Welcome Little One

Hi friends,

I have been dying to use the Baby Onesie die by PaperTrey Ink, but I had not had the chance...plus I wasn't sure how to use it.  I came Nicol Magourik's version.  Hers is beautiful. Mine isn't as elaborate, but I think it's cute.  I finished it with the same pattern in the back, so that you could not see the shorter cardstock on the back. I just didn't like the way that looked.  The inside is Sweet Blush by PTI.  The sentiment was stamped using SU Chocolate Chip on SU Very Vanilla paper.  I used Cotton Candy Stickles and a little bow.

I sure hope the mommy to be likes this card.  I think it's precious.

Die Cuttin Divas Challenge

Hi Friends,

I don't normally enter challenges, but that is one of the things I wanted to change this year...now that we're almost half over it...it's a great time to start, right?

I came across a challenge on Die Cuttin Divas and I thought I'd enter...but then I was not able to die cut anything because we have been moving things at home and my Cricut is temporarily unavailable.  I just made the project and won't be entering it after all.  The challenge is to use the colors, red, orange and yellow inspired by the Summer!
UPDATE -I ENTERED.  The die cut is the scalloped circle, by the way. I have them in several sizes that came with my Cuttlebug.  This is the largest at 1.75 or 2".

I created this Apron gift card holder. I used Stampin Up colors.  The stamps sets are: It's the Tought (Flower vase) and So Happy For You (sentiment and bee).  My SU demonstrator and FRIEND, Norma sent it to me.  I am so glad I got to use it. I used my colored pencils to color in the flower vase.  I have copics but am not too good at it yet..plus I only have 8 colors.

I hope you like!

Wedding Favors

Hi friends,

Our friends, Sharon & Rich, were married last night.  It was a great party!

Sharon had asked for some help with the wedding, so I was happy to oblige.  We ordered some beautiful Murano Wine Stoppers and charms from Fashion Craft.  The charms came in sets of four, but I wanted to display them in a nicer manner, so I came up with a little tent card.  I used Georgia Pacific regular cardstock for the base and Tempting Turquoise from Stampin Up for the layer.  I put it through a hearts embossing folder using my Cuttlebug and pierced holes with my Crop a Dile.  We had to use two types of ribbon, but they came out very cute.  

Craft Wars?

Seriously...I stumbled upon this and I'm super excited!  Cannot wait to see what this is all about.  June 26th at 10/9

Still here

Hi friends.

I'm still around.  I have been without a computer for a little while and have been making projects and forgetting to photograph them.  I promise to get myself together soon to share some cute things I've been working on.
