I inked up the ruler and the globe on white paper and grabbed the trusty Copics to add a little color...fussy cut the images, and propped them upon a few layered die-cuts and such!  The sentiment "You're Out of this World" is super cute for all occasions!

Have a Lovely Day - STB #20


Loving the new sketch, STB #20, over at Seize the Birthday today!  Head on over and see what the other talented gals whipped up for your inspiration!


I thought I'd try out this beautiful color combo, cQc #195, over at ColourQ along with the FREE Cue Card challenge at CAS-ology!


It's difficult to find patterned paper in purple tones, but I stumbled on a pretty pack at Jo-Ann's a few weeks ago...a line from Kathy Davis called Journeys...comes in handy when I need a little splash of violet, or Orchid Opulence in this case:)

I grabbed those buttery Gelatos again to create a watercolored look on the rose blooms!  Easy...just rub the Gelatos on your craft mat, spritz with water, and use as a stamp pad of sorts!  Beautiful!



Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Bundle of Joy Times Two


A blogging buddy of mine recently brought not one, but two bundles of joy into the world.  Congratulations, Nicki and family on the arrival of your precious twin baby boys!

I used the Monday Mojo Sketch #299 and the Tuesday Trigger: Scene in Tangerine as the inspiration of my baby bundle!



I found the CUTEST baby boy outfits...the t-shirt has a darling little rhino and the pants are a cool camo print!  


Here is the bundle for both baby boys...each little guy gets his own outfit and keepsake card:)
