'I Didn't Forget Your Birthday' {card fail}

I'm not always happy with the cards I make.

Anyone else have that same problem?

This card needs something else, but I just can't seem to figure out what IT is.

Maybe the scalloped circle needs to be bigger.  

Or I should've went with a different shape.

THIS is the sketch I used for inspiration.  

I tried adding another shape by the sentiment like it shows in the sketch, 

but it just didn't work on my card.

Thoughts, anyone?

Pumpkin Lollipop Holders

October already?

I've been itching to make something fun for Halloween, 

and these cute Pumpkin Lollipop Holders were the perfect thing 

to satisfy my crafty itch.

Here's a view from the side.

How fun are these?  

Want to make your own?

  

Directions can be found HERE,  

and the pumpkin idea came from HERE.

More DIY Magnet Boards

There are a few thrift stores in my little town, and my SIL and I 

like to go to them each week to see what treasures we can find.

Last week I found some gold trays hiding on a bottom shelf of one of the stores, 

and knew immediately what I could make with them.....more magnet boards!

These trays were gold, so I spray painted the edges a chocolate brown color 

before mod- podging scrapbook paper onto them.  

They turned out so cute!

I think there may have been a few more trays at the store....

and I'm hoping they're still there!  

My girls and I will be making more of these 

for Christmas gifts for their friends this year.

(if I can find more trays!)

Paper Purses

Do you know any ladies that are really into purses?  

I have always been a simple girl, and have never seen 

a need to own more than one very plain purse at a time.  

Until recently.  

I've discovered that having a cute purse adds a little bounce 

to my step, and am always on the lookout for another fun one 

to add to my meager collection.

So when I saw THESE CUTE PURSES from Jill's Card Creations, 

I knew I had to make a few...

These tiny purses would be a perfect gift bag for lotions, nail polish, or even some treats!

Yep.  I think I'm addicted!

'You Rock' Card

It's a miracle! 

I actually got a card done in time to enter it into a card challenge!

Freshly Made Sketches has a sketch this week that totally inspired me.

And the fact that it was quick, easy, and totally do-able didn't hurt either!

Here's my card:

Have a great day!
