Perfect Day

I hope by now you have all had a chance to take a look at the spring catalogue. It is full of so many cute and wonderful things, this card uses just a few of my favourites. I am in love with the tea for two designer series paper (and the fabric too). The flower trim is also beautiful.

I hope you enjoy this card. I had fun making it. Stepped out of my comfort zone and made a square card for a change. I always worry about envelope size, but figured I would use my Simply Scored to make a pretty envelope to go along with it.

Happy Stamping,

Sale-a-Bration Fun

Isn't this card cute? I used a bunch of products from the upcoming sale-a-bration catalogue! I really like how it turned out.

Here is a close up of the ribbon and button and super cute stamps and designer series paper. There is also a great new embossing folder that you can earn during sale-a-bration but I am still waiting for mine to arrive, I'll share it with you when it comes.

I experimented and switched up the ribbon and button colours as well.

Here is the two of them together.

Happy Half Birthday!

6 months old?! Oh. My. Goodness! Time sure flies. I cannot believe my baby boy is 6 months old already! I am so excited to see where he goes, how he grows, and what life brings him, but I am also a little sad. I cry a little each time I put clothes away that no longer fit him. Sap. Anyways, I'll quit talking, onto the photos...

 

 

hehe I love this look. He does it a lot lately. This is a giant frog Gabe got from his great grandma for Christmas. It's bigger than he is.

As close as I got to a smile, please excuse my slippers.

 

At 6 Months Old Gabriel:

• weighs 14 lbs (no height as he has not had his 6 month appointment yet, only weight by fluke)
• Is sitting up on his own for longer periods of time
• Is teething like a mad man! Drooling, rosy red cheeks, the whole deal, but no teeth as of yet
• Is eating like a champ. We now have two meals a day. Cereal and a fruit or Veggie. He loves bananas in those mesh feeders and baby mum-mums
• Is more talkative and integrative everyday! Such a ham!
• Is a huge flirt!!

And of course I couldn't resist sharing some photos from Gabriel's first Christmas.

Family Photo

Fell asleep Christmas Eve and we had no where else to put him (at my aunt's house) so he slept in a box. It was great until he woke up and no one was around and he was in a box in a strange room. I think he was slightly traumatized when my uncle brought him out haha. Poor wee man.

Presents Christmas morning. Gabe's tower of Tupperware buckets, love these things!

Mommy and Daddy's favourite gift of all <3

 

God really has blessed me with an amazing family. Thanks for letting me share him with you.

Sympathy

For a change today's card doesn't use anything new from sale-a-bration or the spring catalogue. My grandpa called me the other morning and asked me if I had a sympathy card for him. A friend of his had passed away and he wanted to send one to his wife.

Sympathy cards aren't my most favourite thing to make (I doubt they are anybody's favourite) but as a reality of life, we need them every now and again (hopefully not too often).

I even busted out my heat gun for today's card. I haven't used it in awhile but it made me realize I miss it so I may have to start using it more often, also Stampin' Up! has a new pool party embossing powder that looks really nice! A bonus of the heat gun, on a freezing winter morning like today it really warms up those fingers.

Stampin' Supplies
Stamps: Fabulous Florets, Petite Pairs
Ink: Soft Suede, Versa Mark
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Accessories: Heat Gun, Victoria Crochet Trim, Gold Embossing Powder, Tulip Embossing Folder, Stamping Sponges

 

To get the different look on the stems I stamped the one in the middle and then I stamped off on scrap paper once and stamped back on the side again. I re-inked the stamp and stamped off twice before doing the stem on the other side. It shows how versatile the ink can be. It can be really vibrant if you want it to be or subtle if you would rather that look.
