Spring Showers

If you follow the uber awesome Paulina on her personal blog, Pretty pink Posh, then you know of her puffy heart love for sequins. After seeing some amazing creations using her beloved sequins, I just had to have some of my own. She purchased her's from Ellen Hutson (link on bottom right of her blog) so that's where I went for some blingie goodness. Unfortunately they were sold out of several colors I wanted but I did manage to pick up a few beautiful colors. The pictures do not do the colors justice, they are sooo pretty!! I was talking to Paulina about buying some sequins but not being able to get all the colors I had wanted and true to her sweet self, Paulina shared some of hers with me! Isn't she awesome???

When I saw the blue sequins I instantly had a vision of what I wanted to do with them. It's not often that what I plan in my mind works so perfectly on paper, but this one sure did....

 I can certainly see why she's addicted and truth be told, I'm seriously addicted now too! ;)

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!!!

trial invite #1

So a while back I made this little card for my sister-in-law after receiving some most AWESOME news. Well, it's time to start planning the baby shower....or do you say "babies" shower since it's twins?? Ohh well, ya'll already know I have terriable grammer ;)

I'm in the midst of making a few samples for the shower invite...so many cute stamps to choose from is making it HARD to decide! Also, since it's a boy & a girl, I had to incorporate both colors. Here's the one I decided to go with. I'll be showing ya'll the other mock-ups I made next week. Gonna be busy busy busy making 40 or so of these...wish me luck! ;)

I "antiqued" the little pull our card so it wouldn't be so bright white and will print all the shower info on it. Don't ya just love the teeny heart background??

Under the Weather

I have a dear friend that recently had surgery - oh she is doing well but I was thinking of what I could make to send to her.....and this is what I came up with...




And now for a closer look....



After paper piecing the ballon stamp last week, I decided I wanted to try it again. I think it worked out rather nicely, don't you?

Stamps used in this card: J135 Lg Open Umbrella, F184 Under the Weather Sentiment
