Wplus9 Color Cue Challenge #5

Hello!

How are you this morning?

I have some droopy eyes, as my sweet baby decided to wake up at 4 am and 7 am. While he went back to bed comforted, I couldn't go back to sleep. There is a certain point in the morning when I know that if I hadn't fallen asleep yet, it's not gonna happen. One of the hardest things for me is to sleep in the daytime, so probably I'm looking at a long long day. But it's all right, I've been through these days before and came back to the other side, alive and well.

Besides, we're still smitten with our baby boy. Last night, after he went to bed, we laughed our heads off trying to imitate what he does. I had no idea how funny these things look when an adult does them!

I have some cards today for the latest Wplus9 Color Challenge. I'm slightly embarrassed by one thing: it took me quite a bit of time to realize that I CAN use white or a neutral color in a color challenge. It gives a card a lot of good balance.

Embellish Magazine Color Challenge {Baby Theme}

Hello everybody!!

I'm still here, stealing a little bit of time everyday to work on a card, but until now I haven't had so much time for blogging. But my little one is sleeping soundly (hopefully till the end of this post) and my husband is still at work, so this is the right moment!

It's been a while since I made a card for a baby, so I couldn't resist the latest Embellish Magazine Color Challenge {Baby Theme}. Here is what I came up with:

{Happy Anniversary} Card for The Play Date Cafe #33

I'm back sooner than I expected, because I really really wanted to make a card for a dear friend of mine, Mrs. Moore, that gave me the opportunity to sell my cards in her coffee shop. 

Today is her and her husband's anniversary and I am so happy for them. Their coffee shop is our second home, especially since I broke our french coffee maker. 

For this card I used to colors from The Play Date Cafe Challenge #33.

Papertrey Paper Dolls Color Challenge

Hi everyone!

I'm back again, glad that I have another card to share with you. I liked the concept I used for my previous card and because my sister-in-law is going to visit us for her birthday, I made one just like it, only with different (and more) colors (the Papertrey Paper Dolls Color Challenge).

Embellish Magazine Color Challenge {with Butterflies}

Hello again! 

All I can say is "Yay for schedules!". When I started a schedule with my baby boy, I dreaded having every minute of my day planned, but by now I'm beginning to like it, in a painful sort of way. Usually, because of it, I manage to work out, make a card and do some things around the house. 

For today I have a card for the newest Embellish Color Challenge {with Butterflies}. 

Recipe for {Spread Your Wings and Fly}

~ Cardstock: Papertreyink {Kraft, Vintage Cream};

~ Paper: Papertreyink {Dotty Biscotti};

~ Stamps: Papertreyink {Fancy Flourishes, Butterfly Wishes};

~ Ink: Stampabilities {Black}, Papertreyink {Spring Moss};

~ Button: Papertreyink {Spring Moss Vintage}. 

I'm so sad that the days for taking walks are over for (too) many months! This Saturday the temperatures will be close to 100 F. How are we gonna live without taking walks every day until maybe Halloween (seriously!)? My dream place to live is where the mornings are always cool and where I can see a mountain top from my bedroom window. Any suggestions?

Anyways, thanks for stopping by! 

Color Cue {4} Challenge

Hi everyone!

Today is Saturday and that means I get to have enough time to post a card. My two boys, my big baby and my little baby, are hanging out together. 

I made a card for Color Cue {4} Challenge. I know that the colors "screamed" a baby boy card, but I really wanted to use Dawn's Woodgrain Silhouettes. My resources for these particular colors are rather limited, so I used some clear embossing powder to create some shades of blue. So here is what I came up with:

Recipe for {For You} Card

~ Cardstock: Papertreyink {Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, Enchanted Evening};

~ Stamps: Wplus9 {Woodgrain Silhouettes};

~ Ink: Stampabilities' {Brown};

~ Clear Embossing Powder;

~ Gemstones: Paper Studio;

I'd love to stay longer but, as usual, it's feeding time. Again. I have become rather fond of our time spent together, nursing. We had a rocky start, but now I'm thinking that the day I'll stop nursing is going to be a sad sad day. 

Hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping by!
