Sweet Blessing

This might be TMI (too much information), but a few friends and I were trying to get pregnant at the same time. Don't ask how we tried to execute it...haha!

This is for one of my good friends who succeeded! It's still too early to find out the gender of the baby. Actually, I'm not even quite sure that would be their plan. So I opted for a gender-neutral card.

This stamp is my first Claudia & Company stamp. I got it from ATS. And it is so very cute!

Paired it with lots of K&Company patterned papers, a ribbon, and some brads. I am so HAPPY for my friend! Can't wait to meet her baby!

Nuts About You

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Hope you are all doing great!

I, unfortunately, have to start off this blog post with a disclaimer. Lame, I know! Hehe! Pardon my coloring....ERRRR, let's say blending instead. I colored this image(s) waaaaayyy back and have now just finished incorporating it into a card.

I first wanted to make a woodsy scene of some kind for these cute TGF Forest Friends. But it just wasn't meant to be. So instead, I played around with Sassafras' Mix & Mend paper pad, and here is the result!

Added a 'misted' flower and some punches and voila!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Sweet November!

Hello and welcome to Sweet November's Sweet Celebration Birthday blog hop!

Yep, it has been one year since the characters who reside in Sweet November Land have come out to play and a few of them have gotten all decked out for a grand birthday party today!

All of the wonderful SN Gals and Guest Gals, as well as some of the ATS design team have come together to showcase these new cuties with a hop! And you won't want to miss a single blog because not only are the cards super cute and totally inspiring but there are also four birthday candy kits hidden along the way... think of them as fun birthday presents for you to win!

We are kicking things off at the ATS blog where you can find the complete list of everyone's blogs and if you have come here from Amy Gould, then you're doing great!

I was thrilled to work with this cute birthday boy stamp! He reminds me of my own toddler, and I was inspired to make a scene for a birthday party. Used October Afternoon Seaside papers (one of my faves right now!). And these adorable K & Company stickers were perfect -- I wanted the scene to be really fun, colorful, and almost chaotic. Just like a real birthday party!! :)

All four of these new Sweet November stamps will be available in the ATS store on Monday, November 15th... which is the same day that the birthday candy winners will be announced on Amy Young's blog.

Now you're next stop in the hop is Donna. Thanks so much for joining our Sweet Celebration!

XO,

Road trip

Here's a quickie card I made using more goodies from Torendi.

I used some Hurly Burly fabric and Decole Retro camera stamp.

I also misted the cardstock, though you can't tell from here. And I really need to learn how to sew. But in the meantime, I just used some staples. :)

The 'road trip' sticker is from Cosmo Cricket's Joyride.

Have a great one, folks! We've got visitors staying at our place so I won't see you till this weekend!

Torendi Second Tuesday Blog Hop

So I've decided to join in on another customer blog hop. This time, it's from Torendi.



Up above, the stamps I chose are the oh-so-adorable Hansel & Gretel story book stamps! They are teeny- tiny and perfect for mini or regular sized cards. You get all four stamps in one set.

You may have remembered how I first talked about story book stamps here and here.

What I like about Torendi is that you get to see unique imported products and stamps! Hope you have fun hopping!

Here's the blog hop order:
