Emmaline's Rocking Horse

This is another project that I did pre-baby for post-baby scheduling. :)

Here is a new picture of miss Emmaline! I have been on bed rest for over a week now (torture for a busy body like me!) and I cannot wait to do everything for myself again. I am a terrible patient! I also cannot wait to get into my craft room! But I love every minute with this little girl so much. I seriously just stare at her for half hours at a time. She was just in my belly!!!


She just got changed. Happy baby! She loves to be clean!


Her first Janie and Jack outfit! (I LOVE Janie and Jack!!!) The large bump on her head is a cephalhematoma. It should be gone in 2-12 weeks but you can see it in some of the pictures. Poor thing. It's seriously the size of a baseball but I keep trying to take pics from the other side! haha.

Sleepy smile!


The background 12x12 burlap frame is from Canvas Corp. I wanted to make something with it as soon as they sent it to me and I have been hoarding it for MONTHS in order to make this clean and simple wall hanging. I hope you like it!

Hmm.. This pic makes it look like the little thing underneath doesn't match the curve of the horse, but I fixed it after this photo was taken. The mini spools are from Jillibean Soup.

I'll have to show pictures of the baby room soon! :)

Happy Birthday and Circle Weekly Challenge

Make sure you checked to see if you were one of my winners from the 7 days of giveaways! :) 


Using the sketch below, I whipped this card out in a half an hour in order to send it to my grandmother and hope that it got there on time for her birthday! 




Recipe:






I made this using the weekly sketch challenge from the Circle Blog:




I realized that I don't share a lot of pics of my life on here, so here are some recent ones! :)


We went to the Scottish Festival and put my dad in the stocks. Then they poured water on his head! He was such a good sport. 


Spoon. Snuggling. So cute.

My Pink Designer Showcase! ... Friends are Always in Fashion

***Note: I am SOOO sorry, but I am getting super spammed with super bad stuff. So I have turned on word verification TEMPORARILY and will be taking it down in a week or two - hopefully weeding out the anonymous spammers. I hope you understand! I personally hate word verification, so it won't be up long!***

Good morning to you!

We were given these super fun stamps to work with for our My Pink Designer Showcase! 

You can see the whole set below and you can find them in the links below! 





Close up! :) The yellow is actually polka-dotted but you can hardly see it.

Make sure to go by the My Pink Stamper Blog to see what all the other girls have come up with! :)

Happy Birthday Malakai!

This is my post for Pumpkin Spice today!!!

I made this for our Godson's 2nd birthday!!! He is turning two on the 23rd our time, the 24th his time (he was born at 12:09 I think - or 12:06 in Ohio so I like to say his birthday is on the 23rd. :) It drives his parents - my best friend Kourt - crazy! :) 

WE WILL SO miss not being with him for his second birthday, but I know there will be many more chances to celebrate him as the years go on. Then again, every day is a day to celebrate a child. 

Here is a pic of him!  Oh come on - SO adorable!!!


Here is his birthday card!


Recipe:





I based of the sketch from My Mind's Eye HERE. There is still time to play along with them! :)

You're My Favorite - Circle Challenge!

Hey all! 

Welcome to new followers and friends! :) 

Today I made this card up super quickly to get into the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge which was "Sweet Summertime" and they wanted us to use a stamp too. 

I don't have a whole lot of stamps - seriously nearly all of them are My Pink Stamper so I just used a stamp for my sentiment. I felt bad about realizing that they probably meant a background stamp so I pulled apart the card (as I was writing this) and added a background stamp (which doesn't show up in the photo as well as it shows up in person) and re-shot it and here is the before and after! :) The background stamp is in the upper left and bottom right.

You can get EVERYTHING I used on this card apart from the solid cardstock, cartridges, and Cuttlebug folder from my AWESOME sponsor PUMPKIN SPICE! They have the best shipping rates and the best prices on product! They also have the best customer service! Check it out! I love enabling! :)

Honey Bee Showcase- Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

This week at Betty Bee's Buzz Amy Sheffer is our guest designer! She made a GORGEOUS balloon card! She also got to pick the theme for this week and she chose... Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. 

Amy Sheffer is a good friend of my friend June (also a HoneyBee) and I am thrilled that June set this up because Amy's card is just gorgeous and her talent is fabulous. 

I have to admit I was STOKED about this challenge. I laid everything out that I wanted to use and realized... there was no blue. haha! So I started again and I'm very happy at where the card evolved to. 

 Old: old script writing
New: the crinkled ribbon is brand new and I LOVE it!
Borrowed: a sketch from Artful Delight AND the idea of having the flowers overlap like that from Melinda Spinks HERE
Blue: background paper

It is based on this sketch here:

Recipe:




Play along this week to win a prize! :) There are SO many takes on this challenge and it's a really fun one. So have a blast and join us! :)

PKS Guest Designer - Woodland Themed Party - CupcakeToppers

Day 3 at the Peachy Keen Blog and this week is flying by! 

Today I have some fun cupcake toppers for your party! I wish I could take credit for these cupcakes, but they are courtesy of Whole Foods. Their red velvet cupcakes are AMAZing. Go right now, drive, get one, come back, and then read the post while eating pure yumminess. I bought these just to stage the shot... really... I did... and then I ate one the minute I finished taking this picture... all for the love of you all. :) 

Can't you just see the kids saying, "I want the bird." "I want the hedgehog." "I want the skunk!"? 

OUT FOR PUBLICATION! :) 



I used the Critter Faces - PK755 in large. For the bird eye, I simply masked the rest of the face to get the bright eye. I liked the way it looked. 


Recipe:



Don't forget to leave a comment to have a chance to win the PK794 stamps in medium! Today's giveaway will be something of my choosing from Pumpkin Spice - my sponsor and my favorite online store! I'm considering buying an i-rock (because I am on the Imaginisce DT), or an Echo Park Paper Pack (because I LOVE their paper), or a set of My Pink Stamper stamps. What do YOU think? Leave what you would like to win most in your post and I might just make that come true!
