Baby Bump Update

Hello Friends! Did you have a nice weekend? Mine was certainly nice, very busy but nice. So, we had an appointment for our 3D ultrasound, but little Miss Paige decided that she didn't want to cooperate. :-( She had her hand in front of her face the whole time so we couldn't get a good picture. Considering that we get an ultrasound every two weeks, maybe she's just tired of the paparazzi! LOL!

Then on Sunday we took a breast feeding and child care class which was really informative. I've been on the fence about breast feeding but after hearing about all the benefits for the baby I'm totally on board! The class was 3.5 hours long so it was A LOT of information and we got a great goodie bag, so it was well worth our time. The next thing on the agenda is to tour the hospital we're going to deliver in. That should be fun! There are just so many little things to put into place before she gets here, I have a running list of "to-do's" for me and my husband!

So, without further ado, here is our Week 30 photo! Wow, 30 weeks I can't believe how fast this time is going!

My belly is definitely growing by leaps and bounds! But, I'm still feeling good, still working out, and still smiling! Well, I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful week! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Vegas Birthday

Hello Friends! Happy Friday to all of you!! This week hasn't been too bad at all, and the weekend is here so that's definitely a reason to celebrate! Do you have anything fun and exciting planned for the weekend? Well my husband and I will be getting one of those cool 3-D ultrasounds this weekend and we're also taking a childcare class so this weekend is all about baby! I still can't believe I'm already 30 weeks, the time is truly flying by!!

Well, today I have a cool card to share with you. My sweet friend Chi will be celebrating her birthday with some girlfriends in Vegas so what else could I do but make a Vegas themed card?

Of course I used my handy dandy Silhouette to cut out the Las Vegas sign (I love that machine!). I also had a super small box of playing cards from Tim Holtz that I added to the bottom of the card. And, I'm not sure how well you can see it but I added the sentiment Happy Birthday to You (Papertrey Ink) and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I really enjoyed making this card and Chi really liked it, so as I always say that's what makes me the most happy! 

 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by!

New and Improved Grocery List

Hello Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! So far, so good over here. Today I have a quick post to share with a new grocery list template. The previous one I was using was from Papertrey Ink and I had to print it and cut it by hand. It wasn't terrible, but it was a tad-bit time consuming. Now that I have my Silhouette, I was able to find a template that I could just press "cut" and not only does the machine cut it, but it adds the perforated lines down the spine as well! Talk about saving time! This template is a little larger than the previous one, so I used my friend Jeanette as the tester. She LOVED it! It still fits comfortably in her purse and for me it's a no-brainer that I'll turn to this template again and again and again! Here's a photo...

Can you say easy-peasy?! Even the patterned paper on the front of the grocery list was cut with my Silhouette and as you can see it fits perfectly! I used the Friendship Jar stamp set from Papertrey Ink, a little patterned paper and a ribbon finish it off. I'm sure this will not be the last time you see one of these!

 

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

ViewMaster Birthday card

Hello Friends! I hope you've had a great week and your weekend is off to a wonderful start! My week was pretty good, kinda busy but busy is good, right? Today I'm heading off to get another pregnancy massage, so I'm definitely looking forward to that. Tomorrow we're invited to a birthday party (yup another one) but I think I'll leave my dancing shoes at home this time. LOL!

I made today's card for my very sweet friend and co-worker, Sheri. Her birthday was earlier this week so I thought I would make a nostalgic card for her. Do you remember the ViewMaster?? I sure do, I loved that thing when I was a kid! It's funny because after I gave it to her she had it on display on her desk and she said people kept coming over and asking her if it was real! LOL!

I made this card using my Silhouette for the ViewMaster (isn't it cute?!), and I used the Maggie Holmes collection from Crate Paper for my patterned paper. I think I need to get another pack of that paper because I absolutely LOVE IT!! I had some wood veneer cameras that I sprayed with mist and added to the top along with a chipboard piece that I stamped. I used Papertrey Ink stamps for the sentiment and also their die cut for the shape at the bottom. This card truly makes me smile, and what makes me smile even more was that my friend really liked it!

 

Well, that's it for me today I hope you have a great Saturday! Thank you for stopping by and I'll be posting again real soon!
