Baby bunny

Good morning. Another baby card for you using Built With Love from Crafter's Companion. I think this might be retired since I am not able to find it? I just got this a few months ago and finally inked it up. Sheesshh... I need to stamp faster I guess. ha ha  

Might be a little too much sparkle on the blocks but what the hey its a baby card. hee hee  I added faux stitching around the white base panel. The designer paper is from my scrap bin and perfect for the color combo. This is for my friend Ali who is not finding out the sex of the baby... so neutral colors. Added a scalloped edge to the bottom of the designer paper and a few tiny buttons to finish it off. Voila! Thanks for stopping by today. 

Sweet Baby card

Morning! Currently I am in need of several baby cards and I have not a single one on hand. EEK! Baby cards are always so fun to create except when you are in a hurry. So bare with me on this design today as it didn't come out how I thought it would come out.  :-)  My little giraffe is a retired Patchpal from CDS years ago and one of my favorites still. This particular friend loves anything giraffe so it was perfect for her baby card. 

There is several more layers on this card that I normally have on cards but I kept adding layers. The scallop edge is my favorite with baby cards its just perfect I think. A few die cuts for the baby accents. A faux stitched border around the edge and popped up the giraffe with dimensionals. She is going to adore this I just know. Especially as she likes just about everything I create. hee hee  Anyways... Hope you have a great day! 

Thank you Branch

Good morning! Spring break is over so back to the grind as they say. The boys tournament was awesome and so much fun. I am proud of all their hard work and effort they put into everything they do. My time in the craft room was limited last week, yet I did get in there for a little bit. Played with the digi Graceful Still Life the other digi in the set. 

There is actually a few really cool pictures out there of pink blossomed branches so I thought I would give it a try. These blooms are colored with various Copic markers. Layered onto a panel embossed with swiss dots yet it is hard to see them since I didn't think about that when I printed and colored these guys. Sheesssh... But they are there and then a scalloped edge for fun. Added sequins and some sparkle. Voila! 

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your Monday! 

Power poppy and Sweet Petunia Blog Hop

That's right... Power Poppy and Sweet Petunia teamed up this week for some creative fun to show you. We can't wait to get started... but first a few details:

· You will need to leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win the Power Poppy giveaway and the MISTI giveaway (winner's choice of original or mini). 

· MISTI Winners will be announced on this page of the My Sweet Petunia blog on April 14th.  Power Poppy Winners of (2) $25 gift certificates will be on the Power Poppy Blog on the 14th. 

Here is  my creation today is using Peony Muse which was just saying please mask me using the new Misti.  :-)  So I listened to that inner voice and did just that. hee hee I do have to admit that it makes it so much easier to line it all up and stamp using the Misti and makes masking so much nicer. A must have tool that will be used quite often.

Once my masking was complete I colored with Various Copic markers I die cut the panel. I did however want to leave the extended leaves around the edges so I made sure they were not die cut so they could extend over. Added a sentiment to some vellum wrapped around the center. My sequins accents and the sparkle to finish it off. Voila! 

Be sure to comment on EACH person's blog to be considered for the drawing/prizes!

Good morning! This is my April calendar using a retired set. However if you would like a different version of this beautiful display, check out Marcy's Digital version revamped called Flower Bomb. 

This is another month that I left the scripture off so she can write her own. Going with the every other month or occasional one I add is fun and she appreciates it. Very simple with just some coloring on the bloom and a scored border. Voila! 

Summer Tiger

Good morning. Spring break baby... woot woot... That means sleeping in, lazy days and of course fun outside. I'm not sure how much sleeping in we are going to get as they have several practices along with weights still but it will be better than a normal school day. The tournament is this coming weekend and they are getting ready. Going to be a blast!  The weather is FINALLY spring like, the sun is out and the flowers are starting to sprout. Going to be a great spring break. 

I might get some crafting done this week as well... I did get some done this weekend. How about some more of that wonderful Tiger Lily XL I mentioned recently. hee hee  I know... I know... enough already but I do like this flower, its just awesome. This one is in yellow and grey colors with a hint of blue. :-)

Again another way to use the flower and not having to use the entire image if you didn't want to. This is colored with various Copic markers then die cute using Pierced Squares die for both layers. Layered some crochet ribbon and yellow ribbon around the base. These flourished pearls seemed like a great accent with the yellow and grey colors. 

Then I added some suduko gel pen to the flower petals which really make it look cool. Of course its hard to see in the photo but I took a side view to give you a hint of it. In real life it looks rather classy with the pearl accents. Well folks that is all I have for today. Hope you enjoy your day, thanks for stopping by!
