Hopping By to Say Hi!

Hello Blogland! 

I just wanted to stop by and share a little card I made for my in-laws. 

They both have been feeling a little yucky lately and I wanted to send them a little "Happy". 

This little fellow is a cutie patootie from Tiddly Inks called "Little Hopper - Toadally Amazing". I have had him colored for over a year and was saving him for something, but I just didn't know what. I think I just liked to look at him. I'm okay with sharing him now though. 

I "toadally" missed the Green Challenge over at Tiddly Inks last week. Lol

This would have been perfect. 

I am entering this card into the "Anything Goes" challenge over at Through the Craft Room Door.

Diaper Invitations

Good Wednesday afternoon my crafty friends! 

My second Grandson Luke is a week old today (man, I feel old) and I wanted to share the baby shower invitations I made for him. I knew I wanted to make one of those cute diaper invitations I spied on some of the regular card/scrapbooking sites, so I went on the hunt for a template. I saw so many out there but my favorite was over at Homemade Gifts Made Easy , I just loved it. 

I chose a precious light blue and a soft gray to go with this adorable patterned plaid paper. 

It seems like I am so obsessed with gray lately. It has become my favorite color. 

Here is a picture of the whole sha-bang. 

There is actually just one insert, but I wanted to show you the front and the back. 

Here is a close up of the cute little pin and baby feet charm....Awwwwww! 

I made his monogram in Microsoft Word and used a spellbinder to make a medallion, 

then backed it with a scalloped circle punch. 

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blogosphere.

I will leave you today with a whole lot of cuteness!

I would like to introduce you to my two Grandsons, Landon and Luke. 

Long time...no post!

Hey, I finally made a card! After a loooooong break from paper crafting I am slowly working my way back into my supplies. Don't get me wrong, I have still had some crafty days with my girls 

Kim of Oak Pond Creations and Linda of Turtle in the Sand. 

I haven't gone totally COLD TURKEY! My access to my supplies has just been limited. 

Hope to be back soon with another creation or just to visit all my old bloggy friends.

Accessories: EK Success- scallop & stamp border punches,

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #163 - April Showers...Spring Flowers

Good Morning Blog Land! I am running a bit behind this morning....Arrrrrgh!

The date totally got away from me and I forgot to write my post last night. I guess I was too busy loving on that sweet, adorable, new Grandson of mine. Lol (great excuse, right?)

It is Tuesday and you know what that means. It's time for another fun challenge at Sassy Cheryl's. 

Our Sassy DT Sista, Dawn of Dawn a New Day has chosen a perfect challenge this week...

April Showers! We are having a week of rain and clouds here in Myrtle Beach. 

It makes me sooooo lazy. Not good for my whole work attitude.  :)

I chose my favorite umberlla toting cutie, Calli. She is my go to rainy day gal. Don't you just love her pig tails and that sweet little half smile? She just melts my heart. You can find her HERE in a group of images called Callie's Busy Day. Three images for $4.00!!! You can't beat that with a stick. 

Stop on by the Challenge Blog and check out the beautiful cards made by my DT mates. They sure are a wonderfully talented group of ladies. I am so honored to be in their company. 

Happy Crafting Y'all!!

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #163 - Monochromatic

Hello and Happy Tuesday Blog Land! 

It's time to put your craftiness to the test in the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge. Our VERY Sassy Ms. Dawn from Dawn a New Day is leading the way this week with a Monochromatic theme. I am a little out of my element on this one so be sure to check out all the other Sassy Girl's creations on the challenge page for some more inspiration. The only thing I knew going into this challenge was that I just HAD to use my new "Honeycomb" embossing folder. My friend Mel is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and she left me a little package on my porch last week and I have been dying to use it. What do ya think Mel? 

Any who...this is the end result of my latest crafty expense. 

Thanks to you all who joined us in last week's sketch challenge. What a fabulous group of entries. We sure hope to see you again this week. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the Internet and as always...

Happy Crafting Y'all!!
