I’ve now made several wedding cards with a similar theme. These are really fun, because you can use fancier paper than most cards are made out of. I will be a little sad when my last single friends are married and I don’t get to make so many wedding cards. Read more →

May Flowers…I hope…
This month Jason went on a school trip to Cambodia and Singapore. It took me a few days to adjust to having him gone, and then a few days to adjust to having him back. It seems like he had a good time. When he finishes his entry for the monthly cousin blog we submit I’ll post it on here.… Read more →
I’m getting a neice!
A simple card for a baby shower. LOVE these notecards with the border, and love even more I had paper to match for the stroller. I’m a soon-to-be aunt. Imagine that! Read more →
Congratulations!
I made this card initially for a wedding shower, then fell in love with it and made several more. My favorite part? The flowers are dimensional and the yellow middle part of the flower spins! Read more →
April Showers!
Despite the wet and crazy weather we’ve had these past few weeks, this month has been all about gardening. I will include lots of pictures at the end of all this. I cleaned out all of our flowerbeds which involved weeding out about a trash barrel full of grape hyacinth plants and bulbs (not exaggerating). Yuck! I also planted some… Read more →

What was I thinking?
It started simply enough. While craft-store shopping in November, I decided that for Christmas, I would make the moms and grandmas calendars. I soon realized I would need to make several calendars…like 5. I then realized it was already November and I had about 4 weeks to get stuff done. I began to question how much I… Read more →
Well that was silly…
Christmas 2009. The year of the snowflake. I was inspired to make these after purchasing a new snowflake shape cartridge for my cricut. Each of these beauties was 3 layers of paper, and I wrote “Merry Christmas 2009” and signed our names on the back. They were beautiful, but I’m not afraid to admit that after I got more than… Read more →
Christmas Time! (Jason’s Letter)
I’m going to cheat a bit, and first post the letter Jason wrote to include in our Christmas cards this year: Greetings! This has been a very full year for the newly established Baxter family. The largest event of the year was our wedding. We were able to introduce many members of Steph’s family to the joys of Utah. Rumors… Read more →
