Audrey Aurora

Last Tuesday, September 25th at 6:33 pm, my granddaughter, Audrey Aurora, was born to my daughter Erin and her husband, Tyler!  Once we knew Erin was in labor, my husband and I took about twenty minutes to load the car and began our 7 hour journey to the hospital. We made it before Audrey was born, which made me very happy!  She is a gorgeous baby and we are already in love with her. She is so precious and each morning it was a joy to see her again! We had to head home today and I am missing Erin and her little family terribly.  I think that between my husband and I, we took about 400 pictures so that will help! I took quite a few videos too. If you are a new parent or grandparent, I am sure you understand the need for so many pictures!!!
 
Needless to say, I took a little break from stamping to be with my new grandchild.  I will start creating again and posting very soon.  I had promised some blog candy so be looking for that in the near future!!
 
Take Care,

Treats for Boo!

I was able to use some of my scraps from my stash of Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP for today’s card. I made my small squares using my 1 1/4 inch square punch and my large square with the Scallop Squares Duo die.  I love the Mixed Medley stamp set (Hostess set).  Do you see the little spider on the outside circle?  I don’t care for spiders around my house but the one on my card is cute!

Frightening Feline

We used to have the sweetest little black cat named Misty.  We lost her several years ago and I miss her so much.  Any time I see a black cat it reminds me of her and I knew immediately that I wanted to purchase this stamp set, Frightening Feline.  I love this little cat and decided she needed a bling collar!  My greeting is from the stamp set, Delightful Dozen, which is a very versatile set as it covers a wide range of holidays.

Thank you for stopping by!!

Melon Mambo Field Flowers

Today I used this stamp set, Field Flowers, for the first time. I’ve had it for a long time but I think I shied away from it because I knew I would have to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig and that intimidated me.  But really, it is not a hard tool, at all, to use.  I was able to position my flowers exactly where I wanted them.  I even used it for my greeting.  So easy!  I cut out an extra flower and placed it on top of my top flower with dimensionals.  Love the look!

Thanks for stopping by!  Let me know if you have any questions!

Baby Bundle 3×3

Love this baby card using the set Baby Bundle made by Jane Ries.  A 3×3 card such as this one, is the perfect size to tuck inside a wrapped gift or a gift bag.  I love the little details she added with the pearl, Baker’s Twine and her sentiment.  Adorable!!
