Curious George First Birthday

I was thrilled to design and create invitations, Thank You cards, stickers, and a banner for my nephew's First Birthday!

The theme was baby Curious George and I really love the way everything came out!

Welcome Baby Aaron John!

Just to give you a little idea about how busy I have been now that Aaron (AJ) has joined the family: He will be 6 months old tomorrow and I am just sitting down to write this post!!!

AJ joined us on December 28, 2011 and is such a sweet little boy!

He and his big sister Emma have kept me busy!! I haven't been able to create much and have really missed it. I took on a few jobs from family and a few local people and really hope to get up and running again soon.

I may start taking easy jobs if I am given lots of time to create them!

In the mean time I am going to be updating this blog a bit and sharing some photos of the projects I have been working on!

A big ole pile of SCRAP!!

Okay, I have to admit I am a craft Hoarder!!

I stockpile paper, ribbon and other supplies!
 I can't go into a craft store without buying several things I don't need at the moment just because they are on sale and I might need them someday.
I even save the scraps of paper from other projects because you never know when I am going to need it.
My intention is to make something with all of the extra paper and ribbon - I just haven't gotten around to it - Until now!!!
I have decided that I can't allow myself to buy anything new until I deal with the pile of scrap that has become my craft room!!

First things first -  assemble piles of like paper

Next step - use the pile of scrap to make new beautiful things!!
Let's start with this pretty paper that I used to make these cards several years ago!!

Pretty little pile of scrap:

So I took this paper and some matching solid bluish turquoise paper and I made these:

And I really used up as much of the paper as I possibly could:

So what the heck is it you might ask!?

They are small sets of stationary - perfect for Etsy shop owners!!! 

Set includes:

Business Card Sized envelopes 

Matching little Cards for inside the envelopes

Matching Sticker Seals to close up the envelope

The little envelopes can hold business cards, the little matching notes and more:

Matching Notes: 

Matching Sticker Seals:

I LOVE the way these turned out and I love that I am FINALLY using up all of the scraps that I have been meaning to do something with!!!! 

I made a black and white set too and have tons more coming!!

Stay tuned for more Piles of SCRAP!!!
