Milk Carton Star box

I've seen a few of these boxes and had to try one for myself! It's a darling box made with the milk carton die. All you do is cut two dies out, cut off one side of each die (the side that doesn't have the tab), stick them together and WALA! Cutest box ever! When I decided to make this I grabbed what paper was closest, retired paper. Don't worry, I'll make plenty with current paper. :) Might I also add that the "Merry Christmas" on the tag is made with the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set that I won from So Shelli's Creative Challenge with this post. Love free stuff!

Happy "I Do" day!

A few weeks ago we went to the Outer Banks for a wedding of a good friend. We went a couple days early and enjoyed time together as a family. It was fun to have a vacation before Carston started school.

Races a Jockey's Ridge

Her colors were teal and silver and everything looked so pretty! I made this card to match her colors.

Cute kids after the wedding

Just for fun!

It's been a while since I've sat down and played for fun. I made these cards for an open house I had and I'm happy with the way they turned out. I can't wait to spend more time card making and less time vacuuming. (Okay really! I've never vacuumed so much in my life until we put our home on the market. Hopefully it's worth it!)
