Bot Birthday

I made some time this morning to make a card for the mojo monday sketch this week. It has been weeks since I have been able to participate so I was glad I made a few minutes to play. I used a new stamp set that I was able to pre-order as a demonstrator this week. It will be available starting July 1 in the new Idea Book and Catalog. We have a birthday coming up in our family soon so I used the Birthday Bot from this set called Lots of Bots.


Enjoy!

Last Chance Lists

June means the start of another Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog is just around the corner! That also means that the Last Chance list (formerly called the retirement list) has been announced too. You can view all the last chance stamp sets, accessories and decor elements at my website. Just click on the Shop Now button to see all the retiring items, some of which are up to 50% off! (Note: Last Chance accessories available only while supplies last).

Today I made some Thank You notes for when our baby arrives. I like to have those all ready to go so I don't have to think about it once he arrives.


These cards use our In Colors from 2008-2009, which will no longer be available after this month. If you need to stock up on any paper, ink refils, or accessories in these colors, don't wait as they do sell out.

Enjoy!

What I've been up too

Before you read my post...you have to go check out Sweet Baby Things. Then you can come back and look at my pictures. ;-) I met Monica last year and got to know her better at our church's Bible study. I have been blessed by knowing her and would love to have you go check out the new (and fabulous) dresses that she has on her site.

A couple weeks ago I promised pictures of the sewing I have been working on while getting ready for our baby to arrive. Finally, here they are. At our ultrasound, they told us it was a boy but if we end up having a girl, you will see this stuff get added to my etsy shop!

This is a blankie made with Minkie. I had to fold it funny for the picture because it has the baby's name on it.
Bibs that coordinate with the burp cloths.
Baby undershirts - I also made some long sleeve ones too.
Burp cloths
More burp cloths
This is a quilt top I put together that will have to wait to get quilted. This one is just for me...not the baby :-)

This is the baby's quilt. I totally copied my sister Lou, she made one just like it and when I saw it I knew it was the quilt I would sew for our baby.

Enjoy and don't forget to go check out Sweet Baby Things!

Birthday

Just popping in to show you my page from last weekend for my scrapbook club and a birthday card I made for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge today. I needed a birthday card for someone this week and my stash is getting quite low so I used the sketch for today and one of my favorite stamp sets...A Little Birdie Told Me. I have also been busy and was glad I made some time for stamping!


There is also another little surprise behind the card that I hope the recipient enjoys! It is wrapped in Good Morning Sunshine DSP.

Here is the page we made for my club. We used the new Jumble Alphabet and pieces of the Sweet Nothings Simply Scrappin' Kit.


I will not be posting much right now since we have started the field trips at our family farm. We have around 100-150 kids each day coming for pony rides, hay rides, animal feeding, barn tours, and fishing. This is one of our busiest months all year! I have also been spending some time sewing more stuff for the baby and soon the baby will be here! I'll try to share some pictures soon of all the stuff I have made so far.

Enjoy!

Nesting

I should be getting ready for my scrapbook club meeting on Saturday. Instead, my nesting instinct has taken over again and I am cleaning the toy room. I mean really cleaning. I am vacuuming every surface, getting rid of junked toys, cleaning crayon off the wall, rearranging...you get the picture. Usually when I get the nesting bug, I start sewing, even if is isn't something for the baby. Sometimes I have to clean a drawer or closet, but today it's a whole room. At least I am ready for my class on Thursday and I still have a few nights to finish my page for Saturday.

More pages

A few more pages from last weekend...

Using the Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin' Kit.

These next 2 are a 2-page layout using an older Scrappin Kit that I don't remember the name of. It was for weddings.


Enjoy!

Week 16 of 52 sketches

I got my page done for this week! I love the sketches at this site and am bummed I missed a few weeks in there. Oh well! I can always go back to work on those later. I love how this weeks page came out. I used the cutter kit on almost all the paper edges to distress them and really wrinkled up the circles that I cut out. I was also able to use up lots of scraps from my Bella Rose DSP paper pack too. Yeah! To see the sketch this week, check out the blog here... 52 sketches. I also have a blinkie on my side bar right under the hit counter. Then you can check it out any time even I don't have time to participate that week.


Enjoy!
