Baby Girl Card

Hello PEEPS! OY CARUMBA is it ever raining here in central Alberta! We have a rainfall and wind warning in affect right now - by this time tomorrow night, we're expecting up to 100 mm of rain and the winds are expected to hit 110 kms/hr! YIKES! That's crazy....my roof is already leaking :( I have some buckets up in the side attic and hopefully the wind will stop soon...it's driving the rain up underneath an unsealed part of the tin on the roof by the chimney. DH has a new "to-do" list and he doesn't know it yet LOL.... of course, he's away working right now :(

I decided to take a break from purging and housecleaning this afternoon and went to the gym with Melissa and then I decided to plunk my sore, tired body down in my craft room and make some baby cards for the store. I decided on pink ones first....I made 2 of these:

Stamps: Whimsical Words; Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette; Ink: Chocolate Chip: Accessories: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, choc ribbon, button, linen thread, eyelet border trim punch, Perfect Dots embossing folder, nestabilities, paper piercer, sponge dauber, dimensionals

This card qualifies for the "embossing" challenge over at Practical Scrappers.

I am off to *try* to sleep in this wind - 110 km/hr they are saying and let me tell ya, my house feels it. It's an old house and it sure cools off fast with cold winds like today (temp is only +5C right now)....crazy!!!! Thanks for stopping in and sweet dreams!

Great things happen in 3's....

I am on a roll today!! I haven't stamped this much in a long time...it's been due for a while now. Somehow, life can consume you and the busy-ness of *life* takes over :( But...I have made it a promise to myself to try and do something creative for myself at least 3 times a week. If I get more in, then bonus for me! :o) OK...enough rambling.....onto the challenge:

I did a combo challenge again...this time I checked out Taylored Expressions for the sketch and here is what they had posted:

Then I hopped on over to Stacey's Stamping Stage for the Curtain Call Color Challenge. These are the colors she had for us there:

And I decided since those colors are screaming "baby" that's what I made. I am really lacking baby stamps I have discovered...I only have the Nursery Necessities stamp set, so that's what I inked up :) Hope you enjoy it.

Recipe:

Stamps: Nursery Necessities

Ink: Bashful Blue

Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Orchid Opulence, Almost Amethyst

Accessories: star punch, embossing folders, bashful brads, dimensionals, paper piercer, striped bashful ribbon, markers
