Ok, so I never really went anywhere, I’ve just been ignoring my blog for the last six months. I’ve made some new goals for this year though.
With all that being said, here is one of my favorite cards that I made in 2012.
Come back tomorrow for my challenge cards I made!
My mom gave me the idea of making cards using index cards. I made a set of 3 and here are the results.

Hexagons seems to be the latest craze in the crafting world lately. I’m usually not one to jump on the latest thing, but I really like the look of hexagons. A couple of months ago I purchased the hexagon dies from Lifestyle Crafts. Here are a few cards I’ve created with the dies.
First up is a graduation card a friend asked me to make for her sister. The school colors are navy and light blue and her sister was on the soccer team.
In this card, I cut out hexagons from patterned paper in the Summer’s End pad by Fancy Pants.
Last up is a set of four mini hexagon cards with matching envelopes. The paper is from the Linen Closest collection by DCWV.
Here are some pics of Easter cards/baskets for my niece and nephews.

I’m playing along with Papertrey Ink’s blog hop this month. Below is the inspiration picture this month. This challenge was pretty easy for me because this is one of my favorite color combinations.

A quick update today with a Valentine’s day card. I used the Fancy Flourishes stamp set and Beautiful Blooms II die #1 from Papertrey Ink. After cutting the flowers, I spritzed them with Glimmer Mist and added the brad.

This month my favorite stamp company, Papertrey Ink, is celebrating their 5th anniversary. Over the next ten days they will be announcing what’s coming up in the new year, giving sneak peeks of the new products this month, and having several giveaways!
Today’s challenge is to pick one of the team members favorite projects and use as inspiration for our own creation. I chose the project from Maile Belles. All of her clean and simple creations inspire me. Here is Maile’s card:
