Simple but just right!

So I had a request to make a packet of sympathy cards for a friend. I actually had never made a sympathy card before so this was a first! I decided to keep it pretty simple and it worked! I am really happy with how this card turned out. The paper is loose Bazzill cardstock and the flower stamp set is from Stampin' Up as well the sentiment is just an individual acrylic stamp. I think my friend is going to be really happy with them! What do you think?

Gifted to Give

Well last night was my mother in-laws 50th birthday celebration...she was so surprised to see all her friends and family there waiting to celebrate with her! She has forever been complaining that she never has pictures of all her grandkids in her purse to show to people....well I fixed that! For her birthday gift I made her a chipboard brag book album! Needless to say, when she turned the first page over she was brought to tears! It felt good to know that she truly appreciated the gift. For the outside of the album I used some leftover patterened paper from my card kit then mixed up the design for each page on the insde!! I was really happy with how it turned out! Yesterday was such a busy day that we were running late to get there for the big "surprise" so I only managed to snap one quick picture of the album =)

Spookeriffic!!!

This is my little mans first Halloween! Isn't he cute dressed as a bear?? He had a blast wearing his costume and standing in front of the mirror laughing at his reflection! It was so much fun to take him to visit family and friends all dressed up!

Well I have had a couple of requests for specific occasion kits so it was off to Scrappin Great Deals to replenish some stock! I had fun picking out some new patterened paper! Isn't patterened paper fun?? I always feel like a child in the toy section of a shopping store...so much excitement at the selection yet careful consideration of the final choice! I just love all the different designs! Tomorrow is going to be a busy day as I have a project to complete for a birthday gift!!

A new adventure!

So on October 26th I turned 27! Like any other morning I turned on my laptop and checked my e-mail! The first e-mail I read that day was from sparkpeople , at the very top of my birthday wish it read "Don't just count the years, make every year count ~Ernest Meyers" This got me to thinking...I know I am 27 years old now, but am I actually making every year count? The time it took me to ponder this question made me realize that the answer was no! How many days do we just let them pass us by? So for this year, I have decided to go after the true enjoyment of life by making my years count! My personal enjoyment in life comes from magical times spent with family, the fun times spent with friends, and my personal love...stamping and scrapping! I have been told several times that I should "do" something with it! But what to do? Well first off, in all the years that I have been paper crafting, I had yet to actually give away a card! My friend Whitney made me laugh when she told me I had to "cut the cord" LOL!!!!! Well I did it! Our friends just bought a house and I needed a card to go with their gift! So I gave in and made them a card...I was so happy when they both absolutely LOVED it!!! (Sorry I don't have the picture! I will have to make another one and update this post!)

So in making this year count, I am going to "do" something with my passion for paper crafting! That's why I started this blog! I figure I can showcase some work and connect with other stampin/scrappers online!

Welcome =)

Yay! I am so excited that my blog is officially here! After a little bit of hard work, I am very happy how it turned out! =) So I guess this is the perfect time to welcome you to Sugar Daisy! Why Sugar Daisy? Well I was looking for something a little different...you know...'outside the box'! The other day I was looking through my wedding photo album...Yes I did say PHOTO album...**so ashamed** I have yet to scrapbook my wedding! Anyway, while looking through the pictures I came across a picture of my bouquet which was comprised of mostly gerbera daisies..which I Love! This then sent me on a google image hunt and I found this image of the most perfect white gerbera! And for some reason the white made me think of grains of sugar...hmm perhaps needing a chocolate fix??? LOL Anyway I came up with the name of Sugar Daisy and it just stuck!!!! So Sugar Daisy it is =)
