Baby Boy

 We have another baby in the family, my great niece had a little boy. I used my old dollar stamps from Michaels, I picked up many when they use to sell them.  I tried doing like a stitched look around like it is  a quilt but not sure if I really achieved that or not :)

• Studio G - Baby Boy stamps
• PPD - Mini stitched square dies
• Dritz - Serrated Tracing wheel (faux stitching look for background)

You can see the lines the tracing wheel made to section off the different areas.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, and hope you have a great weekend,

Happy New Year

 We woke up to such bad tragedy in our country today, praying that good will over power evil and we can have peace and show love towards one another and not hate. Praying for all the families in New Orleans that were effected by this terrible act.

I bought 3 Advent Calendars this year, I like opening the doors each day of the month and seeing what fun things are behind them for cardmaking.  It was my first year for Anna Griffins had 12 days of tags dies with special little dies to use as the holes in the die or you can leave them plain, so you can mix and match them, plus decorative dies to use on them, foiled cardstock and string to put in them.  Diamond Press also had their first advent calendar, and this was my second year to purchase the Spellbinders Advent Calendar and on day 7 they had this pretty layering stencil that I used on this card.

I inked one side then flipped my paper and did it again to get this look, using gems to join them and add a bit of sparkle. That left me just enough room for a sentiment to be stamped at the bottom, I did it on a piece of pattern paper.

• Spellbinders - 2024 Day 7 Advent Calendar Stencil
• Simon Says Stamps - Tiny words Birthday stamp
• Gems

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and every time you do, so thankful for the friendships I have made through the blog.

 I hope you have a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
