Update *Give away closed*

Welcome to You had me at scrap, and the Motions and Folds Card Hop! Hosted by Ellen! Thank you for getting us all together today for this hop- I've had tons of fun.   I'm glad your here.
If you've come from visiting Wendy at wendyscreativecraftingcorner.blogspot.com, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to  Ellen's blog and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few cards and projects with a motion and fold theme with you! Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, and  there will be some amazing ideas!


I decided to make a folded frame card. Here it is!

I used DCWV paper, and a premade white card for the base. I used 3 stampin up punches, two for the scallop circles, and one that made the bird. I used a $1. stamp from Michaels Crafts and heat embossed the saying. I tried to find a color that matched the bird to pull out the blue, not sure if you can tell in the pic- Its cuter in person. I promise!

If you have gotten this far I want to tell you I have some blog candy!! All you have to do is follow me, leave a comment with your email address, AND have a US shipping address. Sorry guys. Now off you go!

love note for Carter

I have been making layouts for my kids incorporating some of the recent cards I have made. I write a little love note inside, and close it with ribbon or put it in an envelope like I did on Iyla's page. Here is the latest one I've gotten done, for my son Carter. Some day they will take them out of the plastic sleves and open the cards to see what I wrote to them.

After looking at this, I wasnt even sure if I was going to post this layout... I just thought it was missing something... then I figured it out!It was just to empty- So I filled it up... here is the new layout..

Spring!

A quick spring lay out for one of the kids, not sure what one yet... thought I would try to make a few ahead of time so I wouldnt feel so rushed when the weather turns nice and I take the kids out for pictures again.

Iyla Layout

Alright, I cut a few extra owls out yesterday when I was doing the door sign and I couldnt just let them sit... So I made a spring layout for my youngest Iyla, she is 18mo. I might have to make a few more...we'll see.
