Happy 3rd Birthday Amber!

I have no idea where the last 3 years have gone!  It seems like just yesterday that I drove to my daughter's house to look after Sierra and Brooke while she and hubby rushed to the hospital for Amber's birth.  In reality; Amber's birthday isn't until next month - Nov. 2nd to be exact.

Here are some pictures of my youngest granddaughter Amber Jordan:

Amber is always really happy to see us when we visit and makes a beeline for me and hugs my legs before I get a chance to pick her up.  She gives the best hugs and kisses and is so much fun.  She never sits still and my daughter and son-in-law have given up trying to get her to sit at the dinner table.  She is very active but will come back to the table, have a few bites and then she's off again.  She eventually eats all her dinner.  She loves making cards with me and she loves to play board games and do puzzles.  She is a whiz at playing games on the IPAD and could teach me a thing or two about the Ipad.

Here is the card I made for her:

I did something totally different with her card that I have never ever done before.  There is no stamping on this card at all!  I simply cut different elements from a 6 x 6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye titled Hootenanny which is chock full of birthday papers.  I also used ribbons, flat rhinestones for bling and an edge punch.  If you look closely, you will be able to see the embossing on this edge punch from Spellbinders.  A few circle punches and scallop circle punches with the fussy cut cupcakes which was popped up on 3D stickers.  I am very happy with how this card turned out and I'm sure Amber will just love it.

I need to put together some card kits so that Brooke and Sierra can make her a card as well.  I will also put together a card kit for Amber so she can make a card for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine cards & boxes & Mojo 226

Here are 2 more valentine cards and boxes I made for my granddaughters.

The 1st card I made was inspired by the Mojo Monday Challenge blog.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

I chose to make the square card.  Papers are by Heidi Grace and the striped paper is on the reverse side of the paper on top. I punched the sentiment (SU) on a scallop square which was popped up.  The crocheted flowers are from my stash as is the ribbon, heart charm (made with love) and the flat maroon pearls.  I heat embossed the SU heart and punched it out with a heart punch from Marvy which is just the right size for the heart stamp.  My card size is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.  This card will be going to one of my granddaughters.

Here is another card I made today for another one of my granddaughters:

Needless to say, I love this SU stamp. I heat embossed it and the centre heart is on the inside.  I punched out a heart on the cover of the card, distressed the edges with rose red ink from Versa,  added some flat clear rhinestones and the heart ribbon is from Michaels.

I also made some treat boxes for the girls:  

I watched this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  The boxes did not take very long to make.  I used a MS heart punch, ribbon and flat back pearls. The card stock is Cherry Cobbler from SU (love this colour!).  I plan to fill the boxes with some Hershey Kisses. 

Last but not least here is a picture of my 3 adorable granddaughters:

Brooke (4 1/2; Amber 15 mos. & Sierra 6 1/2)

This picture was taken in the summer. They sure keep their parents hopping! They were all sick last week but are all feeling better now.  I will be taking some paper craft supplies to their house on Saturday so the 2 oldest (Sierra & Brooke) can make some valentine cards.  I've got valentine stickers, glittery heart foam stickers and ink and sentiments.  I expect we will have loads of fun!
