"We've Moved!" Announcements

Part of me still wishes that it was me saying "We've Moved!"

but alas... it is not.

My step-brother and his wife just bought their first home, though, and I'm super excited for them.

My mom, being the fabulous paper crafter that she is, made them some announcements to send out,

and they turned out super cute.

The first is one that my mom made a draft.

That's right, folks. Not only does my make cards for us

she makes multiple variations and we usually get to pick our favorites.

Anyway, this one was my vote.

It should really be noted that I had no vote... this one was just my favorite so I wanted to share. :)

You know I'm a stickler for twine.

And look! Matching envelope... so good. so good.

The second with the keys is the one that Daryl and Christie chose.

The crazy detail of the cut outs on skeleton keys is insane, trust me.

Both are so different and so great, right?

In other news, the doc says any day now for baby two to make his appearance, so I'm making no promises for frequency of posts.

I know, as if I ever do.

Bridal Luncheon Invite + Thank You Card

 

 

 

 

and now for the newest installation of “Meg is busy doing random things, so here’s something her mom made”

 

 

 

 

yes yes. More cards from my mom. She is so talented with the paper-crafting, I can’t help myself, ya know?

 

 

 

 

 

First off, this super cute thank you card.

 

 

 

My mom has a knack for making thank you cards for people that are exactly his/her taste. Now, that, is the gift-giving love language, am I right???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a thank you card for me since I gave her a divided fabric basket for Mother’s Day (made from this awesome pattern by noodlehead) to hold her paper-crafting materials.

 

 

Did you get that? I made her something to hold the things that she makes, so she made me this card to thank me for the thing that I made. I love my family.

 

 

 

 

 

And next up, this super intense bridal luncheon invite which she made to semi-match the bride’s invitations and wedding colors.

 

The front. So classy.

The band with the text slides off so you can open the invitation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The back (with the bride’s monogram).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The inside

with pull cards for the details and RSVP information.

 

 

 

Super cute, right?

 

 

 

 

Great job once again, mom!

And I CANNON WAIT to share more of the wedding details from Amy’s wedding! We’ve helped her design the invites and lots of other pretty details like the place cards and programs! so stay tuned! :)

Valentine's Cards

I've mentioned many times before that my mom is the best.

She is especially gifted when it comes to paper crafting.

One of the top benefits of her friendship (and daughterhip?) is receiving her handmade cards on holidays.

So I just wanted to stop in today to share her Valentine's cards that we received yesterday.

One for Ben with super cute heart balloons.

I especially love the bicycle image.

And one for Chris and me

with a cool pop out heart banner.

Thanks, Mom!

And

Happy Valentine's Day

to the rest of you crazy kids.

Reason #523 That My MOTHER...

My mom's V Day card to Ben

... should be the one with the blog.

You "color my world... with joy and happiness."

I mean, come on.

This is so stink in' cute

AND GUESS WHAT THESE ARE????

that I'm tempted to keep these bath crayons for myself

to create a mural on our shower wall.

bath crayons. yes really. She's the best.

Happy Valentine's Day, Mom!

Clearly, you're the BEST.
