Baby Cards

Hi all!! Sorry for the break, but I have been having technical difficulties. :-) Even now I'm posting from my phone, and I probably will be for a while, so if you all can bear with me while I muddle through this I would greatly appreciate it. Yesterday and today I finally got back to my cards, and had a marathon card making session. It felt so nice. I seriously sat down with 6 hours of Star Trek and went nuts. Dishes weren't touched, and neither was the laundry, dusting, filing or any other chore I had planned, but boy am I happy. And I had time to paint my nails with my daughter! It'll be a while before photos and everything are ready though, so today I thought I would give you all a sneak peak at what will soon be listed on etsy. These two were inspired by the RIDICULOUS amount of friends who announced pregnancies these last two months. I think I'm up to 6 pregos, two of whom are having twins. Its going to be baby shower paradise. Always good times. :-)

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Girls can do anything!

Todays 365 challenge was to take inspiration from Rosie, the spokeswoman and motivation for the Womens Liberation Movement.

I thought I would usse a more modern take on our beloved Rosie though. Todays women express our independence and strenth in many different ways, whether it's through tattoos (which are still thought of as a guy thing) piercings, or taking the traditional "girlie" pink, and adding skulls and black to it.

I was super excited to find this vellum quote (by DCVW), that went perfectly with my idea. :) The paper is by and the stamp is actually a halloween stamp by Indadinkado.

Today, the day before mothers day, I'd like to salute all women out there, who do any little thing to celebrate their own indapendence, and strength.

Have a great day ladies, and keep crafting.

Day 21-Laugh

Today's Card challenge was an abc challenge. The instructions were to use the three elements starting with the first three letters of the alphabet: A-Alphabet stickers or stamps B-Blue C-Circles Here is the link http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-21-abcs-of-crafting-abc.html I had never seen a challenge like this. It was so goofy. I managed to get all three elements into the card. I may try to make a live and a love card as well. They would be a great combo set! Have a great day and keep crafting!

Day 20 - Joy of Travel

Sundays are sketch days! I have now officially completed one week of cards! This is the sketch that was the challenge.

I had a some great travel paper packed away that I decided to use. The joy sticker is by K&Company.

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Day 19- Crush Crush Crush

This weekend was jam packed! And really nice. Unfortunetly though, I fell behind on my card challenges. So I'll be posting the weekends challenges today. I'm still splitting them into seperate posts, just because it's easier to post to the 365 site that way. Here is the link for the challenge:

http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-19-imagine-this-crush.html

The idea was to create something that wasn't a love card, but a card about a crush. I went for a spring-feeling card that simply said you and me, instead of suggesting love. I was really happy with the result. I have had this paper by sei cut out for a while, and was unsure what to do with it. The sticker by me and my big ideas (another gift from hubby) was the perfect finishing touch.

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Day 15 - Inspire

I had fun with this challenge. I admit, normally I wouldn't put these colors together. The stickers were a gift from my husband for valentines day. I'm excited to use them!

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Happy Birthday Yvette!

Thursday was my sister-in-law Yvette's Birthday. Last night we got together at my mother-in-law's house to celebrate. We had a wonderful evening and the little girls had a blast playing together. I created a new card just for Yvette. I wanted to share it here with you! I started with these papers by TPC Studio.

This next card was the original, but I took it apart to create three different cards.

This is the one I gave to Yvette!

And these are the two I will be selling on etsy. Sassy Fashion Chic

and My Princess Shopaholic

I had so much fun making these, and we all had a great time celebrating!
