I can't get enough...
of Bitty Baby Blessings! I have to say this is one of my all time favorite sets!! The paper piecing was pretty simple with these shapes. Everything I used is by Papertrey Ink - the cardstock, patterned paper, stamp set & ribbon.

A goodie box for a stamping friend!
I used the Nesting Label by QuicKutz to make this tag. I stamped the words & the poppy is a rub-on.
The chartruese box is from Archiver's - I love the little boxes for presentation of a gift or sending something in the mail!
Inside the box I had a couple of the newer QuicKutz Embossing Folders that I had picked up along the way.

Baby Thank You's...
I made 40 thank you cards on Friday to give to a friend for her baby shower gift this weekend. They are similiar in design to the invitations that we made. I used my favorite onsie from the Papertrey Bitty Baby Blessings set. I stamped it on various scraps of paper, so there are 4 different patterns. I used a polka dot embossing folder on the bottom portion of the card. I'm also including a set of labels with everyone's name & address that was invited to the shower so that when the Mom to be is ready to write thank you's she will have everything she needs!
The thank you for the baby gift words are from AMuse Baby Wishes clear stamp set.
Bitty Baby Blessings!

Another cute Memory Box sample. This stamp is called Clear Tree Border. It looks like they used glitter to jazz up the card!

This was a card idea that we saw along the way on our road trip. I have this stamp & want to try it! The stamps are by Memory Box - looks like they used Wild Roses & Mod Tree Border for stamping.

It's a Onesie Party!
The table is ready for the girls coming over to help me with the baby shower invitations.
Here is a start - we have a lot of onesies to cut out! Did you know that you can stamp 40 onsies on a 12x12 piece of paper??
The baby shower invitations turned out just darling!
Thank you Ladies!!

Lovin' this Set - Paper Piecing!
I did some major Paper Piecing on this card. I stamped the main image on a colored piece of paper (green check). Then paper pieced everything on top of that in various other coordinating patterned papers. It may look like a lot of trouble but I was pleased with the outcome!~
All the pieces glued down & in place!
All the patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket the Material Girl collection. I took a class at Archiver's & we made cards using the paper & then we were able to keep the remaining paper.

Lovin' From The Oven
I had a couple of people in mind when I bought this set. Lovin' From the Oven is by My Favorite Things.
A very fancy chef with her little black dress & pearls on!!
You can personalize your Chef with someone's name on the apron or on the mixing bowl!

Updated My Copic Chart!
Now that I have a printer that will handle heavy cardstock I was able to update my COPIC marker chart! I like to have this handy when I'm coloring so that I can find the best match to papers. I use this guide all the time!!
