Cuddles and Tickles

This has been the most extraordinary and exciting day/week/month of my life! I can't fill you all in just yet about all the latest "happenings" but I will update you on the new house 'news'..I have spent more money this last week on lawyers fees, down payment, hook up fees and property taxes then I ever have in a 7 day period!! No one said it was easy getting in to your first home but let me tell you that to this day I still believe it will all be worth it! Two weeks today and I get the keys to my house..I can't wait to show you my new castle ;)

Other than that I have been fighting a cold (seems like everyone is these days) and getting photos printed for my scrapbooks that I plan on working on this upcoming weekend!! Is there really anything better than planning an entire weekend to scrapbook/create?!?!

Speaking of creating, I have yet another vintagey baby card that I'm in love with to show you..

I used more DP from Melissa Frances as well as a sentiment from PTI's Inside & Out: Baby set. Vintage baby buggy as seen in this post is from Paper Source

I stamped the sentiment onto Vintage Cream CS from PTI with Dark Chocolate ink and then inked the edges up with PTI's Vintage Touch Tea Dye Duo. Then I used my oval and scalloped oval nesties and used a pop dot in behind for a little more "oomph" ;)

To finish off the card I tied PTI's Vintage Cream silk ribbon around the base then finished it off with PTI Twine, a Vintage Button and a Melissa Frances glittered chipboard heart...ahhh, I can smell that new baby smell already ;)

That's all for tonight my friends..its been an amazing day for me today and now I'm off to rest this very sleepy head!!

Happy Crafting!

Tiny Yawns & Sleepy Sighs..

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! We had some beautiful weather up here, it definitely feels like Spring now. I love that as my alarm goes off at 6 in the morning, its light out and I can hear the birds chirping..the street sweepers are out collecting the gravel they laid down on the icy roads and our tulips and daffodils have broke ground already!! YAY!!! Finally!!

With Spring comes another season I like to refer to as "Baby season" ..expectant mothers can be seen everywhere and a few friends and relatives are included!! With that being said, I decided to take out some of my sweet Melissa Frances papers and make a few new baby cards that melt my heart...

This image is from a stamp I picked up at Paper Source while visiting Seattle this past Fall..its detail is amazing and I love the vintage feel it gives the card!! The sentiment is from Amuse...

I used PTI's Tea Duo Ink cubes to give the card an aged look and stamped both the image and sentiment in PTI's Dark Chocolate ink

To finish off the card I used Melissa Frances' Glittered Chipboard Hearts, PTI's Spring Rain Vintage Buttons and PTI's ribbon in Vintage Cream...now I just need a new baby boy!!

Have a great day everyone!! Happy Crafting!
