HI!!! I am blogging! Yeah! We are going to a birthday party today for our friend's daughter, she is turning one! It's a big one. We got her this cool toy, which is for 12months+, however, my 5 month old is in love with it. It is still in the box and she can not get enough of it! Maybe she needs one for her 6 month birthday. That is another story!
The real reason why I am posting is not to share with you toys, but the card I made for little Michaela Jo!
I have a tone of Real Red and Pretty in Pink love notes that I ran across the other day so, I decided to use one for this occasion.
Isn't she cute! I also have a ton of these Real Red scallop circles left over from running the pennant die through my big shot to make Santa Ornaments, they are sitting on my desk so that I will use them up!
First, I stamped the cute Michaela and then punched her out with the 1-3/8" circle punch and when I mounted on the scallop, how I was wishing I had the 1-3/4" circle punch for the extra layer in the middle. I then mounted that on top of a one inch strip of our Candy Lane DSP, which is mounted on some Pink Piroquette.
The "Happy Birthday" image is from the stam Sayings Set. I colored second Happy Birthday on the stamp with my real red marker, so that it would round over the top of my scallop circle.
Then I added the chipboard "1" from the Lot of Letters collection. The little "st" was hand drawn with the Real Red marker, I do not love my hand writing on a card, but who does!
Lastly I added the ribbon, I really wanted a Pink Gingham piece, I am out and was searching my scraps, no luck. But I found a small strip of the grosgrain and tried tying it into a super small bow, I was having difficulties, so I grabbed my hemostat and used that to grab one of the "rabbit ears" and pulled it through. Perfect mini bow!
Well, Hannah baby is awake, I need to wrap the gift and feed the family, if I can get my husband to stop playing Wii!
Side note: The Wii was our gift to each other this Christmas along with the Wii Fit and Guitar Hero. I want you all to know the name of my band on Guitar Hero is "Kiwi Kiss". There are two reasons, first, my sister's nick name for me growing up was Kiwi. Second, is obvious, I am completely branded - STAMPIN' UP!
All right bloggers, I am off to do more mom things, it was great sharing with you all. Hope to do so sooner than later, thanks to all who harassed, I mean asked me about my blog! I am still here, just enjoying my girls and trying to stay sane with all the things we women do, as Moms, wives, homemakers, cooks, bookkeepers, etc, etc, etc.....
Happy Stampin'
