Hi! Well..looks like I am on a baby kick this week and cannot give enough love to A New Little Someone. I have had this Stampin Up set since 2003 and it is, by far, my favorite baby stamp set. That bunny just calls my name every time I need a baby card. 

Anyway, so I am playing along with this week's Retro Sketches. Here is my card followed by the sketch.

Thanks for stopping in. Always good to have visitors. :)

Birthday Wishes

Hey you guys! Thanks for stopping in. I know I had a card for the Retro Sketches already today, but here I am again with another. I love the sketch. I love sketch challenges! I'm also playing along with this week's Curtain Call challenge and this week's Color Throwdown. Take a look at these colors for Curtain Cal and then for Color Throwdown.

Aren't they beautiful ?This card is for a very good friend whose birthday totally slipped my mind. It was the day Ava and I went to the Ed Sheeran concert, but that's no excuse, right? So, I'm ending the card along with a Starbucks gift card as a peace offering. Maybe I'll get invited out for coffee! haha.

So, here is the card and then the sketch: 

I finally got some of the little sequins from Stampin' Up! and used some of those: 

Aren't they just adorable? I must get more of these. 

Anyway, so here is the sketch:

Well, that's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping in!

Get well soon...

Hi guys! I have a quick card that I thought I had already posted to this week's Freshly Made Sketches, but apparently had not and it's ending in 15 minutes! :)

So here is my card followed by the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by. 

Retro Sketch - Baby

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday. So far, mine has been great. Just came from my monthly massage and hubby is grilling brats. Then, in an hour or so I have a Premier jewelry party to go to and then hubby is cooking dinner. This day should be sweet! :)

So, this morning I decided to play along with the Retro Sketches for this week.

I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow, so I thought I would go ahead and create a card for the little one. I still haven't decided whether or not I am going to make a matching bag...I guess that depends on the type of gift I get...which I have yet to do. LOL

Here is the card: 

I have had that stamp set from SU for years and years. It is still my favorite baby set. I think it is called A New Little Someone. JUst love that bunny and the little booties,too! 

Thats all I have...I hope you have a great weekend!

Healing wishes & a question!

Good morning! Ah, it feels soo good to be off today. Our weekend was packed and that is the complete opposite of out normal weekend. I got my hair cut (don't like it), Ava got her hair cut (adorbs), we went to the movies, the mall, out to eat, we were just EVERYWHERE! If weren't off today, I'd be a force to reckon with at work....ok, maybe I wouldn't. LOL

Anyway, I am playing along with Retro Sketches again this week. They have some seriously great sketches. Here is this weeks sketch:

And here is a get well card I made with it:

I really like those colors together. The Fine Linen and Early Espresso really complement each other. Well, that's all I have today. 

Question: I am working on my photography skills...not quite there yet.  Do anyone own a light tent or an Ott light or how do you take YOUR pictures? I need some tips!

key to my heart

Hi everyone! Quick post as I'm running late for work and feeling rather poorly. I made this card for this weeks Retro Sketches challenge. I just LOVE this sketch

I decided to make a Valentine's themed card a little early. :)

I had never used that Papertrey Lock & Key set. It is a fun little set with lots of possibilities...especially if you have the matching die. Well, i'm out of here..laters!

Simply Fabulous

Hey ladies! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so excited for this card.  I just love the way it turned out..just like I pictured in my head.  Don't you love when that happens? 

I am playing along with a challenge that I've not ever played. It's called Retro Sketches. This weeks sketch  is just adorable and its from a card that Kasia made last year.  Here is the sketch: 

And here is what I did with it. 

 And yes, once again I am playing with the "u" from Verve. I really like how this card came out. Hope you do,too! Laters..
