Happy Monday!  Today my cards are is for a Bridal Shower for a niece that is occurring on Saturday.  I am not able to attend as I will be attending a Baby Shower for another niece. That is the other card you see.  These showers are on the SAME day, at the SAME hour, in DIFFERENT towns.  Each town is about 3 hours, in DIFFERENT directions  from where I live.  I knew of the Baby shower in January and just got the invite for the Bridal shower 2 weeks ago,  sooooo the plans to attend the Baby shower had already been made.  I WILL be attending the wedding in May, though, so I guess everything works out.

This is an all Stampin' Up! card, except for the colored rhinestones that are in the center of each flower.

I love how the baby shower card turned out.  Audrey and Scott are decorating the nursery in a Noah's Ark theme and I just happened to have Debbie Mumm's Noah's Ark paper stack.  How cool is that?!  I cut the animals out and mounted them on scalloped squares cut with my Cuttlebug and Nesties.  Just love 'em!!  The background paper has a bit of a sparkle on the darker lines.  The small buttons came from WalMart.

Hope you enjoyed my offerings today.  I had a blast making them!  Thanks for stopping by and BE BLESSED!!

Baby Shower- Welcome Haven!

Happy to to all! This card was for my daughter's Baby Shower a few weeks ago. The little girl she was expecting arrived on Sunday, Dec. 6. She was not due to get here until Jan. 6., so we were all surprised but happy. Haven Sarina weighed 5 lbs. and 11 oz. and was 19 inches long. I am anxious for her to get out of the NICU so that I can hold her. Three of my nine grandchildren are helping me with this post, their names are Avi, Jo, and Judah.


Well, on to the card! Card stock is from Gina K and Stampin' Up! I used my SU scalloped edger punch on the white glossy cardstock, after I ran it thru my Cuttlebug using the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. The image is a digi image from Squigglefly.com. Isn't is adorable?
Check them out! I colored it with my Koh-i-noor pencils and blended with OMS. Ribbon is from Michaels.
Thanks for stopping in today! God Bless!

Audrey Jane

Good Sunday Morning! I am so excited today, we are going to Pensacola to visit a niece and nephew. Just last week they welcomed baby Audrey Jane into their family. From the pictures I have seen, she is a CUTIE! Lots of hair and round and pudgy! Just waiting for her Auntie Carol's hugs......heehee! Here is the card I made to go with her gift:

Card base is Gina K Luxury White, layered with some Stampin' Up! pink that I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots EF. The brown layer is edged with my SU Scalloped Edger and the pattern paper is from my scrap box. (DCWV I think). The cute lion image is a Reflections Clear Stamp from the Zoo set at Michael's. Sentiment is a clear stamp from the dollar bin at Craft Warehouse. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and chalk to color the oval, which was punched with a Marvy Oval Punch. Image is colored with Koh-i-noor pencils.
Thanks for looking today. God Bless!

Stamp TV Sketch Challenge 15

Good afternoon! It has been a busy day for me, but I saw all the cute cards for this challenge and just had to give it a go! The challenge I'm referring to is over at STAMP TV, be sure and check it out! The card is a bit of an off size, so that was challenging for me. It is an 8x8 piece of cardstock folded in half. I like it now, I'm sure I will use this size more often.

Supplies: Cardstock-GinaK, Stampin' Up!, Pattern Paper-HOTP, Stamps-Just So Hippy-Melanie (GKD), Koh-i-noor Pencils, OMS, Brads, Marcy Circle Punch, Ribbon-Stampin' Up!

Thanks for looking in today! God Bless!
