A card that is long overdue!

WOW!  This is the first card I have stamped since Emma was born and it has taken me a week to finish!  I used the Magenta stamp Q0394 for the flowers, colored them with chalks, cut them out, layered them on the card.  Then used a border punch on some Basic Grey Porcelain paper to create the border.  The Feel Better Soon stamp is from My Favorite Things Bunny Slipper set.  Then I added some rhinestones to finish.

Emma Update:  Emma loves to be cuddled and I am enjoying it now before I have to go back  to work on Dec 12th.  She actually slept 7 hours the other night before waking up!  My nieces came down for the weekend and worked on their scrapbooks and I am now determined to make a scrapbook for Emma.  I'm not a big scrapbooker but I am very excited about starting this new project!  So expect to see some layouts with Emma coming soon! 

Finally Finished!

I finally finished Emma's name for her bedroom.  I used 8 inch chipboard and painted the edges then cut paper with decorative scissors and glued paper to chipboard.  I added some accessories such as flowers and rhinestones.  Then used wall hangers to run ribbon thru and then hung them!  I think they turned out so cute!  Sorry the picture doesn't really show them well.  I used paper with glitter and so they are pretty shiney!

Recipe: 8 inch chipboard, pink ribbon, wall hangers, DCWV Nana's Kids paper with glitter

Favorite Picture

I got the best picture the other day when my two little angels were napping.  Look at how happy Emma is to be cuddled next to her "puppy"

Emma Paige is here!

Emma Paige is finally here! She was born at 15:16 Friday and weighed 6 lbs and 15 ozs and was 18.5 inches long!  I hope to get some better pictures in the next few days but here is one we took when she was napping (which is most of the time)  She is a good baby!  Sleeps alot.

Sorry that I have been MIA

Hello everyone!  I am sorry I have been missing in action.  I went to see my doctor today and she is going to induce me next week.  We have finally made it to week 37!  I hope to get a chance to stamp this weekend since I haven't had time (or energy) to do any stamping for a month now.  Sorry I haven't been posting regularly but next week I will definately have some pictures of our cutie pie to share with everyone!!

Spinner Birthday cards

I love making these spinner cards.  The circle that is stamped "Consider your age unlisted" spins across the card and is so much fun and they aren't that hard to make.  I made the black and white card for my sister's birthday and the pink card for a friends birthday.

Stamps: PrintWork Collection Great Birthday and Scrappy Cat Birthday Wishes
Ink: White and pink ink, Tombott markers
Accessories: White puff EP and nesties

Baby's Room Shelf

I bought this unfinished shelf at HL for less than $5 and painted it with Craft acrylic paint.  I love the pastel colors and how they turned out.  The green and blue panels open up and have little drawers.  I used stickers that was left over from my other shelf I made so it all has the same theme.
Recipe:
Stickers: K&C Company stickers (Butterflies Adhesive chipboard and Sparkle Flies)
Accessories: Shelf from HL and Craft acrylic paint

Baby's Room Wall Art

I bought this kit from a LSS years ago made by Magenta and they make such great framable art.  So I decided to make a picture for my baby's room and I think it turned out adorable.  Unfortunately my pictures don't do justice because I used some shiny ink pads and Twinkling H2O's and the picture has an awful glare.  I am having it framed in a cream white and think it will be a great addition to my baby's room. 

Recipe:

Stamps: Denami Trifly, Magenta E-0285 and G-0266

Inks: Brilliance Dew Drops and Versa Magic Dew Drops

Accessories: Magenta Framable art kit, Twinkling H2O's

No stamping but still too cute!

I have been trying to get my baby room ready and need some art work. So what else to do but get creative? I found this wooden art at Hobby Lobby for less than $2 and painted it with Acrylic craft paint then added some ribbon and some stickers I found. It took me about 5 minutes to do after I got it painted. I think it will look great above our changing table and we can put things like finger nail clippers and other stuff we don't want baby girl to get a hold of. Now I am working on a shelf with drawers. Hope to have it finished tomorrow so I can start working on a picture I am going to make for her room.

Thank you Card

I made this Tri-Fold Shutter card for a friend who gave us a beautiful blanket for our baby. I have been wanting to make one of this forever and finally got a chance to at the class I took at the Grapevine Stamp Convention. Then I had to make some more because they are so much fun! I was a little overwhelmed with were to cut/score but after doing it I found it wasn't that hard after all! The 1st picture is of the front of the card and the 2nd is of the inside. I colored the images with Twinkling H2O's so

IRL they area really sparkly!

Baby Shower Thank You card

HELP! This is the card I have come up with for my thank you but it needs something. I have ordered a foot print die cute and thought to replace the umbrella with that. Maybe I need to get another saying? It just needs alot of something and I have no idea of what. My mind is rebelling because it knows that once I get it right I am going to have to mass produce! LOL I hate mass producing! I need something simple, fast to put together yet beautimous!

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you
Happy Stamping!

Another Fun Christmas Card

I used the SFYTT sketch challenge from July 25th to make this fun Christmas card. I'm not sure why but I have fallen in love with Snowmen images! They are just so cute! I made the saying on my computer because I don't have many vertical sayings. Will definately need to add some of those to my wish list!

Stamps: Great Impressions

Paper: The Paper Studio

Ink: Tombott markers and Distress Ink

Accessories: Snow flakes from Hobby Lobby, Nesties, Snowflake edge punch and Stickles

Another Christmas card!

I finally finished another Christmas card! I have not got as many done as I had hoped and my family thinks I am crazy for starting this soon! But every year I never have them done in time so I am hoping to at least have a small stash by starting this early. Unfortunately I also have to start making Thank You cards for my baby shower and I can't seem to get the energy to start. Guess it's because I know I will be mass producing and I hate mass producing! LOL But I had better get a move on because I have already received some beautiful crocheted blankets from some friends and I need to get them a card out!
Anyways I used the SC222 sketch challenge for this fun card! I love the image with the cat hanging there. Reminds me of last Christmas our family cat loved to climb our tree and know the shiny balls off onto the floor!
Recipe:
Stamp: Stampendous; Fluffls Garland
Ink: Memories Black, Tombott markers (watercolor) and Distress Ink
