Card For My Brother

Here is the birthday card I me my brother.

Happy 25th Birthday Patrick!

Okay so 25 years ago today my world changed forever. I was 4 years old and I was the center of my parents and sister’s world and then March 17, 1984 it happened. My mom had a baby boy and all my attention gone. Not only was my attention gone but I did not grow 2 feet to be as tall as my 11 year old sister and my parents did not take my suggestion on naming my new little brother Michael Jackson. Instead since my new little brother was born on St. Patrick’s Day they named him Patrick Daniel Scherder. Although Patrick did take all my attention away and we did spend most of our child hood beating each other up (okay well me beating him up) I am very grateful for my wonderful brother. He is turned into a wonderful man who is a great brother and a wonderful uncle. Happy 25th Birthday Patrick! We love you so much. Enjoy the pictures down memory lane.

How handsome!

Nice Alf shirt. The 80's were awsome!

A Few Cards

Here are a few cards I made last week. I hope you like them.

Three new layouts

Here are some more layouts for Hailey's scrapbook. I used three different Simply Scrappin' kits from Stampin' UP.

The May layout was made using the Sunsine Garden Simply scrappin' kit on page 164 in the 2009 spring-summer idea book & catalog.

The February layout was made using the Love Sparkles Simply scrappin' kit on page 163 in the 2009 spring-summer idea book & catalog.

The 1st birthday layout was made using the Best Ever Simply scrappin' kit on page 163 in the 2009 spring-summer idea book & catalog.

If you would like to order any of the Simply scrappin' kits you can click the Shop now button here on the blog or you can contact me by email at aehuse@verizon.net.

A couple of cards, home décor and a dance video

I made a couple of cards this week. My new stamps arrived today and I plan to play with them this weekend so hopefully I will have a lot more to show you in a few days but for now here are the two cards I made.

Card stock - Basic black and pink pirouette

Stamp set - Its beautiful jumbo wheel

Accessories - Kewi kiss/very vanilla satin ribbon, fleurettes, and bling brad

Card stock - pink pirouette, riding hood red, & chocolate chip

DSP - Candy Lane

Stamp set - Upsy Daisy

Accessories - Stampin' Up texturz plates backrounds I, and 5/8" pink pirouette striped grosgrain ribbon

Also I got the level two home décor hostess gift and this is what it looks like on my wall. I really like it a lot.

Last but not least here is a video of Madelyn dancing to her favorite song Single Ladies by Beyonce. She loves this song and as you can see she loves to dance to it.

Valentine's

I have finished all my Valentine's and gifts for Kayla's teachers. What do you think?

I made these mailboxes for Kayla's teachers. I stuffed them with a note pad, a pen, and small box of chocolates.

This card is for Denno

More Layouts

Here are some more layouts that I have been working on. I am out of Simply Scrappin' Kits so it will be a while before I can do more layouts. I am kind of sad about this because even though it takes me like 4 hours to do one I have really been enjoying it.
