Gender Reveal Party

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your week is going well!

Today I have a card to show you that I made yesterday for Shawn's boss's wife.

She needed a card for a gender reveal party for Friday. I did a few searches looking for some idea's but nothing was found unless I printed something off the computer. So, I pulled all my baby sets out and started looking for things to create my card. Take a look...

Card Details:

Stamps: Something for Baby (retired), Verve Stamps- Practically Perfect

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Balmy Blue

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Balmy Blue, Basic White

Accessories: Baby's First Framelits (retired), Countryside Corners Dies, Cloudy Day EF (retired), Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink & Balmy Blue Shimmer Gems, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was quite impressed once it was finished and the boss's wife loved it, too!

I suppose this is the reason I hang on to all my old retired stamps because you never know when your gonna need them!

Congrats!

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Yesterday our bathroom guys handed the keys back and did the final walk through with the bathroom! It looks amazing!

I haven't shared any pictures yet until I get it straightened up and the stuff put back into place.

It seems so much bigger now.

Shawn & I were so exhausted last night that we were in bed by 9 pm.

This morning we are popping out to Walmart to pick up a few things then Home Depot to return shower shelves that already came with the new shower.

Once we get back I need to put 1 more coat of paint on the inside of the bathroom closet and get my shower curtain rod put up so we can start showering. Then the fun task of getting stuff put into their place and moving Ryan back upstairs. I think he's ready to get out of the basement...in which I don't blame him.

I will most likely be taking a blog break over the next week or so to get my house put back together.

The dust is unbelievable! 

Enough on that....let's get to some stamping fun!

I have another cute baby card to share that I made when I made the baby boy card several weeks ago!

It's pretty much identical to the other card except for the color.

I so love that cute bunny!

Card Details:

Stamps: A New Little Someone (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Petal Pink & Crumb Cake 

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Petal Pink, Whisper White, Twinkle Twinkle DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Basket Weave EF, Blender Pen, White Pearls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Finally my card rack is filled with baby cards!

Thanksgiving Goodies, A Bit Late

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm sure for most it is stressful & busy with it being the last weekend before Christmas! Last evening I sat looking thru my pictures from the last few months. Those months that have passed me by and have been a blurr since I have been busy with my shows & outside orders. I happen to stumble upon a folder that had a bunch of Thanksgiving things in that I made and realized I never posted them. I tell ya, I have never been so overwhelmed as I have been since I came home from vacation in September! So, i'd like to share those things with you even though I know Thanksgiving is long gone for this year.

These tissue packs I found this past year from Swankies are just the cutest things! I did them up for Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas!

While shopping one day at our local Dollar Tree I found these Lindor Candies in these cute fall colors. Of course, I was going to use them for a table setting at our Thanksgiving dinner but a friend of mine seen them and bought all of them I had made up! Easy come, easy go! They sure were cute!

The sentiment on the tag comes from Verve Stamps.

Everyone likes M&M's so I did up about 15 M&M Sticks in the Fall M&M colors and used a tag from the Merry Everything stamp set that coordinates with a matching punch! Love that!

They were all so cute!

Well, that's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Sketch Challenge 371

Hello & Happy Thursday!!

Hope your all having a great day so far!
It started snowing here in PA before noon time and from what I can see from my window, it's laying on the trees & grass. Not sure about the roads since the last few days have hit 50 degrees!
The snow always paints a beautiful scenery picture, doesn't it?

Today is Sketch Challenge day over at Splitcoaststampers. Below is the sketch that Holly threw out at us and my sample.

I needed a card for some friends of ours from the Scion car club. Their baby is due on Leap Year so I wanted to make sure I got it done in time before she goes into labor! Edgar & Amy are very good friends of ours and we're excited for them welcoming a new little one into their lives!


Sketch Challenge 371 Card:

Stamps: Riley & Company, Verve Sentment
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Neenah White
Accessories: Circle Nestibilities, Snow Dots & Herringbone EF's, Blue Satin Ribbon from AC Moore, SU Basic Pearls, Dimensionals, Scor Tape


Then today Kelsey ran out to grab our mail and found this SUPER ADORABLE card in there from a blogging friend that I had the pleasure of meeting last May at a stamping get together at L & L Stamps! Mary Anne, this card blew me away! It's so pretty and I love looking at all the interesting things on it! Also it's a gate fold card and I love those! The hearts, pearls, butterflies, rhinestones.....are all so pretty & perfectly placed! BUT, most of all....the surprise of receiving a beautiful hand made card in the mail is just AWESOME! Thank you so much for thinking of me! I love it! :)

Well, that's all for now!
Hubby is on his way home from work so I need to go get my supper made so I can come back to my stamp/family room to watch American Idol later tonight! It's Hollywood week so this will be interesting! :)

Thanks again for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Our Creative Corner Challenge

Hello & Happy Saturday/Sunday!
Here it is still Saturday nite but on the east coast it's Sunday!

I've been working on this challenge all evening and i'm just now getting my card uploaded. I made this baby card for today's Our Creative Corner Challenge. Kristin is the hostess this week and it was an inspiration challenge. Below is the picture that she gave us to give for inspiration.

We did have one rule....we were not allowed to use flowers! So I went with the pinks & yellows in the pictures!
I also made this card for a friend of my daughters back in PA who asked me if i'd make her a baby card for a friend who is expecting. How could I refuse!

Our Creative Corner Challenge Card:

Stamps: Baby Bundle, Sentiment from Verve
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Barely Banana, Neenah White
Accessories: Just My Type (buttons) Embossing Folder, Banana Brads, MS Doily Punch, Banana Grosgrain Ribbon, Scor Tape

I tried to keep this as flat as I could since she will be mailing this over seas.
Hope she likes!


Well, that is all for me today!
I may be back on Sunday with something if the gang doesn't have something else they wanna do. I would like to get Fluffy out of the house. She's been cooped up for weeks now since we have had this major heatwave here. Might just have to take her out for a ride since it's too stinkin hot to walk her.

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy the rest of your weekend!
