Special request; baby girl

So, I made yesterday's card, only to find out later that Josie also needed a baby girl card. Who am I to deny a friend? Plus, it gave me a chance to use this fun paper and stamp set that is CTMH's exclusive kit for National Papercrafting Month. Made for a super cute card I think!

It's my friend Becky's house-warming/ugly sweater party tonight. She's the one I made these invites for. Can't wait to wear this totally horrid sweater I found at a garage sale this summer complete with shoulder pads. Gotta love sweaters with shoulder pads and stitched on embellishments! Lol!

Materials: All CTMH. Felicity paper/stamp kit. Cocoa, sorbet, and barn red inks. Sentiment uses 3 different stamp sets (need to find this sentiment somewhere). Colonial white cs, sorbet ribbon.

Other: Coluzzle, foam tape.

Mojo Monday week 77 sketch challenge

Here's my take on the Mojo gals sketch for the week.....

I found this paper by Heidi Grace Designs at JoAnn's last week and it was just too cute to pass up! When I saw the Mojo Monday sketch for today, I was like..."Yeah! I can use my cute 'pea' paper and my new skittles!" I had just the idea to pull the sketch off. The Just Blooms works perfect, and did you notice....I snuck in a stamp from my Personal Challenge. The flower stamp is from the September Word Puzzle that is the set for this weeks Personal Challenge. Sweet leaf and blush coordinated perfectly.

Materials: All CTMH: Buttercup and sweet leaf cs, That's Amore L2 pp, September Word Puzzle ss, Connections ss, sweet leaf and blush inks, tulip marker, just blooms, window charms, sponge.

Other: Sweet Pea paper by Heidi Grace Designs, Robin's Nest skittles in "Easter".

We had a CRAZY snow storm today! It wasn't really that bad at my house, so when I left for my dentist appointment at 11 this morning I was unpleasantly surprised at what awaited just north of me. I thought taking the freeway would be the best bet since I only had to go one exit--road most traveled=less snow--HAH! Yeah right! No more than a mile up the freeway it came to a dead stop. Cars were in the ditch on the side of the freeway. It took almost 20 minutes to get off the exit! Nobody in the Pac NW knows how to drive in the snow!

This particular exit forks left over the freeway to another freeway, and off to the right to go under the second freeway but still over the original freeway (if that makes sense). The left ramp was blocked with multiple semi trucks pulled over to put chains on. That funneled everyone else to take the right side of the exit where there was a delivery truck blocking one of the left turn lanes. More cars stuck trying to get up the small hill to my dentist made for one crazy and stressful trip for just a simple cleaning. I took pictures on my phone while I was stuck. I'll try and share later. Most of the snow has melted now, but so much for "springing" ahead!

Baby shower card

I love using the "Nursery Bash" SS! Can't wait to make one with the July SOTM that coordinates perfectly. Just got one yesterday. So this card is for my friend Melissa who is due early Sept. A little girl named Ella Mae. It'll be fun to make some girly stuff with Mel wanting me to make her baby scrapbook.

Materials: Colonial White CS, Paper Garden L2 paper pack, "Nursery Bash" SS, "Doodle Alpha" SS, Petal ink, Honey ink, Hollyhock marker, water pen, petal organdy ribbon, corner rounder, 1/4" hole punch, sanding kit--all CTMH
