BABY wants chocolate

These were the favors that I made for the shower. Jen wanted candy bars so that is what she got, big mistake though because I ended eating some of the chocolate bars as I was putting them together. =D Oh well at least I didn't eat them all right? We kept with the same DSP, we definitely got some use out of this fun Ice Cream Parlor DSP. These favors were quick and fun to make. Drop me a line and let me know what you think. I gotta run for now I have lots of little projects in the works right now that I need to finish up. Thanks for stopping by and if your wanting to see more baby shower goodies stop by tomorrow!

BABY Banner

Happy Monday All, boy it sure seems like this weekend flew by and way too fast. I had a very busy weekend with friends and family. I love those kinds of weekends just spending time with my family. Here is the Banner I made for my good friend Jen's baby shower. I had a lot of fun making it and was pretty happy with the way it came out. What do you think? If you haven't seen my earlier post then you are probably wondering what is that suppose to be on the outsides. Jen loves sugar, baked goods, candy you name it if it's sweet she's gotta have it, so her baby shower was a confections theme so that is my punch art version of wrapped candy! Everything really did turn out cute.

Supplies:

Paper: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Ice Cream Parlor DSP { SAB; retired}

Accessories: Pennant Die, 1 3/4 Extra Large Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Serif Essentials Alphabet Die, 1 1/4" Daffodil Delight Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/8 " Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon, Jumbo Brads, Silver Brads and 5/16" Neutrals Brads

Something SWEET is on the Way!

This will have to be a quick post today. I have lots to do it's my really good friend and down line Jennifer's baby shower and I'm helping co host it. This was the invitation that was made for the shower, now I wish that I could take credit for it but I can't the only credit I can take is that I had the pleasure of putting together 25 of them. Jenn designed her invitation and I made them for her I couldn't have her making her own shower invites. Aren't they cute? Can you guess the theme? Yes it is going to be a sweet tooth shower Jen loves her sugar. Gotta run but stay tuned for more baby shower fun.

JUST FOR YOU

Happy Monday, I hope that you all had a great weekend. We had a pretty busy weekend over here at the Toll House, from play dates, to build a bear birthday parties to my clear notebook class on Sunday, our weekend just flew on by. My mom emailed me last week and asked me to whip up a quick just because card for her also followed by and can I pick up after work. Uh OK that doesn't give me much time. At the time I was watching my 2 year old as most us know that is a full time job {which I absolutely love, I'm not complaining} and working on baby shower invites. So because I love my mom I dropped everything for her and tried to whip up a quick card..... um it took a bit longer than I planned. So for those of you that have been pregnant you will totally understand. So to give you an idea my stamp room is upstairs but Caleb was playing downstairs with his trains so I went upstairs to grab what needed for my quick card, I came downstairs and started to work on my card when I realized not once but at least 5 times that I forgot something and had to go back upstairs to get what I needed. BOY was that a workout! But can you say Preggo brain? At least that's what I call it. I think I took most of my time making tracks up and down the stairs than creating. LOL =D So back to my card, I took Mary Fish's layout idea and changed it around a bit but my inspiration came from her. I love that lady she does such awesome work and is very inspiring. Gotta run lots to do, I hope that you have a Happy Monday!

Happy Birthday SAMMIE!

Happy Birthday Sammie, my niece Sammie turned 3 on Thursday but today is her birthday party. The theme is build a bear so I decided to make her birthday card based on her theme. I apologize for the picture quality it not very crisp for some reason. Hmm, it's probably operator error. =D I had a bit of a struggle this time around with my water coloring, so I think I'm going to have to work on that a bit more. I have to run though I'm off to get ready to go build a bear this should be a lot of fun for all of the kids and us BIG kids too!

Supplies:

Paper: Pawsitively Prints II, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Water Color Paper, Very Vanilla

Stamp Set: Beary Best Friends, Beary Nice Wishes

Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade

Here is my gift all wrapped and ready to go! Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for some guest stampers tomorrow! Have a great Saturday!

Congratulations!

I received this card a few weeks ago from my cousin Niki who is also a SU! Demo. Isn't it adorable?! I like that she tried keeping it gender neutral being that it's still too early to know yet what my bun in the oven's gender is. We aren't able to find out until the end of April, right now that just seems so far away. I'm not always a patient person when it comes to surprises. =D Thank you Niki for this wonderful card and Toll family for the sweet words.
