Boy, oh boy!

Ashley over at Heart Hugs Designs is due to have another baby boy pretty soon now! The lovely DT of her Etsy Inspired Challenges is throwing her a virtual baby shower today. Sadly I am out of town and won't be able to attend. I want to post the card I made for baby Parker and let them know I was thinking of them. Have fun ladies!

Details:

Cardstock: DCWV

DP: Sassafras Lass

Stamps: Argus w/ Teddy PMS Stamps and "baby" from Unity Stamp Co

Ink: CTMH Twilight and Clover Meadow

Other: Vintage Buttons from OBP Strongman bundle pack, swiss dot CB folder, and Target Twine.

My First DT Creation! :)

It's June and that means I am a guest designer for the Etsy Inspired Challenge! WOO HOO!

This weeks Etsy shop is Chicy Creations. They sell all kinds of cute and adorable hair clips for little girls. So of course it was only natural that I decided to scrap my daughter's first hair cut and incorporate some of the fun colors of their clips. My daughter was almost 3 before she needed a real hair cut! hehe Please go over to Heart Hugs Designs to find out how to play along for a fun prize.

The background and strawberry cardstock are DCWV Nana's Nursery. The little frame behind the flower is a CTMH stamp from Baby Steps and the cute journaling frame is from BAM POP! The layout is fairly simple so I decided to add a little bit of bling by the journaling.

This is actually a two page layout and goes with the "after" pic in this post.

If "when it rains it pours", what is the opposite?

Anyone know? It just seems like I have had so much GREAT news in Blogland lately and I have even more to share with you today. So not only am I on the Etsy inspired design team this month (look for my first post tomorrow) but Emily at EAD Designs contacted me and I'm going to be their guest designer for June! WOW! I really can't believe it! I'm still in shock and I must say that I made the cutest layout last night with some lavender EAD vinyl rub ons. Come back Tuesday for the EAD Blog hop to see it!

Ok ok, I know, it's BLOG CANDY DAY!

I had 13 comments on my blog candy post, I wrote all the names down on an old envelope, put them in a hat and let Aurora pick the winner.

Congrats to .................... (aka Tifany) who said "Congrats! I think that Basic Grey has some beautiful designs and a good weight to their paper, but there are so many pretty papers out there from lots of companies. Love them all!"

I just need your address so I can get your goodies out in the mail!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for my first Etsy post!

HAPPY DANCE!!!

Ok, I just got a letter from Jen at BAM POP saying she was adding some of my cards to their online gallery, AWESOME!!

Today is my husband's 30th Birthday! I just wanted to share the card and trinkets I made for him. The notebook below was for family, friends, and strangers to leave fun messages in. There is some pretty funny stuff in there! The little "pockets" were party favors for the guests. They had a free drink ticket and quarters for the arcade in them!

All the stamps are BAM POP along with 99% of the paper too (the yellow polka dot paper is Sassafras lass). The cute little mushroom is a EAD Rub On.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!
