I made this in anticipation of an upcoming baby shower for our newest great-niece. Her name will be Cadence Ann. This will be the first-born of our beloved nephew (really, my hubby’s “mini-me”…scary, but true!).
Baroque swirl stamped on Pink Pirouette with White Craft, heat-embossed in clear. Non-SU 5/8″ satin ribbon (but perfect match for Chocolate Chip) pulled through white eyelets. Sentiment stamped on Whisper White, layered with Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip, mounted on dimensionals. Paper piercing around Chocolate Chip. Accented with pearls in upper-right corner.
It’s a little less-cutsey, and a little more formal for a baby shower card, but it was really important to me to make something special.
Thanks for visiting!
I think this set is really cute! So much potential!!
I like the Summer Sun with the Pacific Point…very bright and “chipper”! 
A fun card on such a bright, beautiful day! I’m off work today, since I have to go for a test later. I squeezed this card in, even though I have to leave the house in about 10 minutes.
Have a great day!
I just love Wonderful You…and I really like it using IN colors!
This card has a great fall-feel to it and showcases what I think is my personal style…SIMPLE. It’s not fussy or over-embellished, but instead highlights the beauty of the ink/stamps/cardstock.
This card uses Kiwi Kiss ink/CS, Tangerine Tango ink/CS, Chocolate Chip ink/CS, dimensionals, and antique gold brads. Easy-peasy – good for a workshop or for those times when you need a quick card!
Thanks for stopping by!

I set this up with every intention of sharing all sorts of wonderful things…yet I haven’t posted. So, today I’ll post!
Today, I’ve been busy working on a care package for my daughter Stephanie. It really shouldn’t have been much work, except when I was putting things together, one thing led to another. Before you know it, I’m creating “projects” for this care package. It’s the popcorn’s fault. I decided it couldn’t just get sent in a box. No…I had to make a box for it!
Exhibit A:
I know she’ll like it. I’m sure it will make her smile, as she remembers how over-the-top her mother is.
The box template is from Andrea Walford’s blog (http://andreawalford.com/). Using the scallop punch as “popcorn” was taken from a card I saw once at SCS, but I never saved the card into my favorites, so I’m not sure who to credit. It was not hard to make. Except I didn’t follow her directions on putting it together. My sticky strip stuck in the wrong spot when I was putting the sides together, and I had to practically rip the thing apart to get it together straight. Next time, I’ll do better reading directions!
