A Sweet Bundle of Blessing!

Hi! Are you ready for the weekend? I am so ready to have my baby back from camp! (Although, I did take advantage of her being gone to clean her bedroom. And when I say clean, I mean get rid of stuff. She is a huge packrat - she does come by it naturally from both me and her dad! ) In case you are thinking that is awful, I didn't throw anything away that she will miss. Really! I promise!

When I first saw the Oh Baby! set from The Greeting Farm I wondered if I could make one of the Anya's hold one of the babies. (I know I walked around with Ronnie attached to my arm and hip for the first 2 years of her life!) I think it turned out pretty good, although I wish I could have done it without covering up half of Anya's face!

I used Anya from the Dress Me set and cut off one of her arms. I reattached it to the baby girl so it would look like she was holding her. The DP is from My Minds Eye, flowers from Prima, and buttons from Stampin' Up. The buttons are tinted with Copics to better match, and the images are colored with Copics:

Skin:R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:E50,E53,E55
Baby Clothes: R81,R83,R85, G000, YG21,YG23

Thanks for visiting! I hope your weekend is fabulous!

Baby Boy Teddy Bears!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great time at the release party for the new Greeting Farm stamps! I am so sad I wasn't able to make it - it was my weekend to help man the booth at Ren-Faire! (And I had to drop my daughter off at Girl Scout camp - I miss her already!)The faire was a lot of fun and we did really well - I only have one bodice left! I have to get sewing because the Scottish Highland games are in 2 weeks! But in the meantime - I got to stamp today! YAY!


I just had to make another card with Oh Baby from The Greeting Farm (one of the new releases from yesterday!) This set is so cute, with lots of options! Today I decided to just use the Teddy Bear, Duckie and Bottle. One of my friends at Faire asked me to make her a baby boy card, but not too pastel. I know this is a little pastel but I think the red takes it away from that a bit! The DP is some older paper I had in my stash from Melissa Frances, I borrowed a technique I keep seeing and loving on Tori Wild's cards for the sentiment, and it is colored with Copics:

BG11,BG13,BG15,T0,E50,E53,E55,R27,R29,R81

Thanks so much for coming by! It really means a lot to me!

Sneak Peak Day 2 - Oh, Baby!

Hi! So, do you have fun plans for the weekend? This is the last weekend of Re-Faire here, so I will be there all weekend!I may already be listening to Bawdy Pirate songs or watching Bad Shakespeare being performed at the "Tomato Show"! But I am also happy to show you a sneak peak of another new set from The GreetingFarm - Oh, Baby! This set is SO cute! I made my card with the little boy, but there is also an adorable little girl, a teddy bear, duckie, several other accessories and some cute sentiments! I love The Greeting Farm sets because they give you lots of options!


For my first card today I used DP from The Greeting Farm. Although it is not what you would traditionally think of as baby colors, I thought the sweet bunnies would be cute on a baby card! The layout is from a past Mojo Monday sketch challenge. The image is colored with Copics:

Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Clothes: BG11,BG72,BG75, Y23,Y26,Y28


My second card uses Baseball Ian, previously a Digi stamp only that will be available in rubber on the 15th! Last week, Marie at The Greeting Farm had a black, white and gray color challenge. I had so much fun doing the challenge that I wanted to play with those colors again! The baseball is from the set Pupstar and I cut the word Dad out with my Cricut!

Now be sure to go see the other DT members who always have something amazing to show!
