Bigger Belly and First Doile Card

Well, my belly feels really big today, but I think that is 80 % because I had about two too many Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies (they literally melt in your mouth)! I am officially 25 weeks, and I am starting to feel like it is forever before we meet baby boy number 2. That could be because I have two sister in laws who have new babies (well one on the way) and also a sister due in a few weeks. Any hoot, I feel like Dec 1st seems far away.



In other news, I tried my hand at both the use of felt and the use of a doilies on a card. I wasn't sure how to attach felt so I asked a couple of bloggers that I follow and was able to find out that the best way is with glue dots. Man those things sure are handy to have!
I found the doilies at Michael's in the baking isle (Wilton brand) and the felt is a thick brand from Michael's also, but you have to be careful because another piece I got there totally didn't work. I have PTI felt on my list of things to buy in the near future. :)

Supplies:
All PTI except felt and doilies (Micheal's) also KI Memories flower

Congratulations!

Today I have two cards to share with you. I made these for a friend who is very busy with baby showers and her own wedding showers!( I have actually had a couple people ask me to make cards for them which makes me really happy! :) ) Any hoot, the first card is very similar to a baby card Dawn McVey did on her blog a while ago, but I made it my own and used a different stamp set. The little boat is from Martha Stewarts Transportation set, which is perfect for little boy cards!

For the little girl card I used Hero Arts clear Happy Animals stamp. I thought this little lamb was so cute. I colored it in with some copic markers and a little glitter.

Well I think that is all for today, my son just woke up and is ready to play!

Baby Girl Card

Well, it has been a couple days since my last post, so I figured I would upload a card I just completed today while E was sleeping. I was wanting to practice using a ruler and black pen to make lines on cards. I lost my really good pen so I used my Martha Stewart Marker to make the lines. I have seen Nicole Heady make lines on her cards and they are so perfect, I wanted to work on that look. I have a long way to go to get them that perfect, but I was pleased with the card today. I am not very good with baby girl cards because my family seems to just have boys, well that has changed in the last couple months. My sister in law just had a precious baby girl and my sister is having a girl in less than a month. I guess I better get to practicing on girl cards! Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Embellish Color Challenge with BIRDS!

I have a super quick post for today! I came across this lovely Embellish Color Challenge a couple of days ago and decided that I would give it a try. I really really love these colors and simply chartreuse from Papertrey Ink is a color that for the past month I use on almost every card. I just love that color. I pulled out my Basic Birds Stamp set from TAC since the sponsor of the challenge is TAC's Chris Franco. I really like the deep chocolate brown ribbon and I feel it finishes the card of nicely!

Thanks for stopping by!!

So excited!

My pinwheel card was picked for last weeks challenge over at the CARDS blog! It always makes me so happy because there are so many talented ladies who get picked! I love following that blog and Paige is so good at what she does (I love seeing her colorful cards), hope you stop by for a glance at the awesome cards!

CARDS Pinwheel challenge

I sure had a lot of fun with these little pinwheels! They are fast and easy to make and really make a fun addition to a cute card. I used Basic Grey Kraft pattern paper for the actual pinwheel, along with the stem of a Q-Tip stained with Colorbox Charcoal Chalk Ink. I wanted to make a really simple card so that the pinwheel was the real focus. I simply stamped Hero Arts clouds background with Aqua Mist by Papertrey Ink. I used Chartreuse paper to make a hill and a little sentiment from Everyday button bits also by Papertrey Ink.
