SCS Challenge for Today and a Baby Card!

Hey how is that for timing...I needed to make a baby card for the Minister and his wife at the church...so I decided on this style....well after the card was complete...I went to SCS to see what the challenge was for today...teehee....well it was to use small stamps....hmmmm....how much smaller can you get then this stamp from the SAB set called Very Punny....works for me.....so this cards is a 5.5 x 5.5 square card, made it this size cause it is the card that will be used for the group gift from the congregation.....it is layered on Bashful Blue, then Certainly Celery paper was ran through the cuttlebug with the embossing folder called Baby (at least I think that is what it is called) I left the Apricot Appeal Paper bare....I then layered the stamped piece on gold shimmery cardstock and layered that on Bashful Blue and then that is layered on gold shimmery cardstock....the brads are ones that I have had for awhile, the ribbon is from Stampin' Up and the saftey pin again is one that I have had for awhile......the "Blessed" is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set.....It really is very pretty IRL.....I was happy with the way it turned out...well I need to finish some house work and then get some groceries for the house.....have a good one...later gaters.....

SCS Weekly Sketch Challenge

Okay where has this past week gone! I was off for three days with the hubby with a long haul load...got home late Monday afternoon, and woke up yesterday feeling fine....well by lunch hour something had hit me and hit me hard.....I was down for the rest of the day and am feeling

a little better today...although I am going to go to the Dr.....thinking it is a sinus infection or so....so while I was sitting here today I decided I had better do some stamping..so I decided to do the SCS Sketch Challenge for this week.....Kinda like this card, although I can not get the scalloped edges quit right using the corner rounder...more work needed there....lol....so I started with a base of Pretty In Pink Card Stock from Stampin' Up, the patterned paper is from The Basic Grey, Blush Collection (I love this paper), following the layout challenge I was able to do this card, the stamp is from The Angel Company and is part of a set of Paisley's that they offer, I love all things Paisley, so I stamped in Chocolate Chip ink on a Piece of the Pretty in Pink Cardstock, sponged the edges in Chocolate Chip and added a little dimensional Bling (found these in the Bargain Bins at Michaels last week for $1.50)...the ribbon is a piece of May Arts ribbon...so all in all it turned out okay....this is a long weekend coming up for us this week, I am thinking that I am going to have to be out in the garden...I need to get the Potatoes and things planted...it is supposed to be very warm....I hope so....well that is all for now.....later gaters.....
