Sweetie layout

Here's a layout for you today.  I haven't gotten around to doing much of my own scrapbooking this year.  I've made some mini's for gifts, and I've done alot of cards but I've just not gotten to do alot of scrapbooking for myself and so I was happy to get this one done last night.  This is my Niece, Penelope Ruth, just minutes after she was born.  Isn't she beautiful?   We are all so excited about having another baby in the family finally.  We love her so.

So, to make this layout, I used a piece of patterned paper that my wonderful friend, Robin, sent to me in a RAK.  She say's its from a DCWV stack.  I just loved the paper. I used flowers by prima and recolections, and the clock  and the bird is a stamp from the grils paperie, the paper girl stamp set, and ink by momento.  The journaling stamp is from Autumn leaves, ink from clearsnap. The alpha stickers are from ek sucess and the ribbon is Martha Stewart.

OK, that's about it for this post. Thanks for stoping by and I hope you enjoyed the layout.

Birthday card for Naomi - 2010

I made this card for my dear aunt, Naomi.  She's such a sweet and beautiful lady and I wanted her card to reflect that.  I thought that this stamp set from Hot off the press with the tea pot was so perfect for her.  The stamp set is called Fancy a Cuppa and they are just so cute.  It not only includes tea but coffee cups and beans and a spoon and also a clock face.  Too cute.  I love them.  I also used the Life's Journey paper line from K & co.  I made the frame die cut and swirls with the Cindy Loo cartridge for the cricut. The die cut the sentiment is stamped on is also from cricut off the Sweethearts cart.  I used Close to my Heart stamps for the sentiment with chalk ink in warm red from clearsnap.  I colored the stamped tea pot with my Copic markers, distressed the edges a bit and used some vintage lace.  The red ribbon is from Martha Stewart.  Just a little bling on the tips of the swirls and I was done.  Hope you enjoy this little card.
