Happy Good Friday!

Oh man! It has been over a month since my last post, I'm slacking! I had went to a church event to help promote my buisness but not many people were there! I think it's because we never told everyone that you had to enter through the back. Oops! While I was there I saw a vendor who was selling nice baby products!

It's called "Sweetsation Therapy'. They sell all Organic baby products, and stuff for mommies too! They have everything from Morning sickness Lip balm (helps lessen morning sickness and motion sickness), Stretch Mark Cream for mommies, Baby Massage Oils, even shampoo that is supposed to help your baby's hair grow longer! Check 'em out! www.sweetsationtherapy.com

Audrey had gotten a bad ear infection, all three of us girls caught a terrible cold that plagued us for two weeks. High fevers and a cough, exhaustion was the word for the month!

I have been working on making a scrapbook for the girls. It's turning out pretty cute, I got two pages done... but I want to perfect it before I post it online! It just feels like it still needs something.

The girls keep me so busy, I can't believe how much I DIDN'T get done last month. Well here are some cards I managed to sneak in between their naps (and mine)!

Photobucket

Stamp Sets: Botanical Blooms SAB
Cardstock: Whisper White, Mellow Moss, Shimmery White.
Stamp Pads: Close to cocoa.
SU! Watercolor crayons for flowers and grass.
Ribbon: Retired Groovy Guava Stitched.
Pearls.
The Big Shot Die cut machine
Top Note Die Cut

I never finished this one... It needs something at the top but I can't figure out what! I had a scallop at the top and it looked like a little donut shop, but I'm not quite sure if I liked it!

Stamp Sets: Comfort Food Hostess Set
Cardstock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Designer Series Paper SAB
Stamp Pads: Pacific Point (sponged)
Ribbon: Retired
SU! Markers and Aquapen
Gold Brads
The Big Shot Die Cut Machine
Movers and Shapers Curly Label Die Cut

Here is a wooden box I made at my moms last downline meeting!

I purchased the box and background paper from Michaels. The flowers, Ribbon and pens/green paper were also purchased from Michaels. This was more-so a crafty project rather than SU! based. The pearl was from the SU! Pretties Kit and the K was from the Serif Essentials Alphabet die cut. I used Pretty in Pink Card stock and ran it through the Xyron Sticker maker on both front and back, Putting Dazzling Diamonds SU! glitter on the front. SU! sanding block helps smooth the edges of the box where the card stock isn't exactly even with it.

Stamp Sets: A good Egg, Itty Bitty Backgrounds
Card stock: Gable Green, Whisper White, Ruby Red, and Only Orange
Stamp Pads: Basic Black, Gable Green, Chocolate Chip.
SU! Watercolor Markers and Blender Pen
Glitter: Dazzling Diamonds
SU! White Jumbo Eyelets
Punches: Large Oval, Scalloped oval, Scallop Edge
Daffodil was bought from Michaels Craft store.
Ribbon: White Taffeta

This one is from my twin daughters to their daddy. They colored the Easter eggs themselves and even used the Aquapen to blend it! (With my help and complete supervision of course... 7 month olds tend to chew on the watercolor pencils more than use them!)

Stamp Sets: A Good Egg, Itty Bitty Backgrounds

I think it is missing some ribbon, no card is complete without it! I will have to add some if it wont look too busy! Till next time, blessings!

  1. Welcome back to posting Keri. Lots of fun projects. Luckily there are no rules about how often or when you "have" to post. Blogging is all about you and your schedule and sharing your creative output if and when....

    Your loyal followers will always be ready to greet you when you have the time to post.

    About your unfinished card I had a thought or two. What about using one of the Curvy Verses on the top section. Or the Coffee cup and Love you a Latte line from Pun Fun? Just an idea. On the other hand if the donut image is bugging you that can always be swapped out for something else :D

    That's the nice thing about cards. They are so imminently changeable. So much easier than a weaving project set up on a loom that starts bugging you halfway through. Especially if it took several days just to set it up and get it ready for weaving. Talk about committment!

    Glad you and the girls are doing better. Two rugrats do seem to double the fun of passing germs back and forth! Whenever my nieces were little and came to visit while sick not only did my husband and I pick it up but so did our cat that we had at the time. Cat's really don't like to sneeze! This one took it as a personal affront and blamed us entirely! Our Vet said it shouldn't happen but I can testify to Juano getting sick everytime the girls did!

    Take care and keep on creating! And say hi to your Mom for me.

    Love, hugs and blessings - Jean
