{ Sketch this: cards #37 }

I wanted to post something for the weekend just in case I don't have time later.

I made this card yesterday for Sketch this: cards #37. The patterned paper is from Scenic Route Loveland collection. I just love the colors. The little heart card and glitter rick rack I got at Target dollar spot. Rub-ons are MME, Prima flower and Darice heart jewel.

Update on the baby: he is approximately 6 pounds and 9 ounces. He moves all the time, but is not descending into my pelvic cavity.

I have to go and get ready for my baby shower. Have a nice weekend.

{ Getting ready }

There is lots of cleaning going on at my house, and those last minute things that need to be done before baby gets here. I had nine months to get ready and I wait until the last minute. My mom will be here next Wednesday. I am super excited. She is arriving from Croatia and staying with me for two months.
I don't want to neglect my blog so I have to come and say hi. If you don't see me as often, know that I am here and will check in whenever I can.
Baby's room is all done. I want to take photos tomorrow and I will share those. I washed all the baby clothes tonight, they are so tiny and cute.
My baby shower is this Saturday and my friend from California is flying in tomorrow. I will share those photos with you, as well.

Here is a card I made with Impression-Obsession stamps: Love Is All Around. I stamped the hearts and then cut them out. If you like hearts, like me, this is the set to get. I love the little word border at the bottom.
Have a nice evening. I am going back to work.

{ Beate's weekend sketch challenge # 29 }

Beate is back with her weekend sketch challenges. Here is my take on it. Brand new stamp from Impression Obsession called Valentini - how fun!!!! The sentiment came from Sweet Hearts set.
For this card the heart and sentiment came from Heartlines set. You can check out all the new additions here. I stamped the heart, cut it out and used dimensional tape to adhere it to the Block Frame.

{ CPS sketch # 45 }

Well, I was trying to clean my room...and I had to make a card. I really like this sketch from CPS. Patterned paper is from Die Cuts With A View All Dressed up collection. Prima flowers, Making Memories brad, ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, the heart doily I got at Target the other day in their dollar section. They have all their Valentine's stuff out.

Here is one more card I did with All Dressed Up collection. I love all their embellishments and rub-ons, they are sparkly.

{ Winter Greetings }

Here is my first post for the year! I was thinking about changing my blog. I might look into that when I have more time.
Melissa has a challenge on her blog: "Chilly little card challenge". Create a WINTER card in either blues or pinks. Card must have glitter or bling---you know some sparkle! Must include either fabric or felt, and, must have a snowman on it---die cut, paper pieced, from patterned paper, sticker, etc.
Here is my card. I made the snowman out of felt and added beads for his eyes and nose. Buttons are KI Memories glitter brads. For his arms I used Heidi Grace heart pins. I added a flower, which I colored with ink, instead of a hat. All the paper is Die Cuts With A View. The little stamp is from Ink It! He (she) turned out really cute. Thanks for the challenge Melissa.
