Let him sleep...

When I saw this free (yes, I said free!), digital stamp on Dustin Pike's blog I immediately knew what I wanted to use it for. I've had a quote in mind for over a year now that I've wanted to use on some kind of picture for my son's room. I could never quite find the right format or images. When I saw this adorable bear, I knew it was perfect!!


I cut out the "cloud" image by hand and stickled along the edge. I also stickled the craters on the moon. I colored the bear and star with my Bic Write-It markers. I stamped Colson's name in white craft ink using my SU "Big Deal Alphabet" stamp set.

I am going to frame this and hang it in my son's room. I LOVE the quote. I think it is so perfect for Colson! He is an absolutely amazing kid! He is such a gift from God. Everytime I see this phrase I think about all that he is going to do in his life! I'm SO very thankful! :)

Babies, babies, and more babies!!

It seems like I am making baby cards every day!! I turn around and someone else is pregnant!! :)

I made this card for a friend's sister. She is having a little girl, which is a nice change for me. I haven't gotten to make any little girl...anything! All my friends and family have been having boys! I have a little boy too, so that keeps the pink stowed away!

Here is the card I made today:

Stamps: Stampabilities (baby feet), Stampin' Up (Sentiment)
Ink: Brilliance pigment ink
Background: Cuttlebug Distressed Stripe embossing folder
Embellishments: Brown ribbon from a gift I received at Christmas :)
Technique: Heat embellishment (I used clear embossing powder on the baby feet)

I am a big fan of brown. I love how it looks with pretty much any color. Especially pink, red, and blue. It looks great with most colors.

Well, I guess I am going to have to head back to the scrap room and crank out some more baby cards. I know I will need them sooner or later!
