Sweet Boy blue


So excited to use Sweet Baby stamp set and dies!  I made both a boy and a girl card.  Our pregnant friends are dwindling but still enough for me to enjoy making baby cards now and again and to justify only the 2nd baby stamp set I've ever bought! 

Enjoy!

MIM: Colored Kissing


I haven't done a PTI Make it Monday in forever! This is colored kissing. Here's the video tutorial. I used Fine Linen and the old Smokey Shadow ink. Aqua Mist card stock and the rest is Fine Linen. Iconic Images and BB: Newsprint for the stamps and MS: 1 collection for the sentiment. Love how it turned out!

Enjoy!

1st day of school



These are the layouts for the 1st day of school this past year.  (as a side note, I'm trying a new program to add watermarks to my photos so I don't have to always upload to picasa and then to my blog).  I'll see if I like it.

Anyway, I used Fancy Pants paper I got last year and lots of PTI products.  I always use my cricut and Locker Talk cartridge.  I can't believe I'll have my "baby" in kinder next year.  Time flies!

Enjoy!

Simply "Rosie" you



Short post today.  I started the stamped background the week I rec'd Rosie Posie.  It's on Kraft but, wow, the lighting was terrible that day.  I have 3 different shots of it and even editing it didn't help.  Finally finished it when I rec'd Simply You.  Perfect touch for a perfectly feminine card.  The flowers are all stamped and colored with watercolored pencils that I blended just a bit with a Tim Holtz felt blending pad.

Enjoy!

Thank you guys!

Dh asked for some "male-themed" thank you cards.  This was the first one.  He liked it, so I might do a few more like it ;).  It was quick and easy and something tells me guys are not going to say "ooohhh, where did you get that card??"  And then want to keep it! (LOL)

Enjoy!

Dance the night away

Last year at this time our group of friends had a "Daddy/Daughter" dance.  Emma got all dressed up and she had such a ball.  I never could find the *right* combination of things to make a layout that worked like I wanted in my mind.  And then... along came Rosie Posie stamp set and dies and this layout was born! :)  Anyway, the heart border die, Embellishments, Floral Fusion #3 (and 6?) and flourishy cricut letters completed the look.

Enjoy!

Last "love" card for awhile

This was my Valentine card to my husband.  I used Echo Park and Love & Marriage.  Of course, I had to use the heart border ... swoon! He *REALLY* liked this card... love it when he says I should sell my card.  Of course, then I tell him he has to run the store, HA!

Enjoy!
