baby shower card

Well the baby shower was a huge success!!! I had to admit something to myself yesterday..I am NOT a good baker!!! Just because I took a few cake decorating classes does not mean I can actually BAKE a decent cake or cupcakes!!! The first batch of cupcakes I made ended up in the trash :( So had to start over with a second batch that turned out good enough to use at least!!! so that put me far far behind in getting a card done! So I quickly went though a bunch 0f old sketches I had & this is what I came up with....very quick & easy!!! Sorry I can not remember who's sketch it is to give credit but it was really an easy one for me!
Today I am working on a few last valentine cards so I can get them in the mail!! It is really cold & rainy here today so it's a perfect craft day!!!

Thanks for todays visit! Happy crafting!!!

Diaper cake

Happy Saturday!!! just a quick post today as I am busy getting ready for a baby shower this afternoon...and as usual I have waited 'till the last minute to get things done! So far this AM I made this diaper cake!!! love the way it turned out!!!! Except wish I could have found a blue or white stuffed animal for the top...can't believe I couldn't!!! It is made of rolled diapers & stickers, SB paper & ribbon. So fun! so easy!!! If you google diaper cakes there are lots of tutorials on how to make them. Well better run...still have a card, glass charms & 24 cupcakes to make & decorate all before this afternoon!!! Iam on the lookout for a good card sketch so I can get a quick card done!!!! have a good one!!!!

Beautiful baby girl

I am not much of a scrapbooker...but I did make this little photo holder for my niece Melissa. I think it turned out super cute! I printed the photos that she E-mailed me in Black & white on water color paper & then added a bit of color with my SU chalks. Melissa actually took the cute photos herself.

I have made similar photo projects using flip-flops instead of the little baby shoes. This is the third one of the little baby ones I have made.

I also embellished these little onesies with iron-on transfers that I printed off my computer using regular old clip art. If I remember correctly you can never have enough of these :)

And last but not least I decorated this little box for baby Evie to put everything in along with a gift card to target for diapers!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!! we are finally a little cooler here today!!! Woot Woot!! only in the 80's. thanks for stopping by!!!

Bella is preggers!

Yep! that's right...Bella is preggers!!

This was so much fun! I did lots of paper piecing instead of coloring. Just love the DP also, I got it from our local scrapbook store. This is for my friend Nina, today is her baby shower. Little Preston will be arriving in early June.

So I better get this card in an envelope & head out the door!! Be back later this afternoon...lots of more projects to get done as well as see what you all have been up to!!! I just love Saturdays :)

Hope you all have a good one!!

Until later,
