Smeared Ink Reunion Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be a part of this blog hop, getting back together with old friends just like when I was pregnant the first time :) this is such an amazing group of artists and I'm not just saying that I really do love them, I have been inspired by them and they have been there for me for all my hard times! I got some amazing gifts for my first baby, some from across the pond (my kids have an aunt that is a dragon...you should be jealous) even just the hand made cards were enough to make me feel special and loved, and then not to mention these girls being there for me when my mother inlaw and best friend died, just wow I love these guys! but you probably aren't here to hear me reminisce about the good old days...so lets get on with the hop.

So like I said I'm pregnant again (32 weeks today) so I made some baby stuff...again :) 

So I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets Grumpies and lil grumpies and then me and my kid's favorite stamp Stumpy (I have a key-chain with this lil guy on it...my kids call it an owl) and I have made this little outfit for my new addition and then I made some shoes to match (the onsie/vest I purchased, the slippers/shoes I made) 

I just stamped him on there with some stayzon ink...I made some clothes the same way for my now 5yr old and they still look good so I know it works :)

I also was playing around and stamped on a bib with the candy is dandy set...can't read it very well but it says sweet nightmare...lol this I stamped with acrylic paint.

here are past things I made for my other babies (they are now 5 and 3!!!)

thanks for stopping by...have fun on the rest of the hop!

Baby hat

today I have a lil project to share with you for day 13 of the 31 days of Halloween...

all of this is homemade...I stamped my cat (don't remember where he came from) then put black stickles on him and liquid glassed him to a bottle cap I got from the bottlecapco then I made the flower on a small circle loom, and I made the baby hat on a bigger circle loom (both from Provo Craft). I sure hope this lil hat fits my baby's head...I have been told that DH had a big head...so we'll see :) I have made allot of these flowers and put them on hair clips so I can switch them out... but I haven't made centers for them all...yet...I'll share when I do :)

have fun hopping along the wicked blog trail....isn't this great? such fab artists!!

Crinkly baby toy

We are officially one week into the 31 days of Halloween!!! YAY its the weekend, It was such a long week...I'm so excited for today...I have another baby shower! so in light of that I made my little one a toy...I found the idea on this blog, and decided to make one for my lil Halloween monster :)

I used CTMH (close to my heart) stamps and some orange and black material I had laying around, and some ribbons...I wanted to get the different textures for her, the rick-rack is kinda felt, and the bats are slick, and the black is grosgrain, I cut up a chip back and put it inside and sewed it up...the back is just black fabric...not sure what kind its kinda slick...and as you can see in the right light...kinda transparent...I stamped my images with black stazon ink...and I'm going to get some C clips (I think is what they are called) so I can hook this onto her car seat....this was so fun to make and so easy, I'm going to do more for my baby and have some on hand for other showers...

thanks for taking a look...have a fab weekend and don't forget to visit the rest of the blogs on the list ----->

Smeared Ink bibs

I had so much fun with the April Guest DT Challenge! I'm so happy with what the theme was...
this is over at the Smeared and Smudged forum if your lost....

here is a direct copy of what Helen said "April heralds Spring. The start of the cycle where life blossoms. We all know of at least one lady in our lives that is pregnant. A new life started. My challenge to you all is to think "New Life" and to make a "something" for either that Mum in Waiting or the New Life she is nurturing"

How sweet is that...and how perfect for me :)
so off to W-mart I went and bought a 6pack of bibs and here are 2 of them (the others are drying or waiting further inspiration)for my Red bib I used The Fool from the Morbidly Adorable Tarot Set...I stamped it with black Stayzon Ink and added stickles to the eyes and the border....


the Yellow one are the oh so cute lil grumpies with the saying "I do what I want" (I fear my child will be like me and my DH....stubborn!)


and that's all I have for you for now...I will totally share the others as they are completed...so keep an eye out...in the mean time go check out the other inspiration in the forum and hurry and enter a challenge or two...there is still time:)
