Do you recognize the line I used for today's project? Yep, the adorable new Pebbles Special Delivery collection. Cute, cute, cute! 

In other CardMaker news...I'll be participating in a blog hop with them and Tsukineko on Friday! So, I've got to run and finish my post for the big day. Hope you can hop on by then! There will be a lot of creative projects to ooh and aah over and a fun and inky prize up for grabs! :)

Oh Boy!

Have you seen the latest baby collection, Special Delivery, by Pebbles? It's absolutely adorable and I couldn't wait to dig in a make something to share with you!

I created this layered look using a nesting set of stars and clouds dies from My Favorite Things and a sentiment die from Papertrey Ink.

For those of you who are following my crochet adventures...here's a look at one of my latest projects...

...coasters! I created these with a free pattern from Tuts, a craft tutorial site I discovered on Pinterest. As a beginner of crochet, I found the pictorial tutorial easy enough to follow and I love them! So far Oreo kitty hasn't wrecked any...although he has knocked them to the floor on a couple occasions! ;)

Oh Baby

T.G.I.F! I have a couple of baby cards to share with you today. Both projects created with a polka dot theme. Babies and polka dots just go together, right?

This first card was made with Bella Blvd's Baby Boy collection. I never tire of making projects with this little chipboard giraffe....he's so darn adorable!

My second card was created with Doodlebug Design's Sugar and Spice line. Just too cute for words! That little frog with his great big eyes is so funny! Makes me smile! 

Do you know anyone having a baby? Both cards are for sale in my Etsy shop at just $2.99 each! 

I'm off to go have breakfast with the hubs. He took the day off so we could enjoy some one-on-one time together. I love that he does that! :) Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Hello!

How are you this fine Tuesday? Have you been out to vote yet?  Here in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, our schools are on a two hour delayed schedule to give people a chance to vote this morning. It'll be interesting to see how busy the polls are.

Well, I have a cute little giraffe baby card to share with you today that I made a while back.

I used Bella Blvd's Baby Boy collection.

This giraffe is my favorite!

I used some Papertrey Ink alphabet dies and some Doodlebug twine too.

Speaking of baby boys...our new little one received a clean bill of health at the vet yesterday.

Christopher wants to name him Oreo. Well.....he does look like an Oreo doesn't he? :)

Thanks for visiting!

Cute Croc?

Hi!

How are you on this glorious fall Friday? I'm getting super busy with some special crafty projects. I can let the cat out of the bag on one of them. For the month of November I'll be guest designing for Birds of a Feather Kit Co! Isn't that cool? I'm looking forward to receiving their awesome new November kit and putting together some fun projects for you! This will be the first time I work with a monthly kit so I'm really looking forward to it and I'm up for a new challenge!

Recently Paper Crafts magazine had a call out for baby cards using cute animals. Did you hear of that one? Did you submit anything?  I sent in a few cards including this crocodile one.

I suppose he wasn't cute enough to make the cut! ;)

Well I think Mr. Croc here is pretty cute, but he just had too much competition with all the adorable monkeys, giraffes and elephants accents available. Poor guy, it's a competitive world!

I created this card with the Bella Blvd. Baby Boy collection.

Well, I look forward to seeing the issue of Paper Crafts and all the fabulously cute animal cards that will be published.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Thanks for your visit!
