Baptism card … white on white

My nephew's baptism was this weekend passed and I made this card. It was a total Pinterest CASE but I love how it turned out, it was well received by the family too which makes me happy. 

This was the Pinterest inspiration http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2164751?&si=cross

I'm loving white on white, may just have to do more of it!

Cheers Lorena!!

Sock monkey card

My nephew turned one. And my sister has always had a theme with him of sock monkeys. This is the card I created for his birthday.  

Personally I can't stand monkeys. They have always creeped me out. This card was very hard for me to do. Lol

Give me your thoughts.

Cherish the Moment

This is the first photo I have scrapbooked since I my mother passed away.  It was hard, but the paper line I was working with is all about grandmothers.  I didn't realize that when I picked it up.  I bought it because it was pretty, and my colours; pink and mint green and beige. 

I decided to use a photo of my daughter when she was only a few months old in my Mom's arms. It was such a rainy day, miserable actually, we were at RCMP Sunset Ceremony.  Vanessa was just learning to walk, and with learning to walk comes a lot of stumbling and falling.

 

I did a card with the left overs from this collection.  I stamped out a Penny Black stamp; called Tiger Lilly (which I coloured up to be a stargazer lily, my favorite) with my Copics.

Simple Stories - Handmade Holiday Christmas Cards class upcoming

The moment I saw the Simple Stories Handmade Holiday line I got excited about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas in general, and I love Christmas paper in general, and believe me I have hoards of it, I have 3 entire shelves devoted to Christmas lines of past.  This line spoke to me with the olive green and deep red with beige and music notes.  Love it!
