Somebody's Got Baby on the Brain

Have you noticed an abundance of baby cards on my blog lately?? Well, don't worry, I'm not announcing or hinting at anything. Just seems like everybody (except for me, of course) is having a baby! I cased this one from Carly. I just changed the direction of the card and the colors. It's simple and sweet.

Happy Sequential Day!

Happy 8/9/10 to you all!
I have a CAS (clean & simple) card to share today. It uses the Yummy stamp set from Stampin' Up (which I think is now retired?).

Jon's family is vacationing in the Wisconsin Dells, which isn't too far from us, so we are going to play mini golf and have dinner with them tonight. (No cooking, yay!) Summer is starting to wind down. I think I'm ready for fall (but not winter. I will never be ready for winter). Have a great day!

CardPatterns Sketch #76...x2

I made two different cards for the CardPatterns current sketch. The first one is a square 5 1/4" card. I need to make a baby card for somebody, but after I finished this one I realized it's more appropriate for a little boy, and I need to make one for a little girl. I think if I swapped out the brown for a pink or yellow, it would make a cute girl card.

 Supplies Used: Rubber Stamps (Stampin' Up Bundle of Joy, Stampin' Up Warm Words), Cardstock (Bazzil, Stampin' Up), Patterned Paper (Basic Grey Kraft collection, Jillibean Soup), Accessories (Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch, Making Memories brad, Nestabilities scalloped circles, lace, buttons)
The second card is a standard A2 size card, but I still used the CardPatterns sketch.

Supplies Used: Rubber Stamps (Unity Stamp Co. Stuck on You), Cardstock (Jillibean Soup kraft, Stampin' Up Very Vanilla), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday), Ribbon (American Crafts), Accessories (Basic Grey rhinestones, Martha Stewart Scallop Punch, sewing machine)

A Birthday Card and a Little Update

Well, I have lived here in Wisconsin for 2 months...and I've already rearranged my craft room! There are still boxes that aren't unpacked in other rooms of the house...Priorities, you know? :) I had to give up a few things that I liked about the old arrangement, but I like this so much better. I'm not so crowded and everything has a spot where it goes. I don't have to try and work in messiness anymore! But before we get to that, here's a card I made using the CardPatterns Sketch #74. It's a birthday card for my niece.

Supplies Used: Rub-ons (Crate Paper), Patterned Paper (Basic Grey Kraft, Cosmo Cricket Earth Love), Ric-rac (American Crafts), Rhinestones

And here's one picture of my new layout of my craft room. I won't bore you with lots of pictures...today. :)

Also, just a side note. I have listed a bunch of stuff for sale on Splitcoast. Stampin' Up, Unity, Hero Arts, and some odds and ends. Not having a job means I need to clean out the stuff I'm not using. Boo.

Thanks for looking. And now that my room is organized, I should be back to crafting and blogging more.

Going A Little Old School

I needed to make a baby card this week and I don't have a lot of baby stamps (something I should invest in I think!). So I had to go a little old school and pull out two retired Stampin' Up sets. I love the little teddy bear in the set and I'm not sure that I have ever used it before. It is rainy and cloudy here today, so I apologize for these pictures. I will try and get some better ones tomorrow!

Supplies Used: Stamps (SU! Bundle of Joy and Greetings Galore), Cardstock (SU! Very Vanilla), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and Garden Variety), Border Punch (Fiskars Apron Lace), Ribbon (May Arts), Button (SEI), Nestabilities (Scalloped Circle) 
 Supplies Used: Stamps (SU! Bundle of Joy and Warm Words), Cardstock (Bazzil), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday), Oval card and Scallop (Silhouette), Scalloped Circle (Nestabilities), Ribbon (Pink Pasilee) And since I'm showing you baby cards, I thought I would show you something I just added to my Artfire store. Awhile back I showed you a rag letter alphabet that I made. Well, I added an item to my store where you can get custom names made like the rag letter alphabet. Check it out. I think it's a cute idea for a baby gift!
