Sweetie Pie

 Well, this was going to be one of our cards for May card class, but I just saw yesterday that this stamp set SOLD OUT! I love it so much, that I was going to use it again.  I borrowed the idea from SU! blog and switched out all the colors and added in the embossing folder, added a flower to her hair, yeah, not going to be able to do this card this month.  However, the Itty Bitty Punch Pack(the flower in her hair), the Honeycomb Embossing Folder, the Scallop Circle punch and 1 3/4" Circle punch, Stazon Black Ink and Tempting Turquoise items are all still available.  The Strawberry Slush items are gone! Yep, they were on the Retired List on Monday and I believe in no time they were GONE!

You're Amazing!

 Wow! What a whirlwind the last two days..We had our second grandson born yesterday and he.is.precious! This card fits my feeling when I held him for the first time.  I fell in love the instant I saw him.
This is the last card for my April classes.  I started out with layering Soft Sky onto Whisper White card stock and then a layer of Basic Black over that.  I used the White ink pad with a sponge and lightly sponged over the black and then stamped the stamp from You're Amazing, in white on the Basic Black.

I punched out 3 Crushed Curry Scallop Circles and scrunched them up and added a Glimmer Brad to the center and then "un-scrunched" them and adhered them over a strip of Real Red Designer Series Paper from the Paper Stack.
Well, until another day, I am out...I am just home from the hospital and need to start working on May classes. Thanks for stopping by!

Take Care

 Happy Easter! I hope everyone has a wonderful day celebrating Christ's resurection today! What an AWESOME God we have all the time.
I wanted to share a card from class this month that reminds me of spring.  It's very simple and it's a stamp set that I got when the catalog came out LAST YEAR, and it just now got inked, I know, don't judge! lol
It's called Take Care and I've seen the branch used with the Owl Punch alot, but was feeling the need to use as much of the set as I could.  I've been going back to the basics with my classes, due to the fact that card making should'nt take so long, so I'm pretty comfortable with it, just sometimes I feel the need to add more.
I started with Whisper White base, then layered a plain piece of Early Expresso and then another cut down a bit more that I ran through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder. I layered the Marina Mist onto it and then another Whisper White.  I colored the branch with Early Expresso and Old Olive markers and stamped it on the white.  Then stamped the nest in Early Expresso onto the branch once, and then onto a piece of Crumb Cake and punched it out.  I stamped the eggs in Marina Mist and fussy cut them out and popped them up on the branch.  I finished it off by stamping the Take Care in Marina Mist.
That is all I have for today.  Go out and enjoy the gorgeous day!
