Lisa’s Handmade Cards

There are so many babies that have just arrived or are about to come. Last night I whipped out my New Arrival cartridge. It has so many adorable cuts that I just have never used before. I have so many more I can’t wait to cut out and ink up! The sentiment I stamped years ago using one of my mothers stamps. I believe it is a Inkadinkado but don’t quote me on that. The patterned paper is from BasicGrey.

I’ve had a few ladies e-mail me asking if my cards are for sell. By all means, If you see a card you’d like to own please e-mail me at lisasummerhays[@]gmail[dot]com. I won’t be taking special orders and I only have one of each card shown.

I am entering this card into the following contests-

Crafty Creations- stitching

ABC Challenge- O is for one paper

Our Creative Corner- something old that’s new

Project #16

I whipped up a couple of paper pieced animals today. Shown are two new ones. the unicorn is supposed to have a “stuffed” look. The bear is from myscrapchick. You can find the pattern here.

Here are my son’s birth announcements. As you can see he is now three months old. My goal was to have them ready before he arrived but then he came three weeks early. I’ll just pat myself on the back for getting them done  at all.

The little boy is a Whipper Snapper stamp. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. It’s one a.m. and I’m too tired/lazy to go check everything else.

I’m entering this little bit of fabulousness into the following challenges:

Simon Says- New Baby

Practical Scrappers- Patterned Paper

I finally finished my first round of baby thank you cards. I had multiple ideas so I decided to make three different designs. I hope to get the others done soon. I used a Penny Black stamp.

I’m entering this card into the Stamp Something Challenge- thank you something.

I’m a little swamped right now so I didn’t think I’d have time to get a card up for the next few days however, I couldn’t sleep last night so I used my time wisely (in my opinion). I made this card following the sketch challenge this week for Mojo Monday. The stamp is by Whipper Snapper and both patterned papers are from Making Memories. I used my Prismacolor markers to color the image which has 3D elements as well.

My dear husband is working on giving my site a face lift. Hopefully there will be some more color up soon. I am super excited to have my new logo up for all to see!! I love it! I have business cards on the way too that I will send out with my invitation/card orders. A fabulous designer who happens to be an old dear friend put a lot of talent and thought into it.
