What I have been up to this evening......

another card, for another special occasion. I am anticipating that some people close to us will be able to bring home their new little one after a little detour. The baby was premature. Has been in the hospital for quiet awhile now, had one operation, and we hope that all is good now for this little guy to finally come home. This little one has done well, all things considered, and it is God who receives all the glory for that. So with hopefully his homecoming this next week, Lord willing, I NEEDED to make a very special card.
(The card uses a full 12x12, but folds up to make a nice 4x4 card.)
I have inked up the paisley background alot from Cornish Heritage Farms. I love the size of them, and the detail. One of the other stamps of mine that has seen a lot of ink these days is, "Make It Count" from Close to My Heart. I love this set. I love the fact that I can stamp the 'hands' to make the clock read whatever time I want. In my last post, I made the clock stamp (about) the time it was when I was washing dishes and snapping the picture, moments before heading out the door. I was at first a little worried about the "hands" being small, but I have quickly come to appreciate the flexibility and what it adds to the art. Thanks ever so much for stopping in again.

Sincerely,
Sonja

A fun reason to post.

Well, I've not posted in a little while, we all had the sickies!!! We were just completely drained. And we lost about 4 days of school. And can I say just how hard it is to get up and get going again. We had 4 days of school to get caught up on, and get the house all back together. Thankfully there wasn't much laundry as we had spent the sick days in our PJ's. Always something to be thankful for, right?
Visiting other paper fanatics and their blogs is a lot of fun. Which leads me to where I am going. Erin over at http://inkysmiles.blogspot.com/ is looking for some "masculine" cards. So this just makes it so easy for me to pick something to share. (like easy). One was done for my Husband, son, and the other, well it's a no brainer, it only says "DAD" on it!! LOL.
So thanks Erin, for a fun reason to post.

Sincerely,
Sonja

Another Baby Card

Another card I made using some scraps from a layout I did. �I'm really just trying to see if I am smart enough to figure out how to Watermark my pictures,LOL! �I AM NOT so computer savy. �But I am learning a lot. I even surprise myself from time to time,LOL!!!

New Baby Card

I made a little card for someone special. �The adoption went through, and they have a baby all their own now. Fresh from the Father's loving hands! �I can't claim the layout of this card as my own, but I did adapt it to make it work. �Most of the supplies are Close to my Heart. With the exception of the button and Chip Board. �Although the "BOY" is covered with CTMH'S awesome double sided textured Cardstock. �
