I got two awards. I am slow, but here they are. The first one is from Jeanette and the second is from Bethany. I will come back and link to their blogs. I gotta get ready for church. Thanks girls you made my day!

Wednesday DT challenge

Here is my take on the scented card challenge. I used true thyme for the base and stamped my C.C.Designs striped background with vanilla craft. On the right side at the opening, I distressed the edge. The scallop was done with my rectangle scallop nestabilies die in river rock. I cut off the side scallops. There is stardust stickles on the bananas. The card scents is banana scented and you can get them at All That Scraps! Yummy! She has lots of other scents and they last forever! Thanks for looking! I am hoping to have my new release stamps in the mail today to start creating for next weeks sneak peeks! Super fun stuff, you won't want to miss it! Have a great day and enjoy the possibilities!

Wednesday DT challenge

The challenge this week was a sketch. How fun is this one? I had a blast playing with my toys! (I mean tools) I asked my hubby last night if he thought I would ever grow up and quit playing with toys and coloring. He seems to think I am a lost cause. Haa haa. The base is creamy caramel stamped with my polka dot bg (C.C.Designs) in really rust. My copic markers are my favorite play toy now! I used prima flowers and airbrushed them. The tiny buttons in the center of the flowers were covered with stardust stickles. The SU hodgepodge brad in the center of the big flower was colored with my copic markers. Sooooooo coool! The little tag is chipboard cut out with a small tag cuttlebug die. It is stamped with chocolate chip craft ink and embossed with clear ep. The stamp is from the new C.C. Designs sentiment set! I love that thing, there are so many sentiments. I made a scallop border behind it with my new cuttlebug border embossing folder. Super fun! I wanted the zig zag stitching to be with linen thread so I unthreaded my sewing machine and stitched around the SU dp. After it was stitched I hand stitched the zig zag with my linen thread. Easy peasy and all the holes were in the paper. Go over to the All That Scraps Blog to see what the other girls did. If you want to play along, we would love to have you!

Review Preview Friday's 08/15 Bear Hugs

Christine decided it would be fun to have a review preview on Friday and give you another peek at the new release sets! There is going to be a gift certificate giveaway! Fun huh? If you go over to the All That Scraps blog you can get the details. There will be links to all of the players for today. I needed a little album to put my cute baby pics of Eastton. You know Grandma brag book? I found this little album in the dollar spot at Michaels eons ago. I altered it and now it is the perfect place to put little wallet sized photos of my precious grandson. I used Bear hugs for the bear and our fabulous new sentiment set for the You make my heart happy. Designer paper is retired SU. Ribbon from a Jody ribbon share. I used SU buttons, but they were the wrong color so I inked 'em with my chocolate chip craft ink and let them dry and then distressed them a bit. The little ties on them are linen thread from SU. I used my cropadile to punch the holes through the album to secure the hodgpodge hardware brads. Have a super fabulous weekend and enjoy the possibilities!

So the verdict is in! He is adorable and he is a little piggy! He started at 8 lbs. 3 0z. and now he is 12 lbs 3 oz and climbing fast. They also discovered a problem. His umbilical cord formed wrong and he is now leaking urine out of his belly button. The only way to fix it is to have surgery. We are waiting from word from the Dr. to find out when they want to do it. We are going to have to take him to Primary Children's hospital in Salt Lake City. Poor kid. I love this pic of him sleeping on Auntie Andrea. Check back tomorrow and I will have another bear project to show you! Have a great day and enjoy the possibilities.

This is my first try at a suspension card. It was so much fun! I will for sure be making more of these. These bee's from the Bear Hugs set just make me smile. I think most of this is self explanatory. I got the instuctions for the suspension card at SCS. I glued tiny seed pearls to the centers of the prima flowers with crystal effects. The bee is colored with copic markers and used my Sakura gelly roll glitter pen to do the wings and the scallps at the bottom. The yellow is so saffron from SU and the ribbon is from SU also.
