{ 2 Sketches 4 You, Project 365 - Week 19 }

How about a cupcake??? I received this cute set in the mail yesterday from Impression Obsession!!! Brand new and so adorable. It is called Create-a-Cupcake. I paper pieced the cupcake (Basic Grey patterned paper). The top is stamped on felt and cut out. I wanted to add some "real" sprinkles and I have all these beads that I never use. They are stitched by hand. I love how it turned out. I "curved" the sentiment on my acrylic block to go along with my scallop shape. This card is for Kazan's sketch 26.

Project 365 - week 19.

5.4 - Alex discovered how to pull the paper from the roll. 5.5 - we just got back from the doctor for his 15 month checkup. He found daddy's wallet. 5.6 - I bought him new pajamas last week and this was the first time he had them on. 5.7 - "Hello?" Anything can be a phone. 5.8 - it's been raining all week. We were both getting bored. He found coloring books and crayons in the game closet. That was a hit. 5.9 - I was trying to put his clothes on in the morning, but he escaped. This is where he ended up. 5.10 - right after his bath. I was playing with the new camera I got from Alex and daddy. I really like it.

How is your project coming along? Are you still taking pictures?

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge #19 - color challenge }

The challenge: robin's egg blue, butter yellow & spring green. I think these colors are pretty close. I did add pink flowers. Does that count? For this challenge I used CPS #114 sketch. This Lg. Solid Bird is adorable! I stamped Solid Cherry Blossom Branch in the background several times and one I stamped on cardstock and cut out. I embossed the background with Cuttlebug embossing folder. The sentiment is from Mini Messages set.

I hope you can take a little time to blog-hop to see the beautiful creations by the other Impression Obsession designers: Dina, Laura , Tina, Shirley, Jeanne and Deborah.

{ 2 Sketches 4 You - Laura's sketch # 25, Project 365 week 18 }

I have so many things to share with you this week. It's been raining and cloudy for the second week now. It's so gloomy. We haven't been out much due to the rain and Gymboree was closed because of the Swine flu. We are getting really creative around the house with games and fun things for Alex to do.

Here is my card for Laura's sketch 25. I love this new line from Sassafras Lass, Bungle Jungle. It's perfect for boys!!! A new challenge is up at Caardvarks: Create a ***NEW*** card incorporating a verse or quote. You have until Midnight on May 17th, PST. Our sponsor is Unity Stamp Co. and they are giving an awesome prize to the winner of this challenge. Here is my card using Unity quote stamp. I used Pretty Poppies collection from Autumn Leaves.

Project 365 -week 18.

4.27 - while cleaning my closet I found some large items that were taking up all the room. Alex loved my huge ladybug. 4.28 - he love the bear, too. He likes to give him kisses. 4.29 - Alex was finally allowed in my room, since he could walk around. It's not completely done, but soon. 4.30 - his newest obsession, phones. He loves to babble on the phone. 5.1 - I finally found something to keep him occupied while in the tub. He always wants to climb out or play with the faucet.....these little stackable bath cups were a hit. 20 minutes in the tub! 5.2 - photo before bed. We always do the same thing: wash, dress, water, story, good night kisses, bed. 5.3 - more phone photos. Some of these phones are pretty old and the batteries are dead, but he loves them. He copies everything we do.

See you tomorrow with a new Impression Obsession challenge.
