Sweet Baby Girl

After a fabulous girls weekend with my stamping friends, I'm glad to report that I made 14 cards while I was there! Some are for magazine submissions, but many of them you'll get to see here on my blog very soon. Today I have a card to share with you that I made for a stamping friend who we threw a surprise baby shower for this past weekend. I'm really happy with how it turned out and think it's one of my favorites! 

 I used this adorable Teddy Bear image from Holly Berry House and colored it with Copic Markers. Since she knows that she is having a girl, I chose to color the bow pink. I love the adorable Ribbon and Curls New Baby sentiment (111G) from DRS Designs and thought that it was perfect with the Teddy bear image. The finished card size is 4.25" x 5.5". I hope you enjoy seeing this card as much as I enjoyed making it! 

 Have a great day!

Thinking Of You!

Happy Thursday! I'm so glad the weekend is almost here.  We've been so busy lately finishing up some odds and ends in the house and in our yard, that I'm really hoping to get some time to rest since the weather is supposed to be rainy all weekend long.  (To me that also means that I hope I get to stamp, stamp, stamp!)

I created this card for Kimmy, a friend of mine, who was unable to go to on the Shackapolooza stamping weekend with the rest of us.   We passed it around and everyone signed their "Miss You" wishes.  I wanted to make sure she knew we were thinking of her, and that she hadn't been forgotten.  Stamping just isn't the same without her. 

This adorable bear image is from Holly Berry House.  I colored it with Copic markers, using a new-to-me technique taught by my friend Chelsea from the Stamp Shack.  (Thanks again for the demo!) I antiqued the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing ink, and the sentiment is from SU! Whimsical Words.  On a card like this, I really think the embossing from the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder is so elegant looking, don't you think?

Hope you have a great day!

Smiles,

Jennifer
