Frightening Feline

Hello everyone! Is it just me, or did October sneak up on some of you, too? Oh well, even though it snuck up on me pretty quick, I'm super excited October is here! That means Halloween is just around the corner!!!! I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for Halloween cards and treats this year and we still need to go pick out our pumpkins for carving! And get decorations for the house and for work! EEKKK! I feel so behind!

Well, to get that inspiration going, here is a pretty cool card that one of my friends and fellow demos got to demonstrate at our Stamp Camp last month.

That Frightening Feline (128105) stamp is so super cute! And the distressing around the card stock layers is a great touch for this card. And adding that little strip of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (126906) is another nice touch :) But I'm a little biased because I like banners. hehe.

The 'happy halloween' sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (Clear 127802, Wood 115370). And for those Big Shot fans out there, isn't that Argyle folder (127750) so cute?!?! It was a must have for me and I ordered it right away!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend :)

Baby Shower Favors

Hello! Happy Friday :) And yes, today I'm going to share more baby shower stuff! Here are the favors that I made. Remember those flower clips that I shared with you awhile back? Well, I was so obsessed that I finished these weeks before the baby shower! hehe. Click here to check out the key chains that I've also made with these fabric flowers.

I've had this polk-a-dot fabric for awhile and thought they would be perfect for the baby shower. And to tie in the purple theme, I added purple buttons on each flower. I made some black with white polk-a-dots.....

And I made some white with black polk-a-dots. I made way more than I should have but knowing all my aunties, they would want to go home with at least 2 flower clips - one of each color. hehe. And I must admit, I didn't mind making them :)

And of course I had to use the Baby Boutique stamp set (Clear 126352, Wood 126350) again. Aren't those baby booties so cute?!?! And gotta love MDS2 to make little tags :) I added a little Thank You tag to each flower clip.

These flowers are so fun to make! And thanks again to my friend Marita who showed me how to make them :) She's super creative and has so many awesome project ideas. Hop on over to her blog - Made By Ritz - and check out some of the stuff she's created. Pretty awesome :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy Friday!!

Onesies & Outfits

Hi! Hello :) So this has become one of my new obsessions. Once I started with the fabric iron ons, I couldn't stop! I went a teeny tiny bit over board with the gifts that I made for my niece. Can you tell? hehehe. Here are some of the onesies that I made for her. When I thought of what fabric to use, of course I went for the Flirtatious fabric (122335). Gotta love the Wisteria Wonder, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White color combos.

I was going to just make some onesies, but when I saw these white tees and pink pants in the store, I just had to get them and add some SU flare :)  For the onesies and outfits, I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507) and the Fun Flowers Bigz L die (121812) to cut out the different shapes. Then I used the Fabric Adhesive Roll (122194) to adhere them onto the fabric. So easy, right?!?!

I had so much fun making these for her! And I can't wait to see her strut her stuff in this SU gear :)

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Diaper Cake & Cupcakes

Hello! Here is the diaper cake that I made for my SIL's baby shower. I went simple with pretty floral ruffle purple ribbon on top of sheer purple ribbon. Of course, after the party, my mom called dibs on the floral ruffle ribbon. hehe.

And since he is going to be a big brother pretty soon, I made a little diaper cake for my nephew, too.

And do those flowers on the top of the diaper cake look familiar? I borrowed them from the bud vases that I made for my mom awhile back. Click here to check them out if you missed them.

Here are the cupcake toppers that I made for the cupcakes. Gotta love MDS2 and punches! And there's that cute turtle from the Baby Boutique stamp set (Clear 126352, Wood 126350). So, funny story.... I had all the cupcake toppers made and ready to go then I realized... hello! I should order the cupcakes! hehehehe.

Even though I don't eat chocolate, I know that there are a lot of chocolate lovers in my family so of course I ordered chocolate cupcakes along with white cupcakes. On the chocolate ones, I had them add colored sprinkles and on the white ones, I had them add purple spray.

I thought the cupcakes turned out pretty and I know the white ones were yummy and I'm sure the chocolate ones were, too :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello, Baby Invitation

Hello everyone! This will be another week of baby shower fun :) My sister-in-law had her baby shower and I wanted to share all the fun stuff that I was able to help out with. She was so sweet to let me make the baby shower invitations and as soon as I saw the Baby Boutique stamp set (Clear 126352, Wood 126350), I knew I just HAD to use it.

My sister-in-law loves turtles and green so I went with this image and Lucky Limeade ink (126984). And she also mentioned she wanted purple for the baby shower so I went with Wisteria Wonder card stock (122922), ink (126985) and the very pretty 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon (122973).

The 'hello, baby' sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials stamp set (Clear 126457, Wood 126455). My mom convinced me to go simple, but to add some texture to this CAS invitation, I used the Perfect Polka Dots Folder (117335).

And I used Early Espresso card stock (119686) as the card base to bring the colors together. I do like how the brown, green and purple go so well together :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
