Heart Photo Shoot - Cookie Card Challenge

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Sorry for the late post but I guess better late than never. :) It's that time of the month where I choose one of her cookies to try and recreate into a card and she makes a cookie based off of one of my cards. I saw this super cute cookie that I thought would be perfect for my dad's Valentine's card. You can see her post HERE.

She called them Photo Booth Cookies and I just loved the different ways the hearts are placed.  Here is my card based off of those cookies:

So funny note on that random dark dot on the white heart.  I grabbed my red pen (according to the red cap) and made a dot.  It was green.  The red cap was on the green pen and vice versa.  What's funny about this is I knew immediately who did it.  My nephew Cole likes to use my markers and pens and he is Red/Green color blind.  :)  It runs in the family.  My grandpa, brother and 4 of my nephews are Red/Green color blind.  So I've run across this before.  :)  So he thought he put them on correctly because he couldn't tell the difference.  It was really funny and now there is a cute story to go w/ the card.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to Georgeanne's blog, LilaLoa, to see what she made.  They are adorable!  :)

Not a Winter Card - Heart Bouquet

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Today is the Cookie Card Challenge. I was looking through Georgeanne's cookie blog, LilaLoa, trying to decide on a cookie to remake into a card. I decided on a Valentines theme because I am already over Winter.  I am definitely looking forward to a little warmer weather and a color other than grey.  :)  Plus, my favorite color is Red so it was a no brainer for me.  :)

Here is the cookie that I chose to recreate.  I'm not going to lie, I can't remember if I've already recreated this one before or not but it spoke to me so I didn't care.  lol  You can find her blog post on these cookies HERE.

Here is the card that I made.  It's a long card which works perfectly with this design.  My only thing I wish I changed is adding more stems and having them more "loose" looking.  But all in all I love it.

I love the DCWV glitter yardstick.  It is so shiny and pretty.  :)  Here is a side view:

I also added a frame and heart in the inside:

Thanks for stopping by!  This was a simple card but it was a lot of fun and I love it.  :)  Be sure to stop by Georgeanne's blog, LilaLoa, to see what she made.

Special Happy Birthday Card

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Today I made a card off of some cookies my cousin made.

So what makes this a Special birthday card? The cookies I chose are from the COVER of her COOKIE BOOK!!! How AWESOME is that???? Here is the cover:

You can also buy her book, which is a Top 5 cookie book w/ Amazon by the way, on her blog: http://www.lilaloa.com

Here is the card that I made off of those cookies:

It's a simple card but I thought turned out cute.  I still feel like there is still too much white space but I didn't know what else to add.  Maybe I should have chosen a designer paper for the background instead of all white.  Next time...  :)

Happy Fall, Pumpkin! - Cookie Card Challenge

Happy Fall Crafters & Bakers! Today is the cookie card challenge. It's the day that helps me craft each month. I've been in a bit of a crafting lull. I have done some cards but haven't posted them on my blog yet. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Anyway...

If you aren't familiar with this challenge I choose one of my cousins cookies, LilaLoa, to make a card off of and she chooses one of my paper craft projects to make a cookie. The following are the cookies I'm making my card off of. I just love the wavy lines, colors, and spaces in between everything. It's a classy looking pumpkin.  You can find more about her post HERE.

Here is the card that I made based on those cute pumpkins.  It's a simple card but it's perfect for a friend, neighbor, etc type of card.  I used a banner cut to slice the pumpkin in two so it would have the curve like her pumpkin cookies.

Be sure to stop by my cousins blog, LilaLoa, to see what she made!
