Another baby card-tee hee!!!

Hey hey hey!!

Well if you've read my blog in the past you will know that I LOVE MAKING BABY CARDS!! No clue why....it just makes me happy :)

My friend is expecting her first baby in January and this is the shower card I made for her. It's hard because we don't know the gender of her baby so I tried to remain neutral. I did use some retired SU DSP (Cottage Wall???? was that the name of it?) along with the Fox and Friends (current) stamp set. Super cute set!! I hope she likes the card...I'm dying to know what she and her hubby are having. The suspense is killer!!

Well, go on and enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for poppin' by.

Wedding Congrats!

Hello all!!

Hope your week is off to a good start! It's November 9th ALREADY and I'm just wondering....where did time go? Christmas will be here before we know it and I promised myself that this year I will not be in the mall on Christmas eve! Let's see if I can stay true to that promise!!

So today's card is meant to be a wedding card. My husband and I went to a wedding on the weekend and their colours were black and white. I decided to make a card to match that theme (I did use Very Vanilla--a little less stark than white). Do you like??? It's simple (my 5 year old was helping me....she loves the Big Shot so I was sure to use an embossing folder!) yet elegant don't you think?

Well, enjoy the rest of your week but I promise I'll be back.
Take care.

Congratulations

Hello all:

So there are a couple of us in our household that are under the weather. Including me of course. I have 9 girls coming over tonight for my Christmas stamp a stack and wouldn't you know I'm sick :( Never fails I tell ya. I will post some of those cards over the next few days. I have another 11 ladies coming next week so hopefully I'm in better shape then.
For today I'm posting a congratulations card I made for our cousin. She graduated from highschool and is now off to college. Remember those days? MANY moons ago?? LOL.
This card used SU's level 2 hostess stamp set. Love the 2 step stamping. It's such a pretty look.

I should sign off now and rest afterall I've got a whack of stampin' ladies coming!!
Thanks for popping by.

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

Well well well---
What a great Hallowe'en day we have had!! Today is also my husband's birthday so it's always a busy day for us in our household.
This was a layout we did in my Simply Scrappin' club. It uses the SU kit Good Times. I made the cute little pumpkins with oval punches. Neat little idea I cased off someone. I thought a pumpkin patch layout was fitting for this time of year.
Hope you like it. All it needs is a title and I'm done!!

I have also added a few pics from our day today. Enjoy.

Artistic Etchings and back from Regionals!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Where have I been......I know!! I'm sorry.
I am just back from the Stampin' Up! regional event and let me say WHOA!!! It was AWESOME. So inspiring to see other people's work I tell ya! I learned A LOT this weekend. Got to meet and chat with the co founder & CEO of SU Shelli Gardner. What a sweet darling lady she is (not to mention tall!! Holy smokes!!!). I also won a stamp set (A Cute Christmas--in the current holiday mini) and that right there was SOOOOO FUN!!! My friend and downline Lisa won it as well and you should have seen us FREAK out when we saw our names up on the screen! Like KIDS! It was hilarious! So exciting.
I have a few pics posted for you :) ENJOY.

My new favourite stamp set is the Artistic Etchings--Page 125 of the SU catty! Vintage is my new love. Satin ribbon is my other new love. I love working with it. So classy looking too don't you think?

Thanks for visiting today and I'll be back with more I promise :)
Take care.

Summery Colours!

Hey all!!
It's hump day!
Thanks for stopping in today. So, this card for me was "out of my comfort zone!!" WHY? You ask? Because of the colours. I have a hard time making ANYTHING without brown in it and I'm such a "neutral" kinda gal. This is BRIGHT and COLOURFUL! I wanted sooo bad to throw a little Chocolate Chip in this mix but didn't allow it. I love to ruffle ribbon these days. It's a great look that's super easy to do. All I do is lay a piece of sticky strip down across my card and gather the ribbon any old way. There's no rhyme or reason to it. The less perfect it is the better! Give it a try!

Thanks again for checkin' me out.
Have a great remainder of your week.

Pumpkin Patch!

Hello all!

Well it's the start of another new week. Where does time go? Soon the kids will be back to school. Summer seems to fly by. I only just did this layout from the pumpkin patch last year and before we know it we will be picking our pumpkins for this year!! I ADORE the retired Stampin' Up! Halloween paper....Ghostly Greetings (I think it was called that). So fun to use. I have yet to make a title (always seems to take me for ever!) but you get the jist right? LOL.

Thanks for having a look today :)
Enjoy your week.
