This is the companion to my Nursery Suite set for a Baby Boy that you can see here. I had a request for a Baby Girl Altered Composition Book and this is what I put together.
I love playing with papers and colors and making these books allows you to do both. This is made with the Nursery Suite DSP that includes this Regal Rose Circle Doily and a Baja Breeze Square Doily.
If you are a scrapbooker, this paper pack would be a perfect addition to your pages. It is currently on the Last Chance list and will be gone once it's out of stock. Email me or check out my website to order this item. It works perfectly with feminine or masculine projects. Hope you like it!

This is a gift set I made for a friend of mine. She wanted an altered Comp Book for a Baby Boy, so I decided to make a matching Baby card. They'll be perfect together!
The Nursery Suite DSP has a couple of 'Doily' type sheets: (2) are square and (2) are round. I thought it would be cute to add the square one to the cover. The sheet is too big to carry the whole way around the edge, but trimmed down, it works.
This diamond print is my favorite in the pack. It would have been pretty in pinks or purples, but unfortunately, they only did blue/green. I paired it up with Baja Breeze and Marina Mist cardstock on the Comp Book and Bashful Blue and Marina Mist on the card. I think Marina Mist may be growing on me ;)
I have a workshop this week with all the fun new Oh Sew Suite goodies, so I'm off to clean up my train wreck of a craft room. Thanks for stopping by!

Two sketches in one week...I'm on a roll! When I saw the SFYTT Sketch that Jen Del Muro is hosting, I had visions of a card that Julie M Lacey had done here. I loved the colors and the DSP that she had used. For my card, I used Melon Mambo cardstock and the Night & Day DSP. These colors work so well together. The Melon Mambo adds a perfect splash of color to this Black & White color scheme.
A friend of mine asked me to create a dozen birthday cards for her Book Club...this will definitely be added to the mix. Hope the recipient loves it! Thanks for stopping by!

I had a workshop this week and the theme was "Hey Sweet Pea!" If you can't tell, I LOVE the new Sweet Pea products offered in the occasions Mini.
I couldn't wait to share the new felt pieces with my Stampin' Gals. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough pieces for each of my girls to make both flowers, but they got to decide which card to make: this one or the Rose Red card in the prior post. I love them both...so, I'm glad I didn't need to make that decision ;)
This card was inspired by yet another Julie...do we have good taste or what??? Here is her card. I loved how she created the flower with the Little Leaves Die. I just incorporated it into the same card design as in my last post. The DSP on this card is from the Sending Love pack. Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip...need I say more...it's a classic color combo!
The Sending Love DSP is in the Occasions Mini and the sentiment is from Whimsical Words in the Sale-A-Bration Mini. It can be earned for FREE with a $50 order till March 31st.
Hope you like it & Thanks for stopping by!

Ahhh...it's a 3-Day Weekend! I have been looking forward to this all week. I just started teaching 8th Grade Algebra, so in addition to brushing up on my math every night, I had a PTO Meeting & a Workshop this week. I am ready for some much needed rest ;)
My first card up today was inspired by another Julie's card here. I saw her card and new I had to CASE it, as I had just gotten my Top Note Die and was ready to break it in ;) I pulled out my new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt pieces and a sheet of the Sweet Pea DSP and put them all together. I LOVE how it turned out!
The sentiment is from the Whimsical Words stamp set which can be earned for FREE during Sale-A-Bration when you place a $50 order through March 31st. The Sweet Pea products are in the Occasions Mini and are truly a must have.

Well, it seems like forever since I last posted! I had my AZ Teacher Certification Test on Saturday and I have been studying like mad. Of course, nothing I studied was on the test, but I think I'm smarter than a 5th Grader now...hee hee! Glad that's over and hope I pass...don't want to go through that again ;) I can finally move on to some more important things...like cards ;)
For this card, I used the new Sending Love DSP from the Occasions Mini. I wasn't going to get this pack b/c it just didn't grab my eye in the catalog. But, I wanted some new paper to play with and bought it. Boy am I glad I did...I love it! The colors are some of my favorites and each sheet has some type of glitter on it. Who doesn't like a little bling? This is one of the sheets from the pack. One side is the Chocolate Chip w/Flowers and the other side is the Pretty in Pink/Real Red Flowers. The Pink/Red sheet is the glittery sheet. Each flower's tips are edged in glitter. It's sooo pretty!
I orginally made this card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch last week, but didn't get it done to submit. This particular sketch called for a circle element, so I added the accordian flower.
I love how it turned out....hope you do too. Thanks for stopping by!
