Goodwill Sunshine Baby

Happy Sunday! I certainly hope all is well with you. I would like to say my heart and prayers go out to all those effected by the catastrophic situation in Japan. We are so blessed in this country and should thank God everyday for all that we have.

This bright little baby card was soooo much fun to make! The first pic shows the depth of the card the best, whereas the second one shows the true copic coloring of the wee babe. I chose to use the Sweet Stop Sketch for the design and a MO Manning digi stamp for the focal point. This baby fairy is so sweet! The card stock is from Stampin' Up, Mike's and I used tag board as the base and colored everything with copics.
The oooh so cute duckie DP is from Frances Meyer and the adorable Baby Play Things DP is from Rainbow World, I think they both work out perfectly.
On an adventure to Goodwill I found a baggie full of baby party favors one of which turned out to be terrific for the sentiment; I just had to include the feetsies, so I added shadow with copics and mounted them on a Quikcuts tag I made. They are so cute!

Next I made some vellum flowers with rhinestone centers and I even though not in the design I just HAD to add the baby ribbon that has rattles and teething rings on it (this ribbon was also from Goodwill- what fun!). And guess wha? There werealso little plastic duckies in that baggie too---the best 50c I ever spent!

the sweet little baby fairy needed a little somepim' somepim' so I used glitter on her wings; EVEN fairies in training need sparkly wings to flutter. (giggle). I am so happy I got to share her with you and I think she really needs a cuddle!

Vintage Birthday Wishes Easel Card

Just a couple quick posts for today. A friend needed a victorian Birthday card for her future DIL so I created this for her. I used Bazzill cardstock, a DP with no name on it, from JoAnn's. I also used Label Four from Spellbinders and my Lace Circle punch from Fiskars for the matting.The Rhinestone flourish is fromWay2Scrap, the large flowers and the roses I inked and cut off of ribbon trim from HobLobby; as is thebraiding. I used a scrap of DP from my stash to make the accordian base flower, and put a pearl brad in the center. The Birthday sentiment is a Free Digi from Bizzy Becs

Morning's Glory

Good Morning! My wish is that everyone is having a Blessed Day and that they are enjoying themselves in Blogville. I always spend waayyyy to much time looking at everyone else's creations and then panic when I realize I am about to miss a closing date...Yikes! Come on...you know we all do it...lol. But I have a valid excuse; I have been with my youngest granddaughter. This pic was taken last night at my other son's house. Zoey is so good natured and is a social butterfly at 19 months. She made the rounds to every one's lap. Lol. I am so very thankful they came to visit from Ca. In the second pic are my youngest sister's young adult daughters.

.
That said here is today's creation. For this card I used a JustRite Stamp I purchased at Joan's Garden. [There is still time to enter the JustRite Blog Hop Challenge, there is a Fabulous prize to win.] My pictures are not the best because it is raining and very grey outside...and lamplight give some of the pics a yellowy tint.

The papers are Bazzill and the doily is from the Dollar Store. Since I wanted the flower to really pop I used minimal embellishments.

The flourishes are from Way2Scrap and the single pearls are from Recollections. I also used my Spellbinders circle die, cut the scalloped circle in half and embellished it with more pearls.

I hope you enjoyed the card and leave a comment...I definitely appreciate them.
