For The Mom To Be

Sunday afternoon several of my co-workers and I are putting on a baby shower for one of the girls at work. It looks to be a very good time!

Since I make cards we could NOT buy one right? With a dozen and a half people needing to sign the card I made this one a little larger at 6 x 6. I knew the inside still would not be big enough so I added a piece of cardstock that measured 5. 5 by 11, scored it in half and then scored 1/2" on either side of the center score. That is where I taped it down to the inside of the card. Now there are flaps that people can write on ;) I hope I made sense....lol

This is an old image from H&M stamps and the sentiment comes from MFT Baby Bump.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Hello Sunshine!

Good Morning!
I think our weather is finally turning nice again. This below freezing isn't right for mid-May...yuck! I'll be happy to pull out my flip flops again this weekend!!! Better paint my toe nails :)
The SCS sketch was a GREAT one yesterday and I had to make two cards! This first one is a SU! only card. I love that Good Morning Sunshine DSP and I think I'll need to stock up on it...just for these three patterns....lol

Stamps: Cheep Talk; Cardstock: Choc Chip, Pacific Point, WW and Good Morning Sunshine DSP; Inks: Choc Chip, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie; Accessories: Flower Trio Punch, Silver Brads, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Dimensionals

Saturday is full of friendship!

Happy Saturday!
I've got a few things to share again today!
It's time for a new My Time Challenge. This week Lauren has chosen to do an inspiration which you can see below. Here is a collage of what the girl's have created!

Here is the Inspiration Piece:

I started off by selecting these colours....
Almost Amethyst, Sahara Sand, White and Black. I saw flower and a little bit of bling around the top of the dress.
So I decided to use a new stamp set from H & M Stamps called Seeds of Kindness.

Stamps: Seeds of Kindness; Cardstock: PTI white, Almost Amethyst, Sahara Sand, Black; Inks: Black and Almost Amethyst; Accessories: Nesties, Ribbon, Rhinestones, Eyelet Border Punch, Dimensionals
Stop by the My Time To Create Girl's Blogs:

I was so excited to see Taylors TECC67 sketch yesterday because I have been wanting to ink up the tie image from the Boys Will Be Boys stamp set. I've used the Father's Day Key Ingredient kit to put this card together. I LOVE how it all matches and takes the guess work out of making a card...lol
You can find all the stamps and KI kits at Taylored Expressions.

Stamps: Boys Will Be Boys; Cardstock: Buttercream, Prism, DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Black pen, Buttons, Linen Thread, Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Dimensionals
The Limited Supply Challenge yesterday was called THAT'S a Holiday? Yep...you guessed it....we could choose any wacky holiday from the month of May and make a card about it. No other limits...which means there shouldn't be any rule breakers...right Denise ;)
I chose to do a card on the May 16th holiday called Love a Tree Day.
This Season of Friendship stamp set is a favourite of mine and I'll never ever part with it!

Stamps: Season of Friendship; Cardstock: Tangerine, Choc chip, WW and Hawaiian Papaya DP; Inks: Choc chip, Old olive, Kiwi kiss, Tangerine; Accessories: Mat pack and paper piercer, Curly label punch, Dimensionals

Featured Stamper Cards

Good Morning!
I hope you all had a FANTASTIC weekend! We had BEAUTIFUL weather! Yesterday afternoon I spent the day outdoors working on cleaning the BBQ, power raking the lawn, mowing and watering the lawn. BUT in the morning I had some time to work on the FS117 on SCS.
THIS is the first card I cased. I used a new set from H & M stamps called Seeds of Kindness.

Stamps: Seeds of Kindness; Cardstock: Tangerine, Aqua, White and MME Bloom & Grow; Inks: Tangerine, Black; Accessories: Circle nesties, Curly label punch, Aqua Ribbon
My second card for the FS117 on SCS. THIS is the card I cased. I loved her layout with all the different DP and that she used a cupcake! It gave me another good reason to use the Doctor's Orders stamp set from Taylored Expressions that will be available tomorrow at 8 am PST.

Here is a sneak peek of the girl's work....Lauren put together a little collage...love it! I can't wait to see the full cards now!

Here is my card I created with the sketch 32 which you can find below ;)
This weekend is Lauren's birthday and to celebrate we thought it would be fun to make our sketch cards birthday cards too! I decided to pull out a very fun set from Unity called Giggle Grove. My colour inspiration actually came from a jar of primas that I've NEVER used...shame on me eh? LOL! You'd think maybe I would have used one or two on this card but nope...couldn't figure out where to put :(

I just can't get enough of these cute new Sugarplum's from All That Scraps! This is Emma and she will be available on Monday evening. I've used Taylor's TECC66 for my card but did move the three embellishments to the bottom as it worked better for my card ;)

Stamps: Sugarplum Emma, AmyR's Beach Sentiments; Cardstock: Real Red, White, AC dp; Inks: Memento black; Accessories: Copics, nesties, primas, silver brads, dimensionals
I combined a couple of challenges for this card. This one was for the Limited Supply Challenge of creating a border with stamps and also the WSC79 that is being hosted by Jenn Balcer.

H & M Blog Hop Project

Welcome to the H & M Stamp blog hop!!

If you are just starting here you will want to go back to Carolina Buchting's blog so you don't miss a thing ;)

This month I have created a little top note purse with notecards for my Mom. Since we live so far away I don't get to spoil her as often and Mother's Day seems like the perfect time to load up a box of goodies to ship off to her.

I followed a really great tutorial by Becky Roberts that you can find here.

Here is a photo of the little 3 x 3 notecards I made to put in the tote as well.

I used the Petals of Friendship stamp set with some pretty floral dp from my stash.

Now stop by Julia Aston's blog to see what she created!

Stamps: Petals of Friendship; Cardstock: Bordering Blue, PTI lemon tart, WW and DP; Inks: Celery, Bordering Blue, Lemon Tart, White Craft; Accessories: Nesties, Top Note dip, Jumbo Eyelets, Primas, Pearls, Eyelet border punch, dimensionals, mat pack and paper piercer

Thanks for stopping by today! Come back a little later for my SCS colour challenge cards!

While we were having coffee she asked me if I was going to come to the third annual Edmonton Extravagnza. I didn't even know about it...yikes! Of course I'm going! If you are in Edmonton or would like to come for it....read up on all the details. There are probably only about 10 spots left.

Happy Saturday!

Good Morning!

This afternoon I'm having a Stamp A Stack and I still need to set up for it. Will be working on it after I tidy up my house and clean the bathroom ;)

I'll try to share the cards a little later. For now I'll show you two cards I made yesterday in between prepping for my SAS.

This first card was made for the Limited Supplies Challenge and also Beate's WSC that is being hosted by my Baker's Dozen team member Charmaine! Stop by Charmaine's blog to see the sketch and play along! The LSC was to use only black and white. I panicked a bit at first because black isn't really my thing BUT I found this stash of DP in the drawer....yippee! I decided to use a sentiment from the new Verve set called Miracles Blossom.

Stamps: Miracles Blossom; Cardstock: White, Black and Imaginisce DP; Inks: Black; Accessories: Silver Brads, 1/4" and 1/2" circle punches, Oval nesties, Dimensionals

We have received a large dump of snow this weekend and that means I don't go out! LOL!

This card was made using the Weekend Sketch Challenge 71 that I found on Beate's Blog. It was also made for the Inspiration Challenge 170 on SCS. I chose the second picture that was posted.

SCS sketch Cards

Good Morning!

Before showing you my SU! only card and a new H & M stamps card I want to wish my husband a

VERY HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY!!
