Cuddle Up

I just love this image.  It's from Stampin Up.  I've had it for years and years and never used it.  Finally I was able to put it to good use!

As always, print paper is from my stash.  Card stock, as always, is from Bazzill.  My favorite of theirs is the Prisma line.  It looks like lightly hammered card stock.  Excellent for cards, just a bit of movement in it....great for when you want a change from smooth card stock.  Border punch is Martha Stewart and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts (don't they just have the most gorgeous flowers?).  I also purchase and use flowers from Prima.  The heart I purchased off Ebay.  It doesn't show well in this photograph but the white in the print card stock is embossed....it adds a lovely dimension to the card. 

Well, that's about it for now.  I'll post a couple more in a day or so.  Tomorrow I'm helping our son move back to town (he's been away at college).  It will be so nice to have him closer so we can see him more often than once every 4 months.  And on Saturday hubbie and I will be completing a built-in china hutch for our dining room.  I'm so excited as I've waited years for this hutch.  Okay, off to make a few more cards (I only have 5 boxes of them so far....not nearly enough! lol).  Nite everyone!



New Baby Boy

Hello ladies.  Sorry about the long 'vacation'.  I've been busy busy busy lately and it seems photographing my cards ended up bottom on the totem pole.  I've been in the purge mode lately, clearing closets, drawers and anything else that stores STUFF.  So now all that stuff is gone.  And do I have any empty cupboards as a result?  NO!  How in the heck did I fit it all in there to begin with?  lol  Anyway, I've been working on cards but haven't, as I said, taken the time to take pics of any.  So....here we are with pics galore.  I'll only post a few of them however.  Many are similar so it wouldn't do for me to load up the Internet with duplicates! 

Now, this card.  Background paper is from my never ending stash (although it's ending soon as I took most of it and put it in a box to sell at a craft sale).  Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, coloring done with Copics and border punch is from Martha Stewart.  Stamp is "Happy Family" from Stampavie.

Have a wonderful day/evening all.  Hope everything is good in your world.
