Happy Anniversary Sweetheart

This is my second post of the day, so please scroll down and see my DT post for Creative Inspirations below.


It has been raining on and off all week here in New York, It has been dark, dreary, and the air is just plain old heavy. The fog rolls in from time to time and I must admit, it is fun to watch it roll in like that, but not fun to drive in it. It has been so bad, that I honestly can not even see the building across from me, nor the beautiful beach. When the weather gets like this, it triggers headaches. So all week long, I've had what I call a background headache and nothing would take it away. So sorry, that I didn't visit anyones blogs, I'll try and play catchup. Knowing how my headaches go, I knew it was only a matter of time before that background headache turned into a full blown migraine. So on Saturday, my fears came true, I couldn't even get out of bed till 1 o'clock.

Late in the afternoon or not, my anniversary was the next day, I had to get busy making hubby a card. This image reminded me of when we first met and we would sit on the beach like this and talk for hours, So I took out one of may favorite sets from Stampin Up Summer by the Sea, and made this for him. Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!!!!

Kenny K's Trouble Maker-Pretty in Pink

I am so excited that I was picked to be this weeks Guest Designer at Kenny K's. What an honor, especially when you see all the talented ladies on the team. So once again ladies thank you so much for allowing me to participate with such an awesome team.




This week the theme is Pretty in Pink so I decided to use my Doodlebug Design papers called Cupcake Boutique which were perfect for the challenge. I first printed the image on computer paper, then taped the design paper onto the image, placed it back into the printer and reprinted it so that I was able to paper piece her clothes.

Oh Baby Bundle of Joy

This adorable digi image is from Mo's Digital Pencils This week it is Pat Franks turn to host the challenge and she choose babies. With so many pregnant teachers at work, one can never have enough baby cards. We average at least 5 every year and this year is no exception. I also followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers, where the new DT member Rach has given us a fabulous sketch to play with. So of course I had to play along.



I also did the lips and cheeks a little different this time, I used E93 Tea Rose for the lips then the cheeks going over the cheeks again with E00, I think it gave it a softer touch than the usual R20

I found the word Baby at believe it or not Targets. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use it on an easel card. I held it in my hand and didn't want to put it down and dug and dug hoping to find another one, but alas, it was the last one that said Baby. I think I'll hit another Target, would love to find this in pink or blue, heck I'll even take another yellow even though it's not my favorite color to work with.

Teacup Fairy for Babies 1st Valentine

My principal asked me to make a card for her grandsons first Valentine. As soon as I saw this adorable fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil I knew it was perfect for her. She collects tea pots and tea cups. Let me tell you I have always admired digi's but I never had the correct paper to print, the paper would always jam in the printer and what a pain that was... but now that I have the right stuff, watch out guys, cause the skies the limit...lol





This was my first Mo's Digital image but with so many adorable images, I know I'll be back for more.
