WELCOME BABY

Hey there, our good friend's daughter is having her first baby.  It's a girl...can you tell?  LOL!  I used a cute Whipper Snapper Designs stamp called Welcome Baby to make her card/gift.  The super easy layout made this card a snap to make.

Here's the inside...the banner ties into the card's theme and doubles as a gift card holder.

I also made her a bouquet of roses out of baby socks.  Pretty cool, huh?  You can't see it in the picture, but white StazOn was used to stamp the WSD Welcome Baby on the cellophane that wraps the bouquet.

I {HEART} SNOW

Hey there, I know you probably don't want to see Christmas cards in April...but I bought these cute holiday stamps last year from Whipper Snapper Designs and never used them.  Michelle from my favorite store, Memories of Time, was teasing me that I always buy stamps then don't get them inky.  Hmmm...sounded like a challenge to me!  LOL!  I actually have a bunch of WSD images colored now, I just need to find time to make them into cards.  This cute little guy's name is Frappe the Snowman. He was so much fun to color!

Here's the inside...there's not a lot to it.  I added a snowflake and a scrap of pattern paper to match.

EASTER FUN

Hey there, have you noticed my poor, neglected blog lately?  *sigh*  My mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.  It's been devastating news and has taken a tole on the family.  My blog just hasn't seemed as important lately.  I have managed to make a couple Easter cards...I need to decide which one to give her.  Out of everyone, she has enjoyed my cards the most.  At any given time, you can stop by her house and she's got a half dozen cards on display.  If she notices you admiring them, she's quick to jump up and tell you all about them.  LOL!

This first card is an Our Craft Lounge image called Pea-Nut Bunny.  I absolutely adore coloring Pea-Nut!  This is the first time inking up this stamp and it's just as fun as all the others!  Memento ink was used to sponge the Nestie and die the matching seam binding.

Here's the inside...

This is the other card that uses a Whipper Snapper image called Chick Magnet.  It's been forever since I used a stamp from a company other than OCL.  I love their stuff...they are too freakin' adorable!  I've probably got a dozen of their images on my desk all colored up waiting to be made into cards.  They were just so much fun to color!
