So Sweet

 I'm so excited to now have TWO granddaughters. I already did one album for my first, Mia.  Now, I'm creating her second album and starting the first one for the two month old, Kennedy.  Here are the pages that are also featured on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog this week.


So sweet with the Caterpillar and the Butterfly from the Cute & Whimsical Collection!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Amazing Dad

 I meant to post these yesterday, but then I got very busy celebrating my amazing dad, father-in-law and stepson for Father's Day.


These simple cards were well-received by the recipients and were made with the Elizabeth Craft Designs products mentioned below. Note that the "sentiment" was printed from my computer.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Meeting the New Grand

 My dear hubs and I are so blessed to have a new grand! She's perfect. The other day I created a fun "welcome little one" bee card, so I again used the Bee from the Cute & Whimsical Collection at Elizabeth Craft Designs to create this page for my "him and me" scrapbook that is Planner Essential based in a sidekick size:




What a sweet treasure! I'm so happy to be her Nana. The products I used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below. Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas in May

 Christmas in May?  That's probably not a thing.  What is a thing is this adorable little Fox from Elizabeth Craft Designs!


Last year, I waited until very late to make holiday cards, so I decided I'd get back to making some during the year as I go.  The zig zag is from Borders & Trim in the Everyday Elements Collection available at Elizabeth Craft DesignsElizabeth Craft Designs.  The paper is from Graphic 45.

Fun in Dallas

 My husband bought me a trip to Dallas for Christmas this year.  We went and saw the Sacramento Kings beat the Dallas Mavericks there.  So fun.  I did two sets of pages.  The first is Sidekick-sized that will go into the Adventures of Him and Me album: 



The second one is for my Planner Essentials regular sized album that I have to trips that I have made various places.  



It was a quick trip, but we had an amazing time!

Craftily yours, Karen

Older and Better

I just love this sweet little Caterpillar from the Cute & Whimsical Collection at Elizabeth Craft Designs. The paper is from the new  Harmonious Hodgepodge collection!  (The sentiment isn't a stamp, rather it was a cutout of a paper pack from my stash...)

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today!

Hoppy Birthday Frog

 I am loving the new Cute & Whimsical Collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Today, I put together Freddy the Frog for a Hoppy Birthday card!


The sentiment is also from Elizabeth Craft Designs - from the Jungle Sentiments set.  Most of the paper is from Reminiscence Book 5.  Products are linked up below.  Putting together these critters is so easy when you first use some double sided adhesive before die cutting, at least for the pieces on top!  You can easily find all these products at Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Pink Bee

 My daughter-in-law's baby shower is today. I'm so excited for the new granddaughter that will be coming into my life, and I'm excited to celebrate my daughter-in-law today.  The guests were asked to not wrap all the presents, but I still wanted to make it a little special, so I got a big pink bow and made a pink bee tag!


What?!  Could that pink bee be any cuter?!?  The theme of the shower is "As Sweet As Can Bee" - so it's perfect!  Here it is on the present.  The "My Grandparents Love Me" book is the card.


Thank you for stopping by! Products from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below.

Pastel & Sweet

 Hi Everyone! 

I created the following scrapbook pages using the Cute & Whimsical and the Planner Essentials lines from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  





The pages are part of an album of my granddaughter that I made for my daughter-in-law for Christmas! Her family had gone on this safari, and the Cute & Whimsical line Zebra and Monkeys were perfect in pastel! So fun.  The pictures are a blurred since it's my granddaughter's mom's family, and I didn't want to post their pictures without their permission.  

Craftily yours,  Karen

 I keep a Planner Essentials "Sidekick" scrapbook for my adventures with my dear hubby. One of our 2023 adventures was a road trip with our dog. I'm scrapbooking it for my travel book, but I wanted to also put the adventure into our album.


So much fun using the adorable Liam the Moose (just his head!) as an embellishment.  The supplies I used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below.
