Papercraft Haven and More

I am a procrastinator...not sure where I got it from, but I take my time in getting things done!  I hate that about myself too...  So, to change that (one of my intentions for next year) I decided to spend some time in making birthday cards for my own friends and family for next year!  I don't want to have to worry about not having a birthday card to mail or give away!  Some will be customized to the recipient, others...just ready to go if I need one!   Your challenge for today: Start to make a list of cards you want to make and for whom.  If you have a specific example for someone, sketch it out or link it up somehow! Get the supplies you need to create your cards available in one place.  Find the background papers, get the cards ready to go and folded!   Start to look at examples of cards you want to make and sketch them out or link them up!   I have a lot of birthday's this year...and no matter what, everyone will...

Okay but this little guy is just the cutest baby I have EVER seen!!!  I'm a little biased being one of his "nana's"...but he is pretty damn cute if you ask this one!!!  It's nice getting along with Megan's mom - and getting fun pictures posted for us on Facebook since we don't live where they all do and all!  Karson is our youngest grandson, Megan's 4th (and last) child!   Since he loves Thomas the Train, my husband decided to get him this fun little train for his first birthday - it lights up and talks and everything!!!  His birthday card, was so much fun for me to make - using the cupcake punch by EKSuccess - in more "boy" colors, and since he turned one, he got "one" cupcake!!!  A simple happy birthday punch off to the side, with a scrap of striped paper for the background!  This was a more simple card to do, but turned out cute with the colors I used!   The best thing about using punches and stamps - you can customize each...

I had a 3 day weekend recently...and had to get a few VERY LATE birthday cards done, and the Halloween can & cards I shared the past couple of days!!!  They needed to get in the mail, and sent when we actually had money to send them!  I totally love how each of them turned out, and you now get 4 days worth of my cute grand-kids and their birthday card I made for each of them!   Now, this is Braxton...  He is the oldest of 4 kids, and the oldest grandchild!  When he was younger, he would come over to our house when we lived in the same area,  I discovered he ate Oreo cookies just like his Grandpa Del!  Being just a little guy about 18 months old, he would eat the middles, and then he would stick the cookie part under his butt...when he stood up - there was all these cookies...minus the middles!  That has been the funnest memory I have of him and being just like my husband!!!  Braxton has 2 little sisters and a little brother!  ...
