A Quick Post....

We are about to eat dinner, but I just wanted to share a card that I made for one of the ladies at church who is about to have a baby.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Last Minute Cards

So, for my second post today.... This is one is more craft oriented, but still related to the wedding :)

My first card is a card that I made Friday night while hubby was a worship practice.  It took me forever to get this card finished as I couldnt decide what to do and as I was also watching TV at the same time. Usually this doesn't really distract me, but it was late, I was sleepy, and having a hard time focusing on the task at hand!  I eventually settled on some coordinated papers/embellishments from a set I picked up at Ollie's (or my mom might have picked them up for me... Can't remember!)

Anyhoo, I whipped this little card up for the happy bride and groom!

{Supplies update}

Supplies:
Paper: Textured cardstock from Michaels, Patterned paper I am pretty sure is from a DCWV collection (you can check their blog out here)
Embellishments: Embellishments from the same DCWV collection, ribbon off of a Christmas cocoa mix set from Starbucks (I like to resuse what I can ;) )
Sentiment: Typed out and printed off
Last night, I also threw together a baby card for a couple at work that just had a baby. I couldn't remember whether the baby was a boy or girl.... I thought boy, so I hope that I'm right!!!!! lol!!!!

{Supplies update}
Supplies:
Paper: Textured cardstock from Michaels, Patterned paper from my cousin(dont remember the company name!) and some scraps I had savedEmbellishments: buttons from dollar aisle a few years ago at Target, I keep on reusing this digi image for every baby boy card, I need to get more... and I sincerely wish that I could remember where I got this image from, but I forgot to put the blog name in the file extension when I saved it!!!!)
Sentiment: Recollections stamp set
Hope you are all having a great week!

A quick post....

Just a quick post today, as I am still feeling quite ill.... Seems to be getting worse throughout the week instead of better.... which is a bummer because I had to call my aunt and uncle and postpone their visit until at least a month maybe until summer :(  I was really looking forward to their visit, but hopefully the weather will be nicer and work situation will be a little better so I'll be able to take a day off to spend with them....Anyhoo, done with my pity party now!!!

I just wanted to share a card that I made for a client at work. His wife just gave birth to a baby boy and I volunteered to make the card for everyone to sign....

Supplies:
Paper: basic card stock, "Monkeying Around" collection of Recollections, and "White Out" Collection of We are Memorykeepers
Embellishments: Ribbon and buttons from dollar aisle at Michaels

Baby Girl Cards...

My hubby has two coworkers that are having babies soon. Finally some baby girls!!!! I stopped by Michaels last week to see if they had anything on sale, sticker-wise, that I could use because I didn't have any baby girl digital images, stickers, or anything.... I ended up buying a stamp set because it was on sale for 4.99 and it would have been like 3 dollars at least to buy the stickers. This way I have something I can use again in the future! Some of the stamps can be used for other cards too, so that is nice...

This is the stamp set I bought. Isn't it cute???

I whipped these cards out on Saturday before I went to a wedding shower and my husband went to a birthday party. (It is so hard for people to plan things on weekends that don't overlap with something else because there are always things going on, even on the weekends!!! So hubby and I went the divide and conquer route :) ) I showed the shower card in the last post and I forgot to take a picture of the birthday card before I sealed the envelope. The birthday card was for a 1 year old boy, so it was bright colors and robots. :)

I made a purple card and a pink card. I actually tried paper piecing on these cards and I think it turned out rather well.

Supplies:
Paper: K & CO and standard color cardstock paper
Stamps: Recollections Sweet Baby Girl
Ink: Uchida Stamping Markers
Embellishments: Pearl from acmoore, ribbon from a friend

Congratulations on your new baby...

A childhood friend is having a baby soon, but she lives in Georgia so I couldn't make it to her shower. Instead, I made her a card.

Using some papers from my cousin, some ribbon from a friend and a digi image from I can't remember where, because I accidentally did not add the blog name to the file extension (sorry to whoever created this image :( ).

The next picture is from a card from a couple of weeks ago. Made from patterned papers from a friend, ribbon from Ollie's and flowers from a friend. The digi image is from Raindrop Echo Designs.

Baby Showers Galore

I have never been to so many baby showers in such a short period IN MY LIFE.  Ladies, I warn you .... keep the kool aid to your self!  This is at least the 5th baby shower I've been to in the last two months and they are all having BOYS... (Whoever has a little girl is going to have one popular daughter!) Anyhoo, we have a shower after church on Sunday, so I whipped up a card this morning. Now all I have to do is go get a gift ;)

For the card I used plain white card stock for the base and then layered a piece of light blue cardstock on top. I used some polka dot ribbon I got a Michaels, and the "Its a BOY" and footprint pictures I got from scrapNfonts.com for free! Check the website out, It's kinda cool. They just download as a font in Microsoft Word. (I printed out an entire list (typing out from A to Z on the keyboard) of the graphics so I knew what key corresponded with which graphic.

I really like the graphics. They are so cute!

A Baby Shower and Some Happy Thoughts

This weekend was the baby shower for a good friend of mine. She is having a little baby boy.  I spent quite a while routing through all of my scrapping supplies to come up with "boy" colors (apparently I like pink quite a bit more than I thought!), but finally came up with a color combination that ended up going together pretty well. I don't have any good "coloring" markers or colored pencils right now, so I made due with some crayons I had. This same friend of mine is going through a lot of stress right now in different situations in her life and has been feeling a little down this week, so I wanted to cheer her up. Last night I sat down with some new paper I bought earlier this week and made her a card.
