MORE Great News

I have some more great news to share! This time it is a little more personal, yet still exciting. So here is goes....I am PREGNANT! This will be our third child and I am so excited. I have been wanting another child for about two years, and was just waiting for my husband to get in line with me.
This baby will be due sometime in the spring, but since I tend to wait awhile to go to the doctor, I haven't figured out the actual due date.

So far, so good with the pregnancy. I don't tend to get sick with mine, in fact, talking to others about theirs, it seems as if mine are a breeze.

Card for Last Weeks Sketch

I just realized that I never posted my card for last weeks sketch, so here it is now, only a week late. It uses "Tip Toe," "Basic Backgrounds" and "Background Squiggles" by TAC. I also used their wonderful chalk inks. I love the soft feel they give.

Sketch Challenge 9-18

Here is this weeks sketch challenge and a card that I made to go with it. I used TACs set "Everything Nice" and watercolor crayons on this card. The color scheme was taken from the ribbon.

TAC contest WINNER!

I did it!!! I FINALLY won, not one, but two TAC contests!!! Check out the cards on The Angel Company's website http://www.theangelcompany.net/contestwinners.html To see mine click on the duck and the lighthouse ones. Winning one of these contests was one of my top goals for the year, and I can't even start to tell you how excited I am! Now off to pick out the stamp sets I want with the "prize money"

Black and Blue All Over

This is a card I made for the color challenge on ASB this week. The challenge was to make a black and blue card. I used a scallop punch for the circle, and a corner rounder for the straight scallops. The sets I used were TAC's Dog GWP and Basic Backgrounds.

I also used my Big Shot with a Sizzix die for the bookplate, and attached it with eyelets using my Crop-a-Dile (LOVE that tool!).

Hiking Bears

Here are two cards I made for fun. I am playing some more with mineral spirits and colored pencil. I still need to work on this tech some more, but at least I can have some fun while learning. This stamp set is from The Angel Company and is called "The Great Outdoors"

Sketch Challenge 9-12

Here is a new sketch challenge. Have fun with it
