Another birthday card

My picture didn't turn out as well as I hoped and my camera battery died just after I took this photo. The cattails look cool in real life because I used liquid applique in brown and puffed it up so they look more realistic. I used pond pals stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps as I said before I love this set. The happy birthday stamp is ctmh- from me to you the cardstock is ctmh -colonial white, chocolate, garden green. I used ctmh chocolate and black ink, the ribbon was target $ and I wish I had more it's brown with green stitching, it's so pretty.

Hanna sketch challenge


This card was done for the Hanna sketch challenge I really love this sketch. It's the first time I've done a sketch challenge I had a lot of fun doing it.
I used making memories kids collection -Emma 6x6 paper. I bought this paper and I really liked it but never used it so when I saw this sketch I new it would be so cute. I used my cuddle bug swirls for the embossing, and my corner rounder for the scallops.

Valentine baby



I decided I need to do a layout so I sat down yesterday and made this I think these are the cutest pics of my daughter I took them last year on valentines. Just look at those chunky thighs she was 6 months old, oh how fast they grow up. The funny thing about this is she's wearing a build-a-bear outfit. How cute is that?

The layout is from CTMH Imagine-layout minuet
Everything is CTHM except the ribbon - pink stripe and pink poke- a-dot button is target $, black ribbon American crafts and the black brads, rub ons making memories.
cs colors- bubblegum, cranberry, black, white
ink colors- cranberry, black, baby pink, and white daisy pigment ink
stamp sets- All my love, princess, rustic flowers, and happy Easter

I've been thinking of joining the blogging land and I finally did it. I've wanted to share some of my scrapin' and stampin' projects to others to get feed back on them -k- so here we go.

Now I just started my blog so hopefully I can get this right as I'm not very good at this computer stuff. I haven't been in the mood to make scrapbook layouts I've mainly been doing cards because they don't take as long, but I decided to do a lo anyway. I used CTMH cardstock colors are hollyhock, clover meadow, and white.ink is CTMH and the colors are orange, hollyhock, clover meadow, and sunflower Stamps used are Sweet 'n sassy stamps from the pond pals set. I just love this set I think It's my fav. You can't see it in the photo but everyone of the dragon flies have prisma glitter on them it's so sparkly. The title is made with my cricut the cartridge was zoobaloo. Hope you like.
