Baby Shower Gift

Here is a gift I made for my boyfriends sister. She is having a baby named Kaleigh in a few days and they hung this right over her crib :)

Mother's Day Card

I am aware that I haven't posted in a while!!! I've been so busy with school!! At least now I have a second to post some of my crafts :) Here is the mothers day card I made for my mama. (Yes, I'm aware that was about a month ago!) Eek!

Holy Mackrel

I know it's been a while since I've crafted, but I've been super busy with homework. Soooo....I made a birthday card for my friend to give to her dad. He's a fisherman, who loves the colors red and black...what do you think??

**The image looks a little discolored, but the card, as well as the paper with letters is white.

Nuts & bolts

I hate when that happens.

Challenges for 2011

My personal challenges for 2011:

My challenge is to get all of my craft supplies organized in an efficient and effective manner, to actually stay organized and to find inspiration in my everyday life.

Sometimes my life can become one big routine and even though it can be boring at times, it's still a beautiful thing! I want to recognize that, recreate that and display it through my crafts, photography, cards, scrapbooking, etc.

Join me in being inspired by the life God has blessed each one of us with :)

Christmas song challenge
