WELCOME Baby Frankie

Good Morning, I'm super excited to announce that my good friend Jen W. had her precious little baby girl Frankie yesterday. She is absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to meet her! Momma and Baby are both doing well and are healthy. =D

Which brings me to my post, I altered these onesie's for Baby Frankie. I'm really happy with the way they came out considering this was my first sew project. I have to say though my mom helped me out a lot. Thanks MOM! I made 3 different ones using our Springtime Fabric I just love this fabric design and was sad to see the coordinating DSP go but at least we still have the fabric to play with, right. I also used our Fabric adhesive to keep my image in place and then sewed them to the onesie, I don't know that I had to do that, being that they were ironed on but I was a bit nervous that they would fall apart so that's the reason I decided to sew them too! Drop me a line and let me know what you think. Scroll down to see each onesie individually. Supplies: Butterfly Die and retired button from the latest SAB aka sale-a-bration catalog

Supplies: Hearts & Brackets Die and the Regals Buttons

Supplies: Fun Flowers Die & Regals Buttons

This one turned out a little different than I had invisioned but I think it turned out pretty cute nevertheless!

Guest Stamper: Jen W

Today's guest stamper is my down line and good friend Jen. She hand delivered me this card, it's a thank you from her baby shower. Her inspiration/case came from Mary Fish. Jen and I both love her work and find that we tend to pull great ideas from everything that she does or just plain case what she does. You can find Mary Fish's inspirational thank you card here. She made some minor changes either way this card is bright and cheery and turned out great. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day it looks like the weather will be nice today!

Love Life *** Live Life

Happy Saturday! I have to make my post quick today I have a fun filled day of Easter activities for my son Caleb toady. We are going to be making some Easter goodies as well as coloring Easter eggs {wish me luck} and we are taking Caleb out on a date to the movies to see HOP! I think I might be more excited about this than him! LOL =D I'd seen a lot of these altered cards around using the Simply Sent Medallion Kit and thought what a great idea to change it up a bit and make it a little more personal. So I gave it a try and this is what I came up with, I ended up using this card for my March swap. Hope you liked it ladies. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your Easter weekend.

Bev my Upline

Bev my up line made this for our imprints meeting swap. I loved this hanging top note it's so pretty. She also used my favorite die that I'm obsessed with the Fun Flowers Die if you don't have this die just let me say it's definitely a gotta have! The DSP she used is a sneak peek from the upcoming IB&C that will be released in July. It's very pretty I was kicking myself that I didn't get it, so guess what now it's on it's way to me. Yay! This paper can be earned FREE when hosting a $350+ workshop or if you spend $20 {before t&s} for this month only. I love the look of the silver glass glitter and as I type this I'm asking myself and why don't I have glass glitter? I want it now and gotta have it thanks Bev! I've gotta run thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

IMPRINTS Swap Winners

Happy Friday, Whoo Hoo! At our imprints meeting we always have a card contest. This time we had a few of the girls make 3-D projects which also made it fun and changed it up a bit. We had a tie this time and these were the 2 winners. They are both really cute and fun and so completely different. Definately great samples to have at workshops and classes. Thank you again Bev for another fun filled Imprints meeting. Keeping it short today I have a little one that is sick and is wanting to play trains. Patients on a 3 year old only lasts so long. Thank you for stopping by!
