Blogging Friends Blog Hop

 Hey there stampers,

So glad you could join me for the first of the month Blogging Friends blog hop.  If you haven't been to my blog before, welcome to Canada!  So happy you are here!

This month's blog hop is featuring our favourite retiring products! Let me tell you, I have a lot of favourites retiring.  It was SO hard to choose.

I decided to focus on a couple of items that I will be keeping in my stash for quite sometime.  They are Something for Baby Stampset and Baby's First Framelits. 




A few week's ago I made a baby card for a lady at work.  We had a little pool going where we could sign up for a date and time and gender of the baby.  I guessed a baby boy with an early delivery.  Wrong and wrong.  A beautiful little girl was born but after expected.  So, I get to make another welcome baby card and this time for a girl!  Here is my card...

I used the onsie framelit on the front of the card....

and the stampset on the inside.  I also used the Stitched Thinlits to decorate the front of the card and my greeting is from my favourite, Teeny Tiny Wishes. The verse on the inside of this card is currently reitred and called Cuddles and Kisses.  Another great one to keep in a collection. 

Be sure to stop in and see all of the creations made using upcoming retiring products by clicking on each of the names in the list below or simply click on the picture below.  

Remember if there is a retiring product you would like, don't wait, some items are already sold out.  

Happy Stampin'

Global Design Project Challenge for a new Grandma!

Hello my stampin' friends,

I have a card to show you today that I am so very proud of - I just LOVE how it turned out!!!

The folks over at Global Design had a great sketch to follow this week and it was perfect to create a cute little baby card for my friend and downline who became a grandma for the first time!  

Here is my card...

How did I do?  I think it is a pretty good likening.  Here is a close up of my greeting.  I used the retired stampset Cuddles and Kisses - it definitely is a keeper.

I used some of my favourite things to create this card.....the Triple Banner Punch to create the Tempting Tuqoise and Watermelon Wonder banners and the Stitched Shapes Framelits to beautifully frame my greeting with Crushed Curry.

Don't forget to love the inside of your card!  For this I used the stampset Something for Baby.

Stampin Celebration Challenge

Hey stampers,

It's time for another challenge over at Stampin' Celebration Challenge....and it's sketch time!  I LOVE a good sketch and we have a good one for ya today! 

Awesome, right?  So I was thinking about what type of card to make.  And realized I don't have any cards in my stash for a new baby!  I found a patterned paper that was speaking to me and decided on some complementing colours to create the rest of my card. 

I used the Something for Baby stampset and coordinating Baby's First Framelits to create the images for my card.  I popped each one up using dimensionals to add to the layering effect.  My greeting is from the stampset Balloon Celebration I stamped it directly on my DSP ...I am really like how that looks.  Finally, I added a tiny bit of Whisper White Baker's Twine. 

Now, hop right on back to Stampin' Celebration Challenge - we are looking for some guest designers - our next one could be you!

Hope you will join us!

Happy Stampin'
