Bella Baby Shower Card

Bella stamps are so cute! This one is called Teddybella and I got her in a Bella image swap on SCS. A friend of ours is having a baby in a couple months, so I whipped this up for her shower this past weekend. They are waiting to find out what they are having, so I tried to keep the colors neutral. I really like that dot paper from American Crafts - fun!
Well, that is all for now. But tonight I will post the Papertrey Blog Hop card I made - I am really excited about how it turned out! See ya later!

Mojo 74 Sketch

It's been awhile since I tackled a Mojo Monday sketch. But I went for this one. I used some Bella Rose paper from SU!, which is soooo pretty. I wish I had more of it! :-)
Once, I got done with the sketch, I wasn't too sure about the off center strip - I am so much better with formal balance and symmetry! So, I decided to make a 4-1/4" square card that based based off the sketch with more of that lovely paper. The little on is on its way to SCS Birthday girl!

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI White
Stamps: SU! Upsy Daisy

My Fav V-Day Card

So, this afternoon I was going through all my blogs with Google Reader and as I scrolled down this post on Nicole's PTI blog I saw my card! I don't think I posted it here, but its the first one I made with the Heart Prints set and got me started on the Ocean Tides/White/Raspberry Fizz/Lavender Moon kick that I was on. (I promise this is the last V-day card I will post for awhile! haha)

Check out my new watermark that I got from Beth. She whipped this up in less than 24 hours!
