FOR YOUR BABY

it has been so cold in the neighborhood. i do not like to go out when is this cold but had to go to a meeting on saturday morning for a musical my son is in where he got the lead. i then went food shopping since they are expecting another snow storm this week, better have some food in the house, ;p
i decided to stop at joann's and saw they now have the pink atg. i had a 50 % off coupon and bought a refill for it. if anybody knows where i can buy them by the case at a good price, please, would you shoot me an email or let me know in a comment. thanks!

this card is totally out of my color comfort zone but since i try my best to be versatile i played with pastels colors since is for a baby.

For Your Baby

5 inch square card

 the plane is the shadow of image#1 on the b is for boys cricut cartridge, the star is from a child's year image #46-- icon feature and i added a rub-on.

see the martha stewart ribbon???not too pleased with it but it was the one i had that matched better. i also inked around my images but not on the white border across.  i left that out of the inking process, ;p. that border is from straight from the nest, image# 32 using the layer/shadow feature.

the "for your baby" stamp is from one of my dear robyn's latest clear stamp sets called 

Happiest Moments

i have been using this set a lot lately and i will be using it for the graduation parties too.

 i finished my card with another cut of the plane on the inside.

any questions, please...just ask. i read all my comments...they feed my soul ;p

hugs and love to all--!!

BLOG AWARDS AND A CARD

Hello friends!

I have received a few awards in the past weeks and wanted to share them with you all.

I always get so excited when I get them. It always feels so good. But, you all know I like to share them with all my followers and I am asking you to feel free to grab the ones you do not have already. It is always hard to choose whom to give them too..

This one is the 

Versatile Blogger Award 

and it comes from my dear friend

Pam

 and

 from my other dear friend

Sheila aka Sassy Lady

 --------

This one below I didn't have and my dear friend 

Brigit

was very thoughtful too, and made me a proud owner of the  

Cherry on Top Award. 

 Thanks so much Pam, Sassy and Brigit for the beautiful awards.

Thanks from the heart!
(Remember that you can click on their names to go their blogs and get inspire for sure).

Now,

I have a card I made the other day, actually I made two with the same cut  from the

Straight from the Nest Cricut Cartridge.

Hey, chicka

 You can find this cage on page #35 of the handbook. I cover the bird with the one I punched from one of my Fiskars paper punches.

I can't remember the papers I used but the copper dots that I love so much are from a small bottle of dimensional fabric paint. The brand is Polymark and I got it from a ACM, M's or Walmart. I know it was from one of those places and the color is Light Bronze. You put a small drop on the paper and flick it with your fingers to flatten it a bit and voila...you get these darlings.

This is the second one.
Chirp Up

 The card base I used for both cards is  from A Child's Year,
page #50 I believe. 
(I better start making notes of what I do and what I use so I do not forget :)
I am so sorry. I promise I will get better).
This card I gave to one of my son's friends to give to his mom who is battling breast cancer.

The sentiments "Hey, chicka" and "chirp up" 

are from my  

Robyn aka My Pink Stamper

clear stamp sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

HOOT-ERRIFIC

The weather in the northeast has been 

Hot-torrific  

instead of 

Hoot-errific.

:-)

from the Tweetie Hoo Puns My Pink Stamper aka Robyn,  released last month. They are so much fun when you pair them with some cricut images. They work well too. I did notice they do get stained with the dye inks but not with the pigment inks I have. The stained ones keep performing as well as the non-stained ones; same quality on the stamped phrase. I thought to share this since I see a lot of you buying them and I wanted to share my personal experience with them. So do not get Hoot-errified if they get stained, lol.

Now I will introduce the card I made in this Hot-torrific weather  

(Thank You God for providing us with a central AC)

Hoot-errific

4.25 squared card

 I had a 4.25 squared card base already with the patterned paper on that I never got to finish so I made the little owl from Straight from the Nest. I cut him at 2.35 inches using my G and E. I also cut the branch from SFTN at 1.88 inch and put it all together. The owl cardstock is from Bazzill, a nice charcoal color and the wings, belly and leaves from some scrap MME papers I had. I did use Glossy Accents on the eyes and belly twirl but you can't see it on the pic. The branch base is from The Paper Studio kraft cardstock. All the shadow cuts are white from Wausau Linen cardstock and as I said previously, the stamp used for the Hoot-errific is from 

MPS aka Robyn.

Thanks for stopping by and please keep safe in this kind of hot weather.

It already feels like a 100 degrees and it is just 10:30 AM ET.

I still have to go to the gym but I will be back later on.
