Well, April has started. Is it crazy that we are already four months into the year? Spring has sprung, the weather is warming up (hallelujah, I do not like the cold at all!), and I will have a teenager by the end of the month. Yes, my baby girl, no longer a baby but forever my baby girl will turn 13. How is this possible? Time is a funny thing, especially as we get older. That’s one thing I have a hard time explaining to any of my girls, time. It seems to go at a snails pace at their age. For me, wasn’t I just bringing her home from the hospital? The day I gave birth to her is still fresh in my head, her first day of kindergarten is right there, just like it was yesterday. Her love of sports starting with cheer and seeing the “big” girls cheering on that first day of school and counting down the days when she was old enough to be a cheerleader. Sofia has never been afraid to do and try new things. Her love of sports, in one year playing volleyball, soccer, and basketball.

We were at the grocery store recently and she was going through the cake options. She pointed out a cake she wanted for her birthday. As soon as I saw it I got super, super excited! I don’t think she understood exactly why her mom was going nuts. Why you ask? It was the color and theme of the cake ~ Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I LOVE the color scheme and immediately my brain went to work on what I could do for invites, favors, and decorations for the party.

These invites by far are my favorite! I love the color and how great they turned out They are simple, but elegant. Not too old, just right for my beautiful daughter hitting one of the big milestone of birthdays.

I am so glad you stopped by. Please feel free to share my page or leave some love in the comments.

Just a quick note to say Hi and hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day and are enjoying your three day weekend!

My weekend started off by going to a workshop, Cupid’s Workshop to be exact! A bunch of crafters got together and made handmade Valentine’s to take to our Senior Citizens in the area! I pre cut a few cards out to be a little more prepared, not to mention two out of the four girls tagged along.

My favorite card, so cute and so simple! I used the Love Bug Folder card, you can get the file here!
With a little sticker bling, some pop dots I am sure this made someones day!

I came across this card this week on Pinterest! Everyone who knows me knows how excited I get over crafting and creating! When I saw this mailbox I knew I had to have the file! It’s almost like it spoke to me “Andrea, please make me, make me!!”… LOL Handmade cards are so much fun to make and to receive! This is part of a kit over at SVG Cuts, it’s the Hearts Aflame Box Cards, you can get yours here! I can’t wait to share the rest of the kit with everyone!

For the mailbox card, I used a little bit of everything. I had some paper from My Minds Eye and one of my favorite card stock is the Recollection from Michaels. It is not too thick and it is not too thin, perfect for scrapbooking and card making. One of my favorite tools for putting adhesive on the tiny parts is my Xyron Sticker Maker…If you have never used one, you need to have this in your tools. You won’t regret it! Feel free to add a note and share your thoughts! I’d lover to hear from you!!
