Meowser

How many of you  know that I'm a cat person? Perhaps you've seen my Facebook photo posts of our youngest kitty, Oreo? He's such a clown that we're always grabbing the camera to take his picture! 

SEI's September Cardmaking Kit has been a favorite of mine because of all the funny cats and animals included in the kit, like this top hat kitty with a neck tie. 

To see the entire card and more, click here  and here to go to the SEI blog. Don't worry if you aren't a cat person...there's plenty of dogs and woodland creatures in the kit too! ;)

SEI September Cardmaking Kit

Have you seen SEI's September Cardmaking Kit? It's the cutest kit ever loaded with lots of adorable pets and woodland critters! I had the best time playing with all the mix and match pieces that allowed me to put mustaches on cats and top hats on pups! 

Here's a little peek at a package I spruced up with the kit. Click here to see the entire project.

I also made a couple owl cards for you...you can view them on this post. 

What is it about owls that so many of us are drawn to? Is it there big round eyes? I don't know, but I find them quite fascinating! 

T.G.I.F!

It's a typical Friday morning here at the Martin house...Christopher went off to school (year-round), Dan is taking a spin on the treadmill and I'm about to go grocery shopping. We're creatures of habit with regular routines. How about you? 

Do you have any special plans for the weekend? Any birthday's or special occasions to celebrate? Recently I created a colorful pinwheel display with SEI Lifestyles' July Cardmaking Kit that can be used for any number of celebrations. 

Here's a little look see. For more photos and project instructions click here to visit the SEI blog. 

Have a great weekend! 

Crafty Sharing

T.G.I.F! It's been a busy week with all the Reverse Confetti releases and blog hop! Thank you all for participating! Today I have many more projects to share with you from Bella Blvd, SEI and Pebbles so lets get started, shall we? 

First up are a couple cards created with Bella Blvd's brand new mini collections. This 'Hello Summer' design was made with the Summer Squeeze line.

(Buy Now - $4.99)

This floral paper, Pocket full of Posies, is my new favorite! I adore the way the black background makes the flowers pop and the reverse side is equally awesome with the scripted 'hello' print! 

Next up is a 'happy' little card created with the new Scattered Sprinkles collection. It's like confetti and cupcake sprinkles all rolled into one! 

(Buy Now - $4.99)

These new collections will be shipping to retailers in just a few short days so keep a look out for them! To see more What's New Wednesday projects, hop over to the Bella Blvd. blog and take a look.

As you know, this weekend is Mother's Day! Yay! The boys are taking me strawberry picking. I love the drive out to the farm, spending time with my boys and stuffing my face with fresh, organic strawberries and ice cream! 

Speaking of Mother's Day, this week on the Pebbles blog I made a simple last minute gift idea for you. 

Ooh la la...just look at these pretty papers! Hope you have a moment or two to check it out . And I hope all you moms have a lovely Mother's Day!
