Jungle in the Mail

good morning!

Gorgeous day on tap here in New England. Warm, sunny, perfect.

going to spend it at a graduation party

in Long Island with

family and friends that i love.

it seems to be a month full of babies and birthdays,and this is a card i made for my brother-in-law

that got lost in the mail! (not my brother-in-law, the card..)

so i thought i would post it ,and eventually i will remake it

and hand deliver it.

I used this wonderful jungle paper that came on a tablet

of assorted papers that was given to me YEARS ago. cool huh?

the little jungle man is colored with gamasol and prisma pencils.

Have a great Day!

enjoy the sun, each other and your stamps!

good morning!

the fabulous ladies over at Splitcoast Stampers

offer challenges weekly to encourage, enhance and

challenge!

todays challenge is the Sketch Challenge SC237

SO because i am on vacation, and not cleaning like i really

should be (you know those lists we make for time off ~NAH~)

here's my take on the sketch.

i used the cuttle bug folder swiss dots and the Su set "Friendship Blooms"

Brown and blue(carribean) papers are from Stampin up,

the little brown rhinestone is from Studio 18.

FUN! FUN! FUN!

thanks for popping in !

in my effort to keep up with the baby "boom" among friends and family,

i have been busy making baby cards. thank God for labor, it

gives me time to get the cards done.

i recently went to walmart to purchase fabric softner,and

wandered over to the crafts aisle. there i found this cute

little monkey die for the CuttleKids, but worked

fine in my cuttlebug.

so one of the girls who is a new "mommy" has

a monkey theme for the nursery. i kept the card

simple ( the paper has a little sparkle)

and the monkey was the center.

simple, but to the point!

paper : Su apricot, DCWV nursery,baby boy, blue

Palette noir ink

cuttle bug monkey die

Su : Warm Words

My Favorite Things: Shower time

good morning ~

i am attempting my hand in the blog world.it seems to be the year of the "baby boy"

so my first post is of a card i made for one

of my daughters friends.

this layout style card is one i learned

on SCS and instructions can be found here:http://craftiblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/2009-04-23-quad-fold-card-sample-tutorial/

so many talented people out there to inspire and force you out of the box!

this blog is mainly for me to try my hand at different styles, techniques etc...

they say throughout your life to try new things ~ this is one for me.

i am VERY new to this, so please be patient! (thanks)
