KWerner Color Callenge #46

It's time again for another color challenge from KWerner. This week was a little difficult for me. I would never normally put this colors together, but I think it was a good growing experience. I finally got the Martha Stewart butterfly punch, and I wanted to use it for the challenge this week. I had this idea in my head to use the negative space on the card, and I think it came out the way I had envisioned it! I like how it turned out and I think my friend will too! So here it is, I hope you like it!

Recipe:

Paper: My Mind's Eye, Deja Views, pink, black, & red CS

Stamp: Autumn Leaves- Happy Messages
Ink: Stazon-Jet black

Accessories- Black sheer ribbon, butterfly punch, black marker

Have a blessed weekend!

Top 15 in Color Challenge

I am so excited! I have been playing in Kristina's Color Challenge for a couple of months. This week I was picked in the top 15!! I don't know if ya'll have noticed but there is a lot of entry's in that challenge, so this is a really big accomplishment for me! :) It is so nice to have someone else like my work and not just my husband and kids! Thank you all for the sweet comments!! It really does make my day! Have a Blessed Night!

Not Lucky... Just Blessed!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! My daughter has a friend from school, her mom had a little baby girl today, (I should say BIG girl), she weighed 13 lbs. 13 oz. The lady has 4 kids and all of them weighed over 10 lbs. when they were born! WOW!! That's a lot of baby!! So her baby was born on St. Patrick's Day and weighed the lucky 13-13. I don't believe in luck, I believe it's just blessed! So this is my sentiment on my card today! Don't focus on the handwriting, just the message! The design idea was from Dawn McVey. I LOVE her style in cards!! I also love the way she ties her bows, I finally got one to look a little bit like hers! This ribbon was another $ bin find from Michael's, when I saw it I fell in love! I finally bought Martha Stewart's butterfly punch and it went perfect with ribbon! Hope you like it!

Paper: Best Occasions,SU! green CS, white & dark green CS

Birthday Party Invitations

My daughter Autumn is having a birthday on March 26. We are having her a slumber party next weekend. She is inviting a couple of her close friends, so I made some invitations. She will be turning 11! WOW!! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday she was born! I'll quit crying now. :) One to the card. I found these stamps in the $ bin at Michael's, I thought they would be perfect for her card, so girly!! I also did a little bit of water coloring, so fun!! I found the design for the invitation over at Chavez Designs. She is so talented! Go over and check her out if you haven't already! I think I will use this same design to make my son Chace's birthday invitations too, his birthday is April 5! My baby boy will be 8! They grow up so fast! So another party the weekend after hers. Well here's the invitation! Hope you like it!
You can see where I stamped the high heel inside!
And I stamped it on the envelope!

Have a Blessed Night!

New Look

I'm doing a little bit of changes to the look of my blog! I wanted it a little bit more simple! I want to create my own title, does anyone know of a site I can do that with? If anyone knows of any, please let me know. Thank you! It's late, I'm going to bed! Nite!

Baby Burb Cloths

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, still working on taxes! (YUCK) Anyway, my daughter's teacher from last year had a baby about 2 months ago. I already made her a baby scrapbook, but I when I found a pattern for burb cloths, I had to make some for her! I found instructions for baby burb cloths from Susan Weinroth's blog. Check her out she does amazing work. I haven't sewn since Home Ec. in High school, so after reteaching myself how to sew, I came up with this. Please excuse the not so perfect stitching. :) I found this fabric from Walmart. I just loved the print, so cute! I made the card a while back, but just added some stitching. I hope she likes them! Let me know what you think!
