Tie Birthday Card

It is a tie kind of day!  I was needing more masculine cards in my stash, so I whipped up this birthday card with ties and embossed over it all with the Happy Birthday embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  

Thank You Card

I haven't had much time for crafting but couldn't resist making up this cute little thank you card to participate in Freshly Made Sketches for this week's challenge.

   















The design was really fun to work with and made for a quick and easy card.

I will definitely be doing this one again! 

Matchbook Mints (wedding)

My son got married just 2 weeks ago.  One week later, my husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary.  How quickly time goes by.  Seems like WE were just the newlyweds!  Watching him get married to the love of his life was truly one of the best days of my life!

Here are some matchbook mints that I made for the wedding.

These are quick and easy to make.

Cut one piece of cardstock (I used glitter cardstock) 2" x 5"
Score at 4 5/8", 2.5", and 2".
Fold at score lines.
Insert one Lifesaver mint. Line up at the bottom.
Staple through mint and cardstock.
Fold down the top and tuck under the bottom.

Next, I taped on a piece of ribbon cut to size that said "Our Wedding."

They literally only took minutes to make! A quick, easy, and super cute project! I'll be tucking one of these away in the scrapbook along side the pictures with memories of their special day that I will always hold near my heart!
