Just popping in today to share some exciting news! The ladies over at Freshly Made Sketches, picked this card as a Perfect Princess winner this week! I am so, so excited. I still consider myself to be a newbie at creating cards on my own and had hoped to one day win such a challenge, [...]

Harry Potter Invitations

OttawaMom — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:32:40 +0000

As I said in a previous post, when I began planning the kids birthday party, I scoured the internet for ideas. The first thing I looked for was ideas for the invitations. There are definitely a lot out there and the majority use the Acceptance Letter Harry received in the first book, informing him that [...]

Freshly Made by My Mini-me

OttawaMom — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:27:22 +0000

When I sit down to craft in my little corner of the house, I am almost always joined by my daughter, who is five. She loves to create things along side me, especially if I let her use my tools and ink pads! She’s been watching me everytime I create a card for a card [...]

Saying Thanks

OttawaMom — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:57:58 +0000

On my way to get my children from school yesterday, I was involved in a car accident – not my fault and only the car got hurt, I’m okay. And if it weren’t for the school’s administrator and Principal, I don’t know what I would have done. The administrator contacted both my children’s teachers to [...]

Mojo Monday

OttawaMom — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:45:59 +0000

Yesterday, I had one of those typical Mondays where if something could go wrong, it did. So at the end of the day, I was super happy to sit down and create a card, using this weeks Mojo Monday sketch. Normally, when I sit down in my little craft corner, to create, my 5 year [...]

Harry Potter 24/7

OttawaMom — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:00:19 +0000

Aside from all of the cake orders I have received over the past couple of weeks (awesome stuff!!), I am also in the throes of party planning for my own two kids. Their birthdays are three weeks apart, one near the end of February and one on St. Patrick’s Day, and normally they would each [...]

A Little Valentine Mashup

OttawaMom — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:00:15 +0000

I am excited to play with this weeks Friday Mashup, since my friend Hayley, from Stampin’ UP! with Hayley Kew, is one of the guest designers this week. For this week’s challenge, we were invited to create a project, not necessarily a card, using the following photo as inspiration. Love is definitely in the air [...]

Freshly Made

OttawaMom — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:26:05 +0000

I went and did it. I found yet another cardmaking/stamping challenge to attempt. I am having so much fun doing these. And it’s also very inspiring to see what other people come up with using the same sketch. It is truly amazing how different they all are. This time I am attempting the sketch at [...]

Mojo Birthday

OttawaMom — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:58:16 +0000

I am back to try my hand at another Mojo Monday card challenge. This weeks challenge: I chose to go with the square sketch, since I usually don’t make square cards. I am so in love with all the new products that are available in the new Sale-a-Bration promotion, that I knew I had to [...]

A Little Cupcake Mashup

OttawaMom — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:07:10 +0000

I’ve been having so much fun designing cards with the weekly sketch from Mojo Monday, that I had to try another challenge. This time it’s the Friday Mashup. This weeks challenge was to make a card using the sketch, or using a new product we hadn’t used before, or making a project combining both. My [...]
