Baby Shower Card

Finally got this w/e's baby shower card made, still need one for next w/e.  Just don't have any mojo right now in the card making area. If my TAC friends and other online friends could wing some prayers our family's way, we have a relative with a new cancer dx, and two unknown diagnosis until next week, I would appreciate it. Back to cheerful, supplies for my future granddaughters card:
Stamp: Great Impressions

Baby Shower Favors

These are the favors for my Daughter-in-laws baby shower.  Inside

 is a Dove dark chocolate bar.  I used various papers from Michael's,
 my Amuse flower die cut, and Sweet Baby stamp from
TPC Studios.  Just over a week until  they are in town.

Can't wait to see them.

Golf

 

This is one of Doodle Pantry's pre-colored digi's images, Golf, and one

of the two patterned digi papers that come with it. I did a tri-fold with the folds

 overlapping, the circle image holds the flaps down.  I added some Washi tape

 and some black jewels to add some contrast. As much as I love to stamp and color,

these images are so much fun to create with.

Tweet House

I won this adorable digi: Tweet House (designed by Lisa Laura) from Clear Dollar Stamps Blog Hop at their talented designer Laura's website and just could not wait to create with it.  This design had been building in my mind all weekend and finally got to it this evening.  I made a baby album this w/e, baby shower invitations, favors, and squeezed in a bit of housework, laundry and husband time. I hope you found time for creating this w/e!

Cat card

I sent this cat card to my friend Shirley and Wayne a few weeks ago when their sweet cat, Thomas, they had  for 20 years died. He was of course my favorite of their pets, so had taken pictures of  him on my last visit, knowing his time was coming and colored the image to look like him. The pattern for the crocheted heart can be found on Split Coast stampers.

We had a mysterious visitor in our garage and attic section behind the garage for a week.  Finally spotted and coaxed down the friendliest cat.  Buttons (Olivia) was chipped so her owners picked her up after 3 days.  We believe  they abandoned her at our house as we left the garage open the night before and she was petrified of the outdoors. We're glad she went home but also sad as we were ready to adopt her if she didn't, I've never had a pet so she would have been my first (other than fish and turtles but you can't play with them.)

Handcut Chevron

I saw a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers on how to make your own chevrons. I cut strips of my Kaiser Craft English Rose Paper and showed my friends Shirley and Diane how to make one and we took them home to finish cutting them out and create with.  I used my new A Muse flower die cut, crinkled up the flowers and leaves, stamped  and fussy cut one of  Darcie's heart & home stamps, knotted and stained some tulle from Archiver's with an ink pad to co-ordinate and have a birthday card ready to go for a May co-workers birthday at work.  Oops, better work on my April birthday cards.  This made a nice 5x7 to fit all the group signatures at work and May is the next one.
