Happy Birthday, Jen

Yesterday was Jenny's birthday.  We had a nice celebration with her.  I remember the day we brought her home and she was just the perfect baby~~until she decided it would be nice to sleep all day and stay up all night!  Jen's card is in a favorite color, Coastal Cabana.  The images are from Clearly Besotted and the sentiment from Stampin' Up's Cottage Greetings. 

We have had some beautiful bird sightings this weekend.  The Orioles are back, saw the first hummingbird of the season and the best ever~~an Indigo Blue Bunting.  The photo is not that great but I was taking the picture thru my office window and the slats of the blinds.  The males are so beautiful!  Have a great day!

Cute Little Watermelon

I have been playing in my scrap room quite a bit lately.  Today's card is one of the cute cards I made using WPlus9's Sunshine Layers rainbow die.  The die did create a cute watermelon!  The sentiment is from Sunny Studio Stamps.  The one thing that is not showing up is that the Melon Mambo cardstock layer is scored every 1/2 inch to add texture.  I do think there are a couple too many seeds on the watermelon!  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Moon Baby

Today's card was created by my friend, Kathy Z.  The stamp set she used is Stampin' Up's Moon Baby set which is so cute and yet is being retired!
The colors of the A Little Foxy DSP stack are very pretty together but I would have never thought of using the pattern paper for a baby's card.  I was not thinking correctly!  The Labels and Tags framelits are not used very often by me.  After seeing the nice addition they have made on Kathy's card, I have to make a mental note to reach for the Labels and Tags framelits more.  Kathy still has to fill in the top of the umbrella, but even with the white umbrella the card is adorable.  Have a great day and keep dry!

Cute Pink Parrot

I was coloring some cute little images just to color.  When I was putting things away, I decided I wanted a colorful card.  This little parrot was colored with Spectrum Noir pink markers.  I used Pretty In Pink retired cardstock for the background layer and the "YOU".  Die cut palm fronds from SU's Blooming Botanical framelits create a fun pop of color.  Both the parrot and the sentiment are from Clearly Besotted's Some Birdie Loves You stamp set.  Bright and pretty colors always bring a smile to my face.  But then, maybe it is the parrot!  Have a great day and enjoy the beautiful weather!
