Baby Shower Invitation

Evening Folks!
Hope you are doing well today. Today I am sharing the invitations I made for a friend at works baby shower we have having for her. I used CTMH Chocolate cs PTI Sweet blush punched out with SU 1/2 circle punch, PTI white cs and I used SU floral punch for the little flowers. The baby carriage is PTI Bitty Baby Blessings. I just used my computer for the sentiment and inside of the card. I used clear stickles along a stripe in the carriage and in the center of the wheels. I used pink stickles for dots around the scallops to add a little more to it. That is it in a nutshell. Thanks for the visit. Sure hope to see you again!
Cheers!

New Baby Gift

Happy Sunday Everyone!
Thank you for venturing over to my side of cyber world. Today I am sharing a gift I made for a friend at work that is having a baby girl in December. Unfortunately only in the photo the pinks don't look like they match but, they do IRL. I used PTI Bitty Baby Blessings for the rabbit and the sentiment. The Silver Shimmer cs is also beautiful IRL but you cannot see the sheen in the pick. The pink is Sweet Blush by PTI as is the canister I wrapped PTI Sweet Blush ribbon around the card and the canister that holds a handmade baby bracelet. I am also making her baby shower invitations which I will post hopefully tomorrow. I used PTI Polka Dot Basics for the dots in the rabbit. That is it for today ladies. Hope you enjoy the rest of this beautiful sun shiny Sunday!
Cheers!

Double Take

Hey Everyone!
Do any of these images look familiar? The stamped images are from the Hostess Gift Set for the PTI Blog Hop. I took the bottles apart and used the stamped images for 4 different cards. So if the hostess that you gave them to is crafty at all she could do the same thing! Then use the bottles again for something else! Anywho. The pattern paper is PTI Holiday Vintage Prints. I added card stock from SU and CTMH. The card with stitches is CTMH Simple Stitches stamp set LOVE that set one of my all time favs!! Well, that is it for today. I had a super great Sunday as we visited with Baby Logan, ummmm love that boy. He is getting so big. 2 months old now!!
Cheers!

I've Been Tagged and a Card

Hi Ya!!!
Happy Friday!! I got some craftin' in today woohoo, already great start to the weekend. But first my cyber friend Beverly tagged me. I am to list 7 random facts about myself. I am not so interesting but here goes.
1. I first fell in love with my husband at a mere 19 years old (almost 20).......he was 34!! WOW!
We celebrate our 13 year anniversary in 1 1/2 weeks!
2. I have an insane obsession with chocolate.
3. I have never lived anywhere but Tennessee, I have lived in 9 homes all within 25 miles of Nashville
4. I did not go to collage!! WHAT!!!! I know, I regret it.
5. my feet grew 1/2 size while I was pregnant and never went back to normal size.
6. I get VERY nauseous in the car reading, fumbling with the radio, looking in my purse etc. It drives my husband insane. It makes me a terrible navigator!
7. I am a 35 year old grandmother!!!! (my wonderful step son and his wife have a 2 month old)
and I love every single bit of it!
Are you still with me??? Have you fallen asleep yet??
Now, the card I stamped this image from my friend Gina's stamps. He is just the cutest thing. Also, I got this card layout from a book I borrowed from Gina, Card Confidence from CTMH. I used Enchanted Paper Pack from CTMH and buttons from Walmart. I colored Riley with Prisma markers. Well, that is it for today! Have a super weekend!
Cheers!

I {heart} our friendship

Hello All!! Hope your day is going great. It is a beautiful day here and my dd is out for fall break so we get to spend the next two days together. Today I am sharing this card I made using more glitter. The pattern paper is Silhouette from CTMH the heart is chip board also from CTMH the Kraft paper is PTI. I did not have a stamp that said what I wanted it to say! WHAT???!!! With all the stamps I have?? SO...I used the font Fountain Pen also from CTMH I covered the chip board with CTMH red glitter. This is a super simple card and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for coming by today. Sorry I have not posted in a few days. I have been reading the Twilight series books and have just been too involved in them. Really great reads though. See you soon!!
Cheers!

True Friend

HELLOOOOOOO!
Hope you are doing great this Monday. I wanted to share another card I made for WCMD. I personally love this one. I love glittery things. I started with the awesome PTI Kraft card stock
and stamped CTMH Orange with PTI Polka Dot Basics. Then I punched a Mega Punch Scallop
Circle from Marvy and traced the edge with glue and sprinkled CTMH hot pink glitter on it to make my sparkly border. The dots around it were made with my CTMH Orange marker. The sentiment was from two stamp sets, Friend from Women of Life and True from Wedding Day both PTI. The pink and orange felt came as a set in the $1.00 aisle at JoAnn with the bling already on it. It was actually a "floral felt banner" I just removed the string. Then that is pretty much it in a nutshell. This card makes me happy. I hope it will make the recipient happy also!
Thank you so much for the visit. Have a great tomorrow!
Cheers!

World Card Making Day/Weekend Results

Woooohoooo. Happy Sunday All,
What a great crafty weekend. I got a lot done. Friday night I went to my friend Gina's card workshop and completed these 8 cards. They are a set that will probably be given to dd teacher at Christmas. I used a paper/sticker kit from CTMH called Life Delights. Making cards from a complete kit like that really makes card making go quickly. I also used various card magazines to help me think of a layout quickly. Then yesterday I made 8 cards...well 7 completed and one half way. I just got pooped out and ran out of mojo on the last one. On this set I added a few stamps of different sentiments and faux stitching all CTMH even the hardware is CTMH. Be sure to check out lots of blogs there were a ton of blogging friends that was able to get in on WCMD. Hope you have a great week!!!
Cheers!

Another Scrap Page

Happy Friday Mornin'!!!!
I STILL have not made any cards. Yesterday I had to work on an accordion album someone at work desperately needed me to help her with. I am so hoping to just play around in the "happy place" this weekend. Anywho...in the meantime I have another page to share. This on is of me and hubby. My daughter took this pic of us at my dad's house on Fathers day. I used BasicGrey patterned paper. The "I think..." stamp I borrowed from Stephanie while at CNC (thanks sister!)
I used Fiskars Threading Water punch for the sides of the pic. The rubon letters and image on the pic are from Creative Imaginations Swatch Book Impress-Ons. I have to say sometimes they are not the easiest to use in that they just don't want to rub on to the project. I also used CTMH Red Sparkles and stickles through out the the flowers. They just don't show up very well in the pic. Well, this is all I have for now. Have a FANTASTIC Friday!!! Thanks so much for spending some time with me.
Cheers!
