boy card.
 I love this wedding card. It took me a long time because I had trouble getting my cricut to cut and not slaughter a wedding cake. All paper for these previous 3 cards was originally white CS.
 I made the tie paper and embossed paper. I stamped the blue spritz on the embossed paper.
So this little ballerina card is special for a number of different reasons. I made it for my oldest on her first day of school. I was putting them to bed the night before and I was saying the prayer and I was a little weepy. And when I finished praying, Mady said to me "Mother (she calls me mother sometimes), will you make me an 'I miss you' card while I'm at school?" I was a little choked up when I said of course, Mady. Well, I did and this is my masterpiece. It's still here in the house and she carries it around. I love this card for all it symbolizes about that first day. :')

Isn't this a cute card? Again the pink flowers I stamped. I don't know if you can see, but I stamped little green dots in amongst the pink flowers on the white CS. This birthday card was for my GF's 4yo birthday. Mady put 4 blings on the crown for her 4th birthday. Don't know my GF figured that out, but Mady understood.
