Welcome Little One

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  We're busy with VBS over here but I'm trying to squeeze in a little stamping and blogging time!  I cased this card from the new catalog for a friend last week.  She's having a little girl after two boys so it was fun to get her a few girly gifts and make a girly card!  I just thought it was the cutest little, sweetest little card.  Don't forget that when you're short on time or creativity or both, the catalog has fabulous inspiration waiting for you!  And even if you don't have all of the exact supplies, you can always make it work!


The Bird Ballad DSP had the perfect sheet of pink paper!  My little critters are colored with Blends and the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit had the perfect little felt hearts for accents!

Happy stamping!

HSS 188

Hi stampers!  I hope everyone had a good Father's Day weekend!  We went home for the last time in what will be a while I suppose since I won't be allowed by my doctor to go that far in a few weeks, we probably won't be going home any time soon after the baby comes for at least a month or two, AND it sucked lol!  I found that driving that far is really not fun for an 8 month pregnant woman last week when I had to take an unexpected trip home (actually to my mom's which is even an hour longer) for a funeral.  I thought it would be better if I rode home Driving Miss Daisy style in the back seat this weekend but it wasn't!  I was highly uncomfortable (back pain) and my feet swelled up even though they were up.  So, I'm grounded :-)  Maybe that means I'll get some stamping done though!!!!!

But, since it's Tuesday, I did get some stamp time in for Hand Stamped Sentiments.  This week is a fun little sketch!


I'm still struggling to get my stamp time in.  I did go down to the cold cave Friday night for some Father's Day cards and to get this one done which is for my BFF's sister who is due about a month after me!  My bestie is coming to visit today so I wanted a card to go with my present that I'm sending with her since I'll be grounded from the shower (boo).  Her sister and I keep laughing about how we are going to trade babies sometimes because as you see from the card she's expecting a girl and she's not girly and I'm having a boy and am totally girly :-)  Isn't that how it seems to go????  I have to say I did have fun shopping for her!!!!!  And I have to say I'm a bit bummed about moving when we did as there are a number of my friends having little babies soon so it would have been fun for Baby Backes and momma to have some friends to play with!!!!


I hope she likes it and it's not "too" girly...and I had to use the retired ribbon because I couldn't find anything else that I liked there :-)

Now, make sure to check out all the DT samples and play along with us!

Happy stamping!

HSS 177

Hi stampers and happy Tuesday!  It's time for a new challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This week is a fun color challenge.

Obviously, with baby on the brain this challenge screamed baby girl to me :-)  But I did take it in a different direction by making a gift tag instead of the usual card.  And no, I'm not giving you hints here as it's way to early to know if the jelly bean is a boy or girl.  The color challenge just fit for a girl :-)

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Zoo babies
Paper: Whisper white
Ink: Wisteria wonder, coastal cabana, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Wisteria wonder ruffled ribbon (retired), scalloped tag topper punch, whisper white bakers twine, subtles collection buttons

I was excited to pull out one of the new tag topper punches!  Those things are really cool!  Just cut your paper to 2 inches wide and punch any length tag you want!!!  And it's hard to see but there's a wisteria wonder button on the elephant behind :-)  I wanted just a little something 3D and to jazz her up a bit!

Ok, make sure to check out all the inspiration and play along!!!!

Happy stamping!

Retro Sunday

Hi stampers!  Yay for stamping Sundays!  I'm slowly getting back into the groove.  I've made a few things I hate, a few I love, and a few that are just ok :-)  I haven't played along in many challenges lately so I've been trying my hand at a few today.  First up is Retro Sketches.  I always love their sketches and use them often for inspiration.  This one is cute!

I broke out the zoo babies set which is totally cute and made a little baby girl card...which I don't really need....but I'm sure I'll use it soon since everyone but me seems to be popping out babies!!!!

I'm all over bright colors as of late...you should SEE some of the shirts I bought on vacation....they are so bright you really couldn't help but see them;-)  So, I went fun and bright with this card.
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Zoo babies, a dozen thoughts
Paper:  Whisper white, strawberry slush, afternoon picnic DSP, 2013-2015 in color core'dinations
Ink:  Wisteria wonder, strawberry slush
Accessories:  doilies, subtles buttons, whisper white baker's twine, alphabet press EF, coastal cabana ruffle trim

The giraffe is supposed to be polka dotted but my slush ink pad is really juicy so I got kind of annoyed trying to get a good image so I gave up, lol!  It's still cute!

And now I'm off to take a walk I think....vacation has made me lazy!!!!

Happy stamping!

Retro baby mobile

Hi stampers!  So it's a pick your favorite sketch over at Retro Sketches and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  This is probably my favorite sketch there so far!

I was planning on using it this week anyway because I need a baby card for my friends shower this weekend and this reminds me of a baby mobile.  I just had to wait to get my box of new stuff (yes, another one...I know...I have a issues, lol) because I wanted to use the little owls from itty bitties.  If I'm being honest they may be the reason I got the entire set, lol!  Thanks to facebook I knew that their nursery was owl themed and was all pink and gray and tan.  So, there was my color combo!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Itty bitties, pennant parade
Paper:  Whisper white, basic gray, sahara sand, pretty in pink
Ink:  Whisper white craft, basic gray, sahara sand, melon mambo, pretty in pink, pink pirouette
Accessories:  Paper peircing pack, large scallop edgelit, white baker's twine, twitterpatted buttons
It's hard to see the little owls because really the itty bitties stamps are ITTY BITTY!  :-)  But they are super cute.  I hope that she "gets" that it's supposed to be a mobile, lol!  I wanted to use the little bottle caps so you could see my owls better but they must be popular as they were back ordered!  That will teach me to wait to order something, ha!  I also cheated a bit and used a retired button from the twitterpated buttons last year...but at least I'm using them:-)

Happy stamping!

Oh baby!

Hi stampers!  Exciting times around here!  My cousin is going to have a baby on (or before) Tuesday!  I'm so excited!  I can't wait to hold her...the baby that is, hehe!  I just found out about the plan today and I'm really glad I whipped up a little girl card the other night because I knew I'd been needing one (or two) soon!  My card was inspired by one of my good demo friends who is also going to have a little girl....her nursery is going to be giraffe themed and she's not big on pink....so my card has a giraffe....and is not OVERLY pink although it does have some:-)

I kind of forget how cute the fox and friends set is, especially for little baby cards!  And I love the soft color combo of wisteria wonder, blushing bride and lucky limeade. 
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Fox and friends, petite pairs
Paper:  Whisper white, blushing bride, lucky limeade textured, in colors 2011-13 DSP stack
Ink:  Blushing bride, wisteria wonder
Accessories:  designer frames embossing folders, adorning accents framelits and embossing folders, wisteria wonder ruffled ribbon, wide oval punch, circle punch

I really like how it turned out although I did add something after I'd taken the picture:-)  I added a perfect plum button just to the left of the sentiment with a little baker's twine bow and that little detail added so much!  I'll try to take a pic and post it later.  Now, I just need to pick up a little something to go with the card so I can deliver it on Tuesday...Target here I come!

Happy stamping!
