It's a Boy!!

....for someone at least! Not me, however. Nope, I'm afraid I am done contributing to the world's population! Still, I'm sure that somebody I know will have a baby soon and now I have both a girl card and a boy card that I can send.

So, today's card is very simple and I am entering into a few challenges:

1. Pixie Cottage: Sketch 57. There was an option for embossing as well; but I didn't do that this time.

2. Creative Craft World: Use a square

3. Cook it Up with Katie: Use a little blue, add some buttons and bling

4. Scrapbook Sisters: Baby Card

That's all for me today. Be sure to come back tomorrow and see if you are a Delightful Daisy this week and if you are eligible for the $15 Gift Certificate to Two Peas!

Fabulous Friend

Good Evening Friends,

Once again, the day got away from me and I was not able to get my card posted until just now. I had a good time making this card this morning. I just took my time and put it together quite leisurely. Sometimes those crafting days are the best, aren't they?
I was actually quite productive doing other things as well today and now I'm all relaxed on the couch watching the new episode of Survivor. I love this show...I never get tired of it!!
Anyhow, I did find some challenges yesterday on which I based the design of the card.

1. Cards & Things: Sketch

2. Desert Island Crafts: Pick at least three from the list. I chose A.)Monochromatic with Ocean Tide, Sage Shadow and Aqua Mist. B) The word "Friend" in your sentiment. C) One pattern paper. D) Swirls

3. My Time To Craft: Circles

4. Top Tip Tuesday: Stitching

Sweet Baby

Hi Everyone!

So here I am in stamping, crafty heaven once again. I must make a disclaimer here: I am going to miss my husband and worry about him every single second that he is gone; but I must confess one tiny little thing. I have to admit that it is going to be nice to be able to stamp and blog at my leisure instead of having to make sure it's all done before the kids get home or before it's time for dinner etc. I normally don't do any sort of crafting or computer work in the evening because I always like to spend my time with James watching TV, reading etc. Now, however since I'm sitting on the couch all alone after the kids go to bed, I have plenty of time. I think that's why even though I got this card done yesterday, I've just been a bit lazy about getting it blogged and linked up to the challenges I want to participate in. Also, life does sometimes happen so I had all the intentions of doing it yesterday; but alas did not quite get it done.
Anyhow, here are the challenges and details for today's card:

1. Bunny Zoe Crafts: Flowers

2. Crafty Your Passion: Pink

3. Die Cut Dreams: Baby Girl Card. (I was so happy to have something other than a Valentine's Day or challenge to do...)

4. Incy Wincy: Use 2 different color mediums. (I stamped the sentiment with ink and then used versa mark and chalk for the green butterfly)

5. Mojo Monday: Sketch 178

6. Totally Stampalicious, Alys Challenge, I Did it Creations: All Bling it up challenges. I used some pink and green rhinestone squares and some glitter around the sentiment and in the butterfly as well.

7. Woodware USA: Embossing.

8. One Stitch at a Time: Make it Pretty

9. Paper Sundaes: Pick at least 2 of the featured toppings. (I chose flowers and pink)

Going Crazy with the Challenges Again!

Hi Everyone!

Well, my warrior has departed and I miss him already. I am grateful he isn't going to be gone as long as others will; but I'm still going to worry about him every minute!
So, how shall I occupy my time over the next few months? Mmmm....let me think...oh I know! Stamping and crafting, of course! I actually had a chance to make this one the other day; but didn't have a chance to post it, which means that I've had plenty of time to go through 3 days worth of challenges to see which ones it fits. Once again, the list is long; and that's perfectly ok with me. I have to say that when I link my card to a challenge, I always visited those challenges and try to go around and comment on at least 10-20 cards per challenge. Therefore, sometimes it can be an ALL day affair for me in blog land. So, at least I know I have something to do while I'm sitting around watching TV in the evening.
Once again, I shall use the challenge list to share the details about the card. I do have to apologize about the quality of the photo. I took this picture with my phone camera instead of my camera. Probably shouldn't have done that; but oh well. Lesson learned. The bad thing is that I took my memory card to Wal-Mart yesterday to print some pictures; and now I can't find it...uh oh!!
Ok, enough with my ramblings. Here is the challenge list:

1. Get Sketchy: Sketch 74

2. Our Craft Lounge: Buttons and Bows OCL52 (I used some string to tie a couple of simple bows on the sides and then the buttons along the center and I used OCL's "Fabulous Florals" stamp set)

3. Phindy's Place: Spring is on the way (I thought the flowers and colors fit this challenge nicely)

4. Annabelle Stamps: Say it with Polka Dots (The polka dot DSP is from Cosmo Cricket's Restoration 6x6 pad)

5. Our Creative Corner: Cut it out. (I cut out and then stacked the flower in the center. This was one of the reasons I did not scan the card, so that I could do a close up of the flower)

6. Secret Crafter: Stamped Flower.

7. Little Claire's, My Grafico, and Stamp it Crazy: All Anything Goes challenges
