Birthday card

This was the card I gave to my husband (way back at the beginning of the month!)... it has been a little bit crazy in our neck of the woods!

Enjoy!

Adoption mini-book (pic heavy)

Some good friends of ours are adopting a little boy this month who is 2 years old.  We are just so very excited for them and can't wait to meet him!  What a blessing!  There was a surprise "baby" shower for the mom and she is one of my friends who loves all things scrapbooking.  I really wanted to make something special.  Since he is older I wanted him to know he was loved and a part of their family long before he ever joined their family.  So I made *him* a little picture book.  My friend can place a current picture of each member in the frames, then a pic of him, and pic of the 4 of them at the front.  I used a little icon to represent something that was special to each of them (mom is crafty, dad is in seminary, big sister likes horses, and he's a little boy so hopefully he likes planes :) ... and of course on the front is one of my favorite sentiments for little ones who are adopted!).

Twin birthday card

My husband is a twin and their birthday is this weekend.  I always think his twin gets the "short end of the stick" with me because my birthday is two days before theirs so we are celebrating mine and then my husband's and then I think, "Oh yea, I should have sent my brother-in-law a card!"  (oops!)  He gets one every few years!  This was an *on* year for me.

The photography however, not so much, it was TERRIBLE!  I've edited it to death, and it's still bad.  So, for those who care- Kraft card stock; EP T&T Charming paper; Simple Circles in Simply Chartreuse, Dk Chocolate, Kraft, Fine Linen, Versamark; Road Trip & Birthday Bash Sentiments.

Enjoy!

SAF Closing Ceremony

Oh. My. Goodness. We had soooo much fun! We talked, ate, (notice I put those 2 FIRST! lol) die cut, stamped, and LAUGHED.  So. Much. Fun.  It was pure joy to hang out with these women all day long. Thanks for the great memories and the new friendships.

Enjoy!

PS... keep scrolling down... I'll keep this as the "last" post and post the challenges in order with the right times so everything will be in order.  All my completed projects will be here :)

SAF Card Set

Truth be told, I had picked Jess's challenge before she came over to our "camp site" on Sat... but of course after meeting her I *had* to pick her challenge after! :)

Seriously though, her pictures did not let on how detailed and awesome this little card set was going to be in the end.

I changed the color scheme: Berry Sorbet, Pink (SU), and Dark Chocolate... but did just about everything else.  I am a terrible sewer (and ended up not having large enough glassine bags so resorted to the clear glossy bags I did have) so the xyron'd butterfly idea saved me from terrible looking stitches on the inside and outside where I attached the ribbon!

SAF lunch & snacks

Around here we did something a bit "non traditional"... a PINTEREST party lunch!  Have you attended a pinterest party yet?  No?  Well, now you know you should plan one and invite some friends over!

Everyone is bringing a lunch item they "pinned"... hopefully something they have wanted to try.  :)  There were no rules, so if we ended up with ALL desserts, so be it! HA! (just no one tell our kids!)

Here are the 2 recipes that I am serving... (both pinned from their original sources)

Chicken Salad

Crock pot Baked Potatoes

Also, our snacks are sweet, salty, and/or healthy!  Bring 2  (1 of each of your choice) and it adds to our variety.

We are eating GOOD today! :)

Enjoy!
