Little One

Hello! I hope you are all doing well! 

I whipped up this card for two challenges: 

Cricut Circle Challenge: Color Challenge

Glue Arts: Make something for Mother's Day (this one is for a new mother!) and take a pic showing use of the projects. 

For some reason, the pictures didn't show that the black background was embossed, but you can see it on the backside of the picture below.

Recipe:

• Cricut Carts:
• Elegant Edges™
• Campin' Critters™
• Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: Sweet Baby™
• Stickles in Diamond™
• Glossy Accents™
• Twine: MME: Lime Twist™
• Glue Arts Mini Adhesive Squares in Perma Tac™
• Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro in Perma Tac™

Pumpkin Spice NSD Layout by Court

Hello and welcome to National Scrapbook Day with Shop Pumpkin Spice - challenge #2 - create a layout! 

This is always an interesting challenge for me, but getting into more "layouts" I was excited to expand my wings a little. I cased a layout which you can see below and I saw it on someone else's blog so I am still waiting to hear back who the original designer is. Hopefully it will be up here by NSD, but it might not. 

This was my first layout that I've made about our baby girl that is due in July! We've had three ultrasounds so these are pictures from each one. She has grown so much! I can only imagine how it will feel when she is on the "outside"! 

Check out the challenges HERE and participate for a chance to win $20 to the SPS store!!! And with prices that are always 30% below retail - that $20 goes a LOooooooooonnnnnnnnNG way. trust me. You should just start shopping now. :) With three challenges that means there are three GC's to be won! Participate in one challenge or all three! The last one will be posted at 2pm PST. Check back! :)

It's from last year, but I still love it! Make sure to pick up the matching solids because they come in SO handy when trying to match these colors! 

This will probably be for my husband.. Of course I am the green one since my favorite color is green and he is the orange one because sometimes I take a bite out of him. Mean wifey! ;) I'm so cheesy.
