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? 

(Buy Now - $2.99)

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! 

(Buy Now - $2.99)

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!

We survived another Monday! :) When I have an exceptionally good weekend, Monday's can be a challenge. Seems I have a difficult time switching gears and getting back into the routine of the week. Can you relate? ;)  Well, you didn't stop by to hear me complain, did you? I suspect you're here for a little dose of creativity? How about a crafty share?

I created this baby card with the adorable Sugar and Spice collection from Doodlebug Design.

There are so many cute critters in this line and I adore critters!

Giraffes, birds and wide eyed frogs, oh my!

And polka dots too!

And stripes. Do you like?

I hope you have a little time to get your craft on today. Thanks for dropping by! Enjoy your day!

It's a Girl!

Hello! As I mentioned yesterday, I have colorful Doodlebug project for you using the new Sugar & Spice collection. This is another must have line! I love all the prints, pretty colors and sparkly glitter!

By the way, have you ever heard the joke about the difference between dogs and cats? You know the one where the dog says, "Scratches, my favorite thing! Dinner, my favorite thing! Playing ball, my favorite thing! Riding in the car, my favorite thing!" A cat on the other hand says, "No. 4,545 days in captivity." Why do I mention this joke? I feel like the dog when it comes to scrapbook supplies! Doodlebug, my favorite thing! Bella Blvd, my favorite thing! Buttons, my favorite thing! Die cuts, my favorite thing! I mean it...these are all my favorite things! Whatever it is I'm playing with and doing at the moment is my favorite thing! ;)

For today's post I have a double crafty share, a card and a nursery decor piece. What's not to love about this collection!?!? I adore those yellow duckies!

I put the little duck parade die cut on a wood stick to create a flag out of it. Flags, my favorite thing!

Another favorite thing....buttons! The buttons in this collection are so yummy! Truly, they look like little candies!

The yellow button would taste like lemon and the little brown button would be the flavor of root beer! ;)

Have you run across those simple $1 wood frames at your craft store? We have them at our local A.C. Moore. I've decorated dozens of these in all kinds of different styles. I did a holiday one that was published.

These are very easy to make. I use a square scalloped Silhouette die cut for the frame opening. All the rest of the papers are from Doodlebug.

Sugar & Spice, my favorite thing! ;)

I hope you have a lovely Thursday! We're getting very close to the weekend! :) Ah...how I enjoy weekends with Christopher home from school and the hubs off of work, spending time together. My favorite thing! It's just another day away!

Thanks Sew Much

T.G.I.F!

Here we are, another weekend before us! I have a colorful, happy sort of card share for you to kick off the weekend.

I've been wanting to play with these mini wood spools for a long while. I've seen some cute cards using them in all kinds of creative ways!

Doodlebug's colorful papers are perfect for a project like this when you want a lot of color and a mix of patterns! I used the new Sugar and Spice baby girl line and as you can see, it's not just for baby girl projects!

Wherever there are clouds, I must add a bird or butterfly! ;)

All products used for this card are Doodlebug with the exception of a couple favorite Papertrey die cuts.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a lovely Easter! Hopefully, I get to read all about it and see some pictures on your blogs!

As always, thanks for stopping by! I love visitors and comments!!!! :)

T.G.I.F.

We're officially on Spring Break starting today. It's a teacher work day so Christopher has the next 10 days off. He's quite excited and announced that he will be creating a Spring Break Schedule today. That's our boy...planning just like mom and dad do! :)

Today I have a card to show you with another new Doodlebug Collection called Sugar & Spice Sweet name! :)

By now you must know I'm a huge sucker for adorable animals! This giraffe is so stinkin' cute! Both Doodlebug and Bella Blvd. came out with baby lines at winter CHA and both are loaded with the cutest critters!

There's so much in this collection to love...buttons, new pearl gems and twine. Ooh la la!

As I always say, all Doodlebug lines and colors coordinate perfectly so that you can mix and match new product with existing goodies you already own. I had these mini Candy Shoppe rub-on letters and the Doodles Card Stock Stickers, that I used for the sentiment, in my stash.

I love the yummy button assortment that's included in this new line! These citrus colors look like candy!

It's been a cuteness overload post, right? ;) By the way, this file folder card base is one of Doodlebug's Build-a-Cards...must have!

I can't believe that we may be able to go strawberry picking this weekend! Usually this annual event happens in April, but because of the warm weather we've had lately, the strawberries are ready! We'll have to see if the weather permits as there are thunderstorms and rain in the forecast.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Kathy :)
