Wow, I cannot believe it is Friday already. This week just flew by. I thought I would share a few projects that I worked on over the last week or so.
This is a simple scrapbook page that I did in response to an ad challenge on the Simple Studio Blog. I was actually inspired by a gift bag I saw at Hallmark, so I thought that was close enough.
This is a card I made for our neighbor. She turned 13 last week...a teenager now! She is so sweet and always takes interest in my scrapbooking projects. She is also a great help to me and visits often and plays with the boys.
Yet another birthday card, following my simple scheme that always saves me when I'm in a rush. This Cheeky Line of paper by Making Memories is one of my favorites. I love the color scheme and the funky flowers.
And this is a simple thank you card that I made.
It appears that spring is going to finally join us here in the Northeast. We are supposed to reach temperatures in the 70s. We are so excited and are looking forward to spending time outside. Have a wonderful weekend!




Already commented on your page on 2peas, but I'll give you a double dose. Too cool! Love all the circles. I am really bad about zooming, so I have no photos I could even crop that close.
I'm getting better due to the fact that I love journaling on photos. Trying to quit with all the zooming.
Love the cards, too. I'm still one to let Hallmark do all the work...

you are so talented! Love the circle card :) So my style.
But, those other cards are beautiful too. hhmm, I guess I have to say I love them all. How lucky are the people to get them!
Move over Hallmark, I think Melissa's cards are better!
Have a great weekend! The gang of kids are playing outside finally!

That layout is pure perfection Mel! How did you do the circles?? Also love all the cards, esp. the one with the 'cheeky' pp- I've never bought it but now I'm thinking I need it, lol.
Hope your weekend was as warm as ours here, we had shorts on!!! Spent both days cleaning the yard, hard work, but felt great to be outside.
