Welcome little one

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great weekend! Oh my goodness, life has been a whirlwind over here! Things have been crazy busy at work, and just as busy at home. Paige wasn't feel well last week so I had to pick her up from "school" and bring her home. Thank goodness my honey was able to stay home with her the following day. She's feeling much better now, she's so sweet even when she doesn't feel good!

So, yesterday we had a family outing to the bowling alley. We had such a fun time and Paige almost beat me! LOL! After that, we took a drive down to Ft. Lauderdale for lunch and just relaxed, talked, and enjoyed ourselves. It's so nice that my husband is finally off on the weekends because now we can actually make plans and enjoy our weekends together!

I didn't even realize that's it's been so LONG since my last post and I truly apologize. But, I do have a card to share today. I made this one for the mother of one of Paige's classmates, she recently had a baby girl.

This card is little bigger than the standard A2 cards I normally make, I believe it was 5.25x5.25. I used Simple Stories Vintage Bliss patterned paper and I found the stork in the Silhouette Design Store. I added some enamel dots and few stamped hearts to finish off the card. I tucked a little gift card to Babies R Us inside because all mom's need STUFF! LOL!

 

Well, today I'm getting started on my Christmas cards - yup the holiday season is upon us, YAY! I hope to have a few ready to go by the end of the day. Have a great Sunday, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Birthday card

Hello Friends! I'm so sorry for the brief hiatus, but I've been having some serious computer issues! I'm actually still having those problems but I had to backdoor it and use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, so here I am! You can't keep a good woman down! LOL!

Did you all have a nice weekend? Mine was very relaxing, and very hot! Can you believe the temperature on Sunday got up to 99 degrees?! Isn't that insane! It's only April!!!! I think I say this every year, but I'm so not ready for the summer! Anyway, I digress. I'm here today to share a birthday card I made for my God Daughter, Danielle. She's such a sweet little girl, I just love seeing her smile!

I really like how this card turned out. Danielle's mom even texted me to tell me how much she loved it! I used some really pretty patterned paper from Simple Stories called Vintage Bliss and decided to go with the whole photo/camera theme. I cut out the Polaroid banner from a piece of patterned paper, and stamped the sentiment from PTI's Shutterbug set. I used the library card and the memories enclosed label from October Afternoon's "doo-dads" from their Farm Girl collection. I stamped the BIG Birthday Wishes sentiment from PTI's Think Big Favorites, and added the little wood veneer camera for some added dimension. All in all, it was a really fun card to make!

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post and if my internet is still cooperating later this week, I'll be posting more for sure! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
