Babies, Babies, everywhere Babies

Hi There! I have another prego card for you today. I made this one for my friend Erin at work. This girl really looks like Erin! She is one of the many girls at work that are pregnant. I used the How Swell set from TAC. The paper is PTI Stampers select white, SU Real Red and DCWV blue. The ribbon is Off Ray from Joann. I colored her with LePlum II markers and CTMH markers I outlined her with a grey Prismacolor Marker. The polka dots were make using PolkaDot Basics from PTI. That is all I have today. I have made some more crafty goodness today but DH took the camera with him today so I have no way to share! Silly man, didn't he know I would be craftin' it up today with DD in school and me in the house all by myself???

Thanks for coming to visit and have a Crafty weekend!

My Baby Girl

Hola Friends!! Happy to made it by today. I wanted to share a layout I did at Craft-N-Camp back in February. These are some of my favorite pics of Gracie. *side note* If you have the new
Winter 2008 catalog from Close to my Heart please look at page 50 for more pics of my baby girl! She is in catalog. How flippin' kewl is that??? I used CTMH Enchanted paper pack. The word BEAUTY was stamped with Boutique Alphabet and then cut out. I used American Crafts
felt flowers and brads from Joann CK brand. The plastic paper clip is also CTMH. I hope you are inspired to scrap today! TFL
Cheers!

Sexy Hanna

Helllooooo! Whats up? Today I wanted to share a card I made for a friend to give to her boyfriend for his birthday. He likes to hunt hence the camouflage paper. This Hanna is just too
cute. (my friend Angela let me make images with hers! thanks Angela!! ;-) Hanna looks like
Lindsay with her cute figure and short hair. I had to make it multi colored like Lindsay's LOL
and Lindsay also has great big blue eyes.
I colored her dress and accessories with prismacolor markers and her skin with Copic. The
flower is PaperStudio and you cannot tell from the pic but the dots were white and i colored
them with green to match the camouflage. For the sentiment I just typed it up in word and
printed it on cs. That's all I have for now. Have a FANTASTIC day!
Cheers!

Yo Ho Ho Matey!!

Hello All! Well even with the new grandbaby here I did manage to get a little crafting done. Here is my card for MojoMonday this one is from July 28th but better late than never right? You should check out her blog as she has some awesome card sketches! I made this one using my new The Angel Company stamps called Playful Pirates. I absolutely ADORE this set. I guess number 1 reason is because Grace loves all things Pirates right now. I used CTMH Black ink and cardstock. The white and Berry Sorbet is the deliciously thick cs from PTI. I cannot tell you where I got that ribbon it was a remnet let over from ??? Thanks for checking me out today!
Cheers!

Baby Bling

We have so many girls at work that are pregnant it makes one scared to drink the water! LOL but I get a chance to make cards for them all so here is one. I used TAC How Swell stamp set. I also incorporated this to a challenge at SCS Ways to use it challenge using bling. I put some blink made by Paper Studio on her hat and as a clasp on her bag then some in the circles. The card stock is DCWV that I had long forgotten I had. I got it out of a clearance bin (the cover was missing) at a CK convention many moons ago. I paper pieced her shirt and colored her with LePlum markers. TFL!

Here He Is

Well what an exciting day! Baby Logan has arrived. He was about 12 days early and it is a good thing because he weighed 8lbs and 3oz. So my husband and I are officially grandparents. We are so in love with this tiny baby. Mom and Dad are doing great also. Baby is PERFECT!
I have another subject to scrapbook now! wooooohooooooo. Thanks for the well wishes. Have a great day!

Old School

WOW look what I pulled out of my stash. I made this card many moons ago. I used SU Not Quite Navy and Close to Cocoa. I don't know what kind of white paper I used. The Light House stamp is also by SU long time retired Coast to Coast. The ink i used was Archival Ink (Sepia) by Ranger. Love that ink pad. I the background stamp is See the World by Stampabilities. I thought it was a great masculine card and it was one of my first when i just started this insane stamping hobby. Anyway glad my computer is working with me today. I sure hate to have another fit. TeeHee. I dont handle malfunctions very well. Thanks for the visit I hope to have new stuff real soon.

Scrap Challenge

Woohooo. Its Friday!! I have a quick post before I go get DD registered for school. WOW were did the summer go? Anywho, I have been loving these challenges at SCS. This one we had to use
scraps. I found this piece of emerging color I tried from a long time ago using the SU Watercolor Garden. I never put it to use and figured it as time. I cannot remember the exact colors I used because it was a long time ago. I grabbed a piece of Plum Pudding from PTI ran it through the cuttlebug swiss dot folder. Made a little scallop piece from the ole stash and I already had the ribbon tied and ready from a card gone bad but decided to keep the ribbon ;-)
the sentiment is another PTI Garden of Life. Thanks for looking I hope you all have a Fantabulous weekend!!
Cheers!
