Hi All!
I know it's been a very long time since I've posted anything fun for you to look at, so I thought I'd pop in and share with you a little of what I have been working on.
In between kids school, family, and life in general, I have gotten quite a few orders for custom notebooks and that's what has been keeping me busy.
Here are a few notebooks that I completed this past month.
I have a local lady who loves to give my custom notebooks as birthday gifts for all the parties that her kids are invited to. Apparently, her kids are getting more invitations since they started giving these gifts! LOL!!
In honor of National School Nurse Day, this nursing notebook was requested and I love how it turned out!
And, for Teacher Appreciation Week, a couple of notebooks for teachers.
I do love making these notebooks and I especially love seeing the face on the little girls who get to give them as gifts!
Every notebook includes a bookmark and a custom matching pen.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
If you are ever interested in a custom notebook for yourself, your kids, friends or anything at all, just email me and I can make one for you, too!
Hiya!!
Today is new release day at Meljen's Designs and we have 3 brand new yummy cupcakes for you!
Is it adorable?? I couldn't decide what color to use for the cupcake wrapper, so I asked Emily, and she said "Gold, of course, Mommy!" So, a gold wrapper, it is! I love it when my little girl is in the craft room crafting with me!
Challenges to play along with:

After being sick for 2 weeks with the mother of all colds, I was struggling to get a gift together for Hubby for Valentine's Day.
Safeway to the rescue with some yummy candy bars that just needed a little dressing up:
A favorite Saturated Canary image, paired with a new pinwheel die and some fun letters brought this simple little gift together.
Hubby's a happy boy :)
Entering this into the LOVE challenge over at
Saturated Canary <3 p="">

Here's little card I made...
On Facebook, I've been reading a lot about the stippled background technique. I've done it before, but not a lot, so I thought I'd give it another go! Hope you like it!
Challenges for Today:
We're getting TINY at Meljen's Designs this week!
Our challenge for you is to make INCHIES - one or many, just make sure they're small!
Here's a Windswept Diva card that I made, turning a regular sized digi into inchies:
It's a little different, but I think I like it!
Come join us for our challenge this week, I think you'll like it, too!

It's new challenge time at Meljen's Designs and I know I haven't been playing along lately. So sad... :( But, here I am with a cute Snowman Cupcake card to go into our Anything Goes challenge!
I made today's card from scraps that were laying on my desk after making this custom order notebook for a customer:
I love the papers in this collection and I was excited to use them again to make this card:
I am really quite pleased with this one!
I hope you like it as well, and I look forward to seeing you in our Anything Goes challenge this week!

Just a quick post today, since I haven't posted in a while! :( Sorry about that!
Here are some baby cards that I made a little bit ago, I think they turned out pretty adorable! I just LOVE the pre-colored images from Meljen's Designs! They make for such quick and cute cards!
Challenges:
I have a friend who comes over about once a month to use my craft room to work on her scrapbooks. It's a great time for me to just sit and color and chat! So, last week while she was here, I colored up this beautiful Saturated Canary image. Wow, that's a lot of hair! I really had no idea what to do with it all, since I'm not all that confident in my hair coloring. But, I think she looks pretty hot! Haha!
So, I wanted her to be the highlight of the card, so I tried not to use too much color. I embossed the background and used one of my Copics to color the edges instead of matting on colored paper. Then, I thought maybe some ribbon and sparkle would add a nice finishing touch. Needed a sentiment that went with her markers and between the 2 I had picked out, my daughter liked this one best.
Challenges to enter:
I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week... where did the month go? Seriously, where did the YEAR go??
So many things have happened this year, and although the last few months have been incredibly depressing with the passing of my Dad, I still have so much to be thankful for.
Shortly after my Dad passed, my neighbors brought over a homemade apple pie. It was so sweet of them and the pie was delicious. I did give them a thank you card at the time, but I thought of them as I made this simple card this afternoon.

Here's a Halloween card that I made while visiting my Mom last weekend. I wanted to try out this window idea that I'd seen around and I think it turned out pretty cool. It was pretty easy, too!

I had bought a necklace for my daughter and it was a bit long, so I cut it down and saved the extra chain. I decided to use it on the card and I love the way it looks!
Sending this one off to my brother for Halloween, hope he likes it! He was "helping" me with a card at Mom's house a few weeks ago and giving me a hard time about white space! I kept trying to put more stuff on my card and he kept telling me to leave it alone! The card turned out pretty great, though, with his help! I'll have to get that one posted soon, too!
Thanks for visiting!
Here are some challenges for today:
Hello! It feels good to be blogging again!
Here's another fun Halloween card that I made recently. This one uses a cute new(er) Meljen's Designs image "Witchy Cat". I still have TONS of leftover black burlap from a wreath project last Halloween, and I'm having a lot of fun using little bits of it on my cards.
