A Deer baby shower

Well I had a few minutes so I wanted to share some pictures from the baby shower I hosted this past weekend. It was for a very dear friend who has been struggling for years to get pregnant and now is expecting twins a boy and a girl very soon. I will apologize now for the quality of the pictures I am no photographer and the showr was held in the basement of a church so the lighting was not ideal but you should get the idea.

The cookies I made and fosted with royal icing, I love that stuff but this was only my second time trying this stuff and it does take a little getting used to. I then packaged the cookies in plastic bags and hung them from mini clothes pins from branches that I stuck in sand in some terra cotta pots that I had painted and added ribbon and tags to. They were a hit, there are also some chocolate covered marshmallows which are super fun and tasty to boot! I also with the help of my best friend Angie and my sister Holly made the diaper cakes. I used the Cindy Loo Cricut cart for alot of the decor. My friends pastors wife made the adorable cake which was delicious! I made the cupcakes they were butter pecan with butter cream frosting. We had a great day and I can not wait to meet these two little blessings!

Mojo - Sympathy

Well today I needed to make a sympathy card for a lady whom I used to work with who lost her husband.It is always so sad to have to make these cards. For this one I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch the paper is from Fancy Pants and is called Mabel it's from the Stella and Rose collection which I am currently in LOVE with! I used a Plain Jane scripture stamp from Verve, the decorative doily and rolled flower Die-Namics dies from MFT. I do not love how this card turned out but it will have to suffice as I would like to get it out in the mail in the morning!

Bunnies For You

Well did you miss me? Sorry for the long absence I spent the majority of last week prepping for a baby shower I was hosting on Saturday. I will have pictures to share later today, but now it's time for another H2H Challenge. This week the challenge is to use at least 3 images to create a scene-how fun? I love creating scences and I love this month's SOTM so that's what I used for my scence. I also used new Sophia paper and added lot's of layers, I stamped my scence twice and cut out the second set which I had colored first with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. Then I used 3-d foam tape to pop them up from the 1st stamped images. I used some new flower shaped buttons from CTMH'S pink collection and a little bakers twine. You have got to leave here and go immediately to H2H to see this weeks amazing work from the design team and this months guest design team member Mary Gunn Funn. To play along just make sure you are using mostly CTMH products and then link up your card, you have a whole month now to play along with our challenges and be entered to win a spot as a top 10 winner or win a prize package of some great CTMH goodies.

Color Challenge Heart 2 Heart

I am always amazed at how quickly the weekends fly by, but alas it is Monday again and time for a color challenge at Heart2Heart Challenges today. We are using Gypsy, Creme Brulee and a touch of black. For my card I stamped my background using the February SOTM called Friendship and today is the last day to get it so if you want it grab it now! The sentiment is also from this stamp set, the flower I hand cut and rolled, added a little Prisma glitter and a black opaque. Everything is CTMH except the butterfly punch I used which is MS. I so hope you will play along with this challenge it's a fun one and you have a whole month to join us. All you need to do is use mostly CTMH products and then link it up on the H2H blog. Wait until you see the amazing work of the design team this week you will be in for a real treat.

Angie has shared a beautiful card and she is offering up a great prize package, so be sure to check her out here.

My 1st Waltzing Mouse Sketch

Well today was the day I got to complete A Waltzing Mouse challenge sketch. It was a super easy sketch and I just so happened to get some amazing new Stella & Rose paper packs from My Mind's Eye in the mail today. On  the tag I stamped the border from the Ecclectic Edges SS and the sentiment from the Unity ss both from CTMH. That fabulous ribbon is from Really Reasonable ribbon. I seem to be obsessed with felt rolled flowers lately and this card is no exception. I also used my 1 3/8 in circle punch to punch through the front of my card and then attached the flowers.

Vintage Bunny

Okay, so hopefully my title is not misleading my card is not really vintage but the bunny definitly is. I used the bunny from CTMH'S Sensational Season ss which is the March SOTM and the sentiment is from the new Birthday's Card Chatter set. I colored the bunny with Copics and paper pieced the dress then cut it out and put her ontop of my paper doily with 3d foam tape. The lovely ribbon is from MS and I added a croched flower and button from CTMH. The paper is Miracle from CTMH as well  and I followed a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches . Overall I was expecting a better turn out for this card but hey somedays it just does not flow the way I would like!
