More Baby Stuff

A sweet couple that work for my husband recently had their first baby. I've been waiting for someone to have a boy so that I could put this yummy quilt together. I bought the fabric last summer and it has been sitting in my craft closet since then.
These rag quilts are so quick and easy to put together.


Of course, I needed a gift bag and tag to go along.
Here are some more Melissa Frances goodies.

Look at the cute Gerber baby face!

Stay Fabulous!

Baby, baby, baby

My family loves Seinfeld. The kids can quote almost every episode. Sometimes it is strange coming out of a 9 year olds mouth. Here is one of their favorites:

"Jerry, you have to come and see the baaabee"




So here are a fewcards for the "Baaaabee"


I need a new light for the photo box...please excuse the yucky shadows.
I used a couple of Melissa Frances papers and stickers.

Stay Fabulous!

Wedding Card and Tag

Hello! Anyone out there?

That's my new greeting. I get very few comments :(
so I never know if anyone is out there.

Today's card was one I made for a wedding we attended on Saturday.


The card was inspired/CASE'd from Wendy McKee. She is brilliant and mad about butterflies!
I had an old, small church hymn book that I used the music page from. The flowers were made with my favorite punch, the SU scallop small punch. I used the punch on an old dictionaryto make the flowers. Those pages are the perfect thickness for scrunchy flowers. Of course, I had to make a tag to go with the gift bag. Pretty sweet! Hope the newlyweds enjoy!

Stay Fabulous!

Tropical Paradise

Hello,
Summer is here and dreams of a vacation with it.
Today's card is a stamped and paper pieces, with tropical stripe.
My first day of the summer that I went into the pool. I don't go in unless its warmish...like degrees. I don't know if it's that warm or not, but the temperature outside was over 94! Whoo Hoo! Finally! Planning a couple of fun days this week...beach, lunch with BFF and crafting.

Stay Fabulous!

Driving Everyone Crazy

Hi!
Today's card is for my nephew who turns 16. I've had this cute SU truck stamp for a while and this is my first card using it. Don't you find that happens too often? Old stamps get set aside as the new stamps get all the focus.

I have used the last little scraps of this graphic, designer paper.
I hope the soon to be new driver appreciated my humor.


Stay Fabulous!

Birthday Cake

Hiya!
Today's card was for one of my dearest friends, Tamara. Let's just say we are old friends. She and her family spent the 4th of July with us. I had to make sure she left with a bag of goodies-card, notepad, clips and bookmark.

This birthday card is staring one of my newest stamps.
It's a layered cake...yummy. Ya know how much I love cake.
Speaking of cake, I am counting down the days until wedding cake...this Saturday.
I was recently denied wedding cake. The couple served "Cold Stone" ice cream sundaes.
Cute, but not the same. I NEED some wedding cake!

Stay Fabulous!

Love Ya, Mom

Hiya!
Mom. She is so wonderful, fun, creative and wise. Last week she drove 3 hours each way as I took my older son to Santa Barbara. On our way home, we stopped to visit my Aunt Pam.
Here is a picture of the three of us (taken by a short 9 year old)
Today's card was for my mom. I want her to know how much I love her.
Still loving the "Citrus" paper by DCWV. I also used a digi stamp and colored with watercolor pencils, and sentiment was embossed with white powder.
Stay Fabulous!

Card for Summer

Hiya!
Today's card is a reflection of Summer. Now summer (lower case s-) is fun and light and relaxing. And Summer (Captial S-) is my niece. Today is her 13th birthday, so a card for Summer. This card is also my submission for Ingrid's Summer Challenge.
My card is sporting colorful flowers and bedazzled butterflies.
I just think it is sooo cute. I hope she enjoys it.

Stay Fabulous!

Hello!

Hiya!
Today's card is a quick "HELLO" card. I am working through a pad of DCWV "Citrus" paper and a new little birdhouse stamp.

Just being lazy and enjoying the cool weather. Usually, by July we are into warm, beach weather. Unfortunately, too cold to go to the beach today. So craft we must!
Have a great day!

Craft Room

I've been on a crafting roll. Pumping out the cards after a crazy and busy spring.
Glad to be back in the saddle.
However, this is what happens when the magic starts. Yikes!
My lovely desk got so crowded, I had to set up an additional table. Never a good sign.
New cuttlebug! Yippee!
Closet storage and my photo light box. Oye!
Father's Day gifts, my old multi-level marketing business crap and outgrown clothing.
Inspiration central!
This hurts my head just looking at these photos.
I just saw some lovely craft rooms over at Two Peas site. I want to cry.
Good thing I have all summer to clean it up.
Enjoy!
