Happy New Baby

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY LILEE ARIE!!

My Cousin had her baby last Saturday, December 20th. She is beautiful!! She is 1 week old!! Unfortunately she lives in Arizona and we are in Wisconsin so we have to rely on email to see pictures of her.

Lilee's mom is my son's Godmother & he was very distressed when he found out she was pregnant. He thought that she wouldn't love him anymore.

Since Lilee's arrival he has checked my emails and text messages daily to see if there are any new pictures of her. He keeps bugging me to take a trip to AZ soon! He continues to find similarities to be sure that she is his baby cousin! It is kinda cute.

These are the baby shower invites I made for her, the announcements were along the same lines.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Hugs & Wishes

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Whisper White (regular & textured/lamb), Mellow Moss, Basic Black.

Accessories: Mellow Moss Gingham Ribbon, PUNCHES: Word Window, Scallop Circle, Boho Blossom, Small Oval

Simple Rustic Rooster

I have been wanting to play with my new stamp set: RUSTIC ROOSTER. This is another sneak peak at the 2009 Spring/Summer Stampin' UP! Catalog. This is one of the new Level 2 Hostess Stamp Sets. I will also be doing this card for an upcoming card class at work.

I started by stamping the rooster with Basic Black & used Blender Pens to color the rooster with Real Red, to get a couple different shades. I also used an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker to trace the little bit of grass at the bottom of the image. The I stamped the "friend to friend", from the new Love You Much Stamp Set, in Basic Black.

Supplies I used for this card are as follows:

Stamps: Rustic Rooster & Love You Much

Ink: Basic Black & Real Red

Stampin' Write Marker: Old Olive

Accessories: Blender Pens & 1/4" Black Grosgrain Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!!

Sneak Peak at a New 2009 Stamp Set

I couldn't find my camera so I used the camera on my phone to take the picture. Sorry if its not the best quality.

There is another local demonstrator that likes to host swaps and it usually pretty helpful when needing ideas for new stamp sets.

This set will be part of a January special that will include the new stamp set LOVE YOU MUCH along with a pack of Candylane DSP and the new Heart to Heart punch, which coordinates with the stamp set.

So, this is my submission for the swap. I wanted to do something different, that wasn't the typical red/pink for Valentine's day.

Supplies used to create this:

STAMP SETS: Love You Much, Holidays & Wishes

PAPER: Close to Cocoa, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White & Candy Lane DSP

INK PADS: Close to Cocoa & Chocolate Chip

MARKERS: Bashful Blue & Pretty in Pink

PUNCHES: Heart to Heart, Ticket Corner, 1/16" Handheld Circle, Wide Oval

ACCESSORIES: Gold Brads, Bashful Blue Taffetta Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, & Light Blue Fine Cosmo Glitter

Hope you like it!!
