Good morning! It has been WINDY lately and it's a perfect excuse to stay inside and keep warm - and stamp, haha! I walked my daughter to kindergarten yesterday and we had no idea the wind was so bitterly cold. By the time we got to school, our noses and fingers were red and freezing. Parent of the year award, right there. So I came home and made this sweet baby card. I knew when I saw Retro Sketches RS #33 that the Notched Tag Die-namics would be perfect for it. I started with a Sweet Tooth…

Sharing stamping and cardmaking creations

I can't stop making baby cards! They are just toooo cute! Today's card is simple and elegant and uses the Something for Baby die set. (I have linked you to the die/stamp bundle because you save 15% that way and the stamps are just gorgeous. I used the duck one to pretty up my envelope for this card. I wish I had taken a photo of it now to show you.) The other star of this card is the Natural White Cardstock. This is my first time using it and WOW it's the BEST! It has a kind of warm feel and…

Happy Wednesday! I am so happy to share that the sun is back and the weather is warming up! Yay for sunshine! :> This morning marked the last of our weekly play groups (two a week) it's sad to be over but it means summer is it on it's way! Today I am here with a baby card for the wonderful Jennifer McGuire's new sweet baby girl Lila Grace! When I saw that crafty ladies were making cards for her I had to take part! I think highly of Jennifer she is as kind as you would think! And I am so…

I am having so much fun with all the new Simon Says Stamp Picture Book animal dies!! They are so cute, and so much fun!! I used my Picture Book Giraffe die to make a baby card... I die cut the giraffe in 3 different cardstocks...brown/kraft/tan...diecutting each twice for layering. I adhered them together and adhered them to an embossed giraffe that I hand cut out, to have a whole giraffe to adhere all the pieces to... Here are a few pics to show you what I did... Put the die on a piece of…

I love onesie dies, they are classics for baby cards! I have a LARGE and medium onesie...now I have 2 from W Plus 9 Designs that are my small onesies. I thought framing them would be fun (excuse the black background...it seems that photographing white cards at my house these days, seem to show better with black behind them...wish I had better light...or a better camera:)!!)... I used a single flower from a Memory Box border die dotted with Enamel Accents for the baby girl. I used a piece of…

I was so inspired by Michele's card at the Muse challenge, I just had to make another card just for the fun of it...well, two... I couldn't resist that hanging heart in her inspiration card!! I had this Reverse Confetti sentiment on my desk from the first card I made for the challenge, and when I saw it, KNEW that it would be perfect for the heart with a hanging baby "something". Little baby BIG love!! I added a die cut flower to the baby girl's onesie, a stamped and cut out bow tie for the…

Have you seen the absolutely adorable Fable Friends Stamp Set in the Occasions Catalogue? The images are nostalgic to me and remind me so much of the Beatrix Potter characters Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck. Today I'm sharing a really...

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good weekend and are ready for a new week. Our weekend was a bit hectic but we spent a lovely evening with friends at the Lowry Theatre on Saturday seeing Tom Paxton sing. Tom is 77 years old now and I have enjoyed his concerts many times over the years. He held the audience in the palm of his hands while he took us on a journey through his songs that made me laugh and cry. He told us that this was the last concert of his last tour, and it makes me sad to…
