SWEET NEW BABY

SWEET NEW BABY, originally uploaded by kimba7669.

Hey everybody -

Happy Tuesday! Today's card, I stayed away from the holiday theme and created a card that I am sending to someone in one of my Yahoo Groups. It's a card that will be used for a new baby's arrival. I love this stamp set by HeroArts. It is so sweet. I chose the light green since that is typically used when you don't know the sex of the baby and I can definetly see this card in a pink or blue color.....SO SWEET!

I hope you like the card. Maybe there's someone you know who is expecting a new baby and you can create this card to accompany the gift. I know they would love it!

Well, it's about that time. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Here in NYC it is a beautiful clear day. Today's high is 58 degrees and I am sooo happy that Spring is here. So, in honor of such a bright, beautiful, sunshining day, I have a created a card to match. I used yellows, greens, black & white. the stamp that I used is a HeroArts Block Stamp - A Real Poppy H2660. I stamped the flower using ColorBox Canary Yellow and I loved the way it came out!

Journal #2

Hello all -

Here is the first journal that I made using the glue. You are not able to see it, but the covers are slightly bent. I solved this problem by putting the covers between two large telephone books and then topped with a 20 lbs. weight.

Please, leave comments and let me know what you think. If you are interested in the measurements, please, let me know. I used Marcella 3D stickers that just so happened to go with the Anna Griffin paper I used. In any case, enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!
