New Design

Well - what do you think? I spent a little time today playing around with designing a new look for my blog. I wanted a fresh, clean look that highlighted some of the products in Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio Software. I ended up keeping it very simple and really only using the elements from the Write Stuff II. No additional accessories or anything. Just a new blog header and a few new buttons. I really like it!

WOW!

First of all, thank you so much for all of your kind comments on my baby shower post.

When I saw this next project on the Stampin' Up! website, I knew I had to share it with y'all. I know that so many people are so talented with fabric, but aren't always that comfortable with paper. This project just looks like too much fun.

Here is a list of supplies and instructions:

Stamps None Paper None Ink None Accessories Corduroy button Sizzix Big Shot Scallop Circle #2 Bigz die Fabric Needle and thread Ponytail elastic

Instructions

1.  Die cut 10 large scallop circles using Big Shot and Scallop Circles #2 Bigz die. Cut off eight of the scallops from each scallop circle. Gather together across the flat side about 1/4" from edge, gathering all ten circles on the same double-thread. Tie off.
2. Die cut 10 small scallop circles using Big Shot and Scallop Circles #2 Bigz die. Gather the circles across three of the scallops on the same double-thread. Tie off.
3. To cover Corduroy button, die cut a small scallop circle, then cut off all scallops. Gather the fabric around the edge, place button in the middle, then gather up threads and tie off.
4. Attach ponytail elastic to back, then sew through all layers of fabric (including fabric around button), so fabric layers are connected to elastic.

A special Valentine's Day message

 Of course I had the grandest intentions of cranking out dozens of adorable Valentine's Day projects, and the most special cards for my amazing boys in this house....but let's face it.......it did not happen.

 8 months pregnant, recovering from pneumonia...I had to cancel my Valentine's Stamp Camp (my favorite of the year). Then there was my baby shower and Thank You cards to write out, throwing my Sister in Law's baby shower last Saturday, tought a simple Valentine Card class to the ladies at church on Thursday, then yesterday I threw my Son's 4th birthday party (which was awesome!) So....needless to say I do not have adorable projects and cards to wow you with. I wish I could say that I had cards to give to the people that mean the most to me today.

 I hope that they will understand that the reason I don't have gorgeous cards that I spent time on for them was because I was spending that time ON THEM. I know my husband would let me sneak away in here to create some today - but today is my baby's 4th birthday and I want to spend it with him (yeah - there's no birthday card yet either). With a new little guy cominig in just a few weeks, I want to make sure that my 4 year old knows exactly how special he is to me. So with that - I am going to go crawl back in to bed with him and love every minute of watching Playhouse Disney with him.

 Happy Valentine's Day....I hope yours is as special as mine will be.

forgot to mention that my Mom baked and decorated all of the cupcakes.

Check out what I can do when I'm sick!!!

Last night I threw (with some help) a shower for my awesome Sister in Law. After being sick with pneumonia the last few weeks - I don't think I did that bad of a job. Wondering what I could have pulled off feling well. I want to thank my amazing - non paper crafting Mom for helping put all of the little monograms together for the picks, favors and cups....I know it was mundane and tedious....but I would have struggled so much without her
