Birthday card for Sarah's dad

Sarah asked me to make a card for her to send to her dad. I've put it off for days and today I spent 4 hours in my room trying to come up with something. This is the final results. The first picture shows totally together, and the 2nd one shows it with the middle pulled out.

Lollipop flowers

On the PaperCraft message board there is a weekly challenge. The May 17th challenge (that I finally got around to doing today lol) Was to make a card without a typical straight line, and it had to have a lollipop flower on it. (Here is a link to the tutorial on the lollipop flower) So here is my card for that challlenge.
Then the challenge for the May 24th was a sketch. I used the sketch and because I had so much fun making lollipop flowers for my little hat I made one for this weeks card too. Unfortunately with both cards the scanner flattened my flowers and the glimmer mist cant be seen.
Here is the card:

Mother's Day cards

I've been overwhelmed with mother's day gifts for my mom and my mother in law. I made them each a birthday card organizer full of birthday cards. Silly me forgot to take pictures of them. But I did want to share the Mother's Day cards I made. I made 3 similar cards (one for my mom, his mom, and his step mom) and a card for my Grandmother.

Card Candy

Tonight on the http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com scrapbooking message board I was asked to answer some questions on card candy. While no expert I decided it would be fun to do. I made this to show what card candy is and how it could be used. Although originally the card was made first lol

Feeling crafty

Well I started cleaning my room and as I am putting away all my supplies that I've allowed to be a mess I discovered that I'm feeling crafty again. Seeing all those goodies has inspired me to finish a couple of swaps (one I finished really early! lol) and to create some new things.
This is some card candy I made for a seasonal card candy swap. My assignment as you can see was winter.
The next thing I finished was for another swap. For this swap we had to create a Birthday card with a matching tag. I later finished the tag by stamping the word "celebrate!" below the candles.

Then I worked on some extra postage holders. I was inspired by a gal from Papercraftsmag.com, she had created one that had double sided paper with a peek-a-boo center and a transparency. So tried to recreate one for myself but I hated the end result. As I was cleaning I came across a matchbook that my friend Teenah had given me in a Easter NSSS (not so secret sister) swap. So went online and found a template for a matchbook that would fit a snack size M&Ms (end measurements of 2 x 3). I really wanted something that would hold the stamps so they weren't going to fall out and I came across some 'bagettes' from my jewelry making days. LOL I liked them so much I went crazy and made 25 of them. Here is the end result:

Paper Craft Mag Swap

For those of you who know me, know that I LOVE to create and swap my creations with wonderful ladies I found on papercraftsmag.com. Recently I signed up for a swap called PC Pro Sue's "Get Famous" Swap. I had to make 11 cards to send in to one of the Paper Craft Pro's because she was going to be doing a segment on a morning show in Utah about swaps. It was really awesome to be able to see my card on tv.
Here is my card that I made for it and (if I can get it right I) here is the segment for KSL 5 morning show where my card along with 11 other talented ladies were shown.

Teacher gift/card

This year Alex's 6th grade teacher was Mr. Beebe. I wanted to make him something for an end-of-the-year gift but wasn't sure what to make. So I decided to make a card with giant paperclip bookmarks as the embellishments. I used some little wooden apples from Michael's. Here is the final product.
