Elegant sympathy

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card with you.  My co-worker lost her baby and I wanted something beautiful yet childlike for her.

On the front of the card I used a verse that's not meant to be for a sympathy card but by eliminating the final line I felt it was appropriate for her.  She's religious and I think these words will mean something to her.

The stamp is called The Blessings Of Peace and it's a Christmas sentiment. (minus the last line)

I wanted to reflect her baby boy on the inside of the card so I chose this sweet image...

He's been discontinued but his name is After the Game Bear.

Handy Andy, Humorous Senior...reporting for duty!

Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a nice 4th of July! 

Since the last card I made was more of a pretty one I felt like busting out something funny this week.  This Humorous Senior is called Handy Andy.

I Brake For Stamps is LOADED with funny images and verses.  Lots of masculine ones too which can be harder to find.

I used a cute ruler embossing folder and some "fix it" themed paper.  I also had these cool screw eyelets that were just perfect for this.  The mattes were done with Spellbinders dies.

This image has a funny verse with it that says Say No To Crack!  Unfortunately, that one's still on my wish list so for now the inside is blank.

I Brake For...adorable baby bears!

Hi everyone! 

This Saturday I'm sharing with you the

most adorable stamp and verses from

I Brake For Stamps!

My sweet little bear is called 

After the game bear.   The cute

little circle stamp is from a set called

Special, Bundle, Baby Boy, Baby Girl.

and the inside verse is called

Congratulations Son.

I was recently wiped out of my stash of baby

cards by a rash of babies at work and friends 

requesting baby cards.  I think this is a wonderful

addition that I can't wait to use in the future!

Tools & accessories:

Martha Stewart border punch and corner punch

Spellbinders label dies

EK Success border punch

My Art Impressions debut! N.Y. Mets baby shower card

Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever Art Impressions design team post!

I am so excited to be on this team.  

For my first card I have something that was custom made for a good friend of mine.

She is friends with one of the N.Y. Mets and his wife.  They are expecting their first child

and it's a boy!  My friend asked for a baseball themed card in their team colors.  Not the 

easiest task in the world since their colors are Orange and Royal Blue but I think it

turned out nice. 

I've used Little Athlete on my card.  I did trim off the football and soccer ball

because the dad is a baseball player and that's what my friend wanted the focus on.

Here's the inside.

The little ball, bat and stars are plastic buttons.

The stars, octagon and scalloped octagon are Spellbinders dies.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the stars

and Stampin' Up punch for the sentiment.

Baby is colored with Copic markers.
