I'm having a....

BOY! For those of you keeping track of my pregnancy, thanks for the support. I had an ultrasound today and everything is looking good. We found out it's another boy!

My Mother's Day Card

I have been needing some inspiration to get started on my mother's day card for my mom. I finally found it! It is national scrapbooking day tomorrow and over at Crop Diva's Destination, they are celebrating starting today. Their first challenge was to use a color combination (see below). Then I saw this sketch below on Mojo Monday and it fit perfectly!

I found this cute little photo of an elephant and her mama on google, made it black and white and cut it out. Then used a sentiment that I stole from a card at walmart (hehe, no creativity). The inside says: "How else could I have turned out so great?" I know it is a funny card and sometimes you need sentimental, but this time I decided my mom needed a little pick me up, so I made it funny. She's been dealing with sick loved ones for a while now and it gets her down in the dumps, so hopefully this will brighten up her mother's day.

Hello folks! It's Thursday, so that means it's time for a LSS project! And good news, Lindsay has consolidated her design teams into one talented team! So don't forget to check out the work done by the rest of my new teammates! I created this card for my aunt who has breast cancer. She has been courageously fighting it for more than 2 years now. I loved Lindsay's "Save the Ta-Ta's" stamp, but I changed the wording to say "Hope, Courage, Believe, Survive". I think it is more appropriate for the card I'm sending her.
I found this beautiful word art through Google that I thought would go great on the inside of the card.
This card qualifies for the following challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar -- 3D Something
DU2DS- Flowers on patterned paper

Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog!

Sorry, no free svg this week. I have been so busy I haven't had time to create one!

A Baby Lamb Card

 Here is a cute little baby card for a boy or girl. I made these for that local gift shop to sell. I made 5 that are identical to this one. I used the die cut from My Scrap Chick. I also did this as a part of the Papertake Weekly Challenge to do something different. I don't often use die cuts in my cards. I usually do digi stamps. But I love how this one turned out!

Bookmarks for Kids at School

Here are just 3 of the 20 bookmarks that I created for my SIL. She's finishing her student teaching and wanted to give the kids in her class a little something. So I made these for her. The cute little worm is a clipart freebie from Phillip Martin. If you haven't heard of him, you should check out his site. He has tons of awesome free clipart!
