My brother just fixed everything in 10 minutes and transfered everything from my old blog to this new one!  Thanks Mike :)  I am trying to set up my new blog at wordpress (that was a gift from my brother and his family)and I am getting no where. I was hoping to have it done today and to have the link for you so you could start visiting me there. Since I have been unsuccessful for the last two+ hours I am giving up for now and posting some of my stuff here. Thanks for listening to my frustrations. Here are the two pregnancy cards that I uploaded over there but they will only upload in the full-size. The first one is for my cousin, they are having a girl! The second one is for a co-worker. Not knowing what they are having I went for a fun, gender neutral color scheme. Thanks for looking.

My brother to the rescue again!  He figured out how to reize the images fro me and took care of these so enjoy!  I am sorry that the pictures are so large.  I cannot figure out how to make them smaller.  I will keep trying and thank you for your patience.  Here’s the second pregnancy card.  I don’t know what they are having so I went for a fun gender neutral color scheme.

card for cousinHello All,

I think I am finally back into the routine of things.  I know I have not blogged in several weeks.  School has started back up and I have been busy with getting back into my classroom, attending staff trainings and getting the first week of school down…whoo hoo!!!  I have been creating during these three weeks, just haven’t been able to squeek in the time to share it all with you.  I am hoping to get everything posted today and get my new blog up and rolling as well.  You will see several different posts so that they can all go into their own categories.  First up are two cards that I made for expecting moms.  This first card is for my cousin who is having a baby girl!

If you have not been to Stampin Pretty, you need to visit her blog. I love visiting Mary’s blog(http://www.stampinpretty.com/). She has great tips and ideas and for those of you addicted to Stampin’Up…she’s a demonstrator. She shipped me the new catalog when it came out and I am still going over it making my wish list. Rambling, sorry…when I was on her site she had a link to a challenge hosted by her and her SU team (http://www.palspaperarts.com/). I checked it out and it is a sketch this week. I liked the clean and simple look of it and decided to play. Here is my take on the challenge. It worked out perfect for me because I knew I wanted to make a card for one of Mark’s friends at work. What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment, thanks for looking and have a marvelous Monday

I decided to add the circle of paper to hide the seam where my ribbon ends meet up. I paper pieced the elephants ear and then drew white dots on the toe nails with my white Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

Materials used:

she’s expecting stamp- Kolette Hall for studio g, stazon timber brown ink, imaginisce snag em’s- birth announcement (the elephant), buttons were in my stash, ribbon by Offray, pink cs and the lined paper were from my scrap box pp by the Paper Studio, 1 3/4″ and 1 1/4″ circle punches, cutterpede scallop blade and adhesive.
