Finally! An update!

I was made aware yesterday by my cousin, Tanya, that my blog has not been updated for 5 weeks.

Oops! So, in honor of my stalking cousin LOL, here is some new stuff. :)

And for the record, I LIKE BLOG STALKERS ;)

I went downstairs to create a couple baby cards today.

My husband's sister became a 1st time grandma last night

when her oldest step-daughter had a baby boy.

Baby Boy Giraffe

The card base is marina mist, with a whisper white

layer embossed with the swiss dot CB folder.

I stamped the giraffe image from SU's

Wild About You stamp set in marina mist

and drew a ribbon around his neck.

I mounted that on marina mist, and trimmed

the sides with an SU border punch.

I stamped the sentiment from SU's

Whimsical Words stamp set in marina

mist, punched it out with SU's large oval

punch, then layered on marina mist punched

out with SU's scallop oval punch.

The card is finished off with SU's blue

gingham ribbon.

Wasabi Wild About You Baby

The card base is wild wasabi with a whisper

white layer. I stamped the images from SU's

Wild About You stamp set in marina mist,

daffodil delight, pumpkin pie, and

wild wasabi inks and/or markers.

The sentiment from Su's Baby Talk stamp

set is stamped in wild wasabi.

It is finished off with SU's wild wasabi

stitched ribbon.

Then I decided to work on something
for one of the Splitcoast challenges.
Well, I got side-tracked.
But I did get two more cards made. LOL

Because I care

This card base is certainly celery with a whisper

white strip across the entire width, stamped

with lavender flowers from SU's Because

I Care stamp set. Certainly celery and

elegant eggplant ribbons run across

the strip. The main image is from the same

stamp set. I inked the image with lavender

lace, elegant eggplant, certainly celery,

and always artichoke markers.

The main image has lavender lace ink

sponged around the edges and is mounted

on elegant eggplant.

The sentiment from the same stamp set is

stamped in elegant eggplant.

Treat Yourself

This card base is pacific point, with the front
embossed with the swiss dot CB folder.
The whisper white layer was cut out with
 the Top Note sizzix die.
I stamped the bubble gum machine image
from SU's Treat Yourself stamp set
in memento tuxedo black ink.
I colored it with the poppy parade marker
and the zig painty for silver.
The gumballs from the same stamp
set were stamped in pacific point, melon
mambo, rich razzleberry, wild wasabi,
daffodil delight, and pumpkin pie inks.
I inked the sentiment from the same stamp
set with the poppy parade marker so that I
could separate the 2 lines.
There is a crushed curry dotted
ribbon across the middle behind
the top note layer.
