I used a sentiment from Great Impressions Stamps and some seam binding ribbon from My Craft Spot.

For my card with ABC I used a newer Tilda. I love this Tilda as she can be used for more than just a Christmas theme.

I used a Couture Creations embossing folder on some purple caardstock. The ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Crop Stop. I used some lovely bling from the Unique Scrapbook Store.

I also added some cheesecloth to add a little more to the card.

Well this happens to be my card for trying at the guest spot over at My Favorite Things. Every month they hold a challenge and you have to showcase your best skills. I love their a la mode stamps, which I am using here today. Not only do I love their stamps but their dies too. They have a ton and they come out with new stuff monthly. They have weekly challenges which are also fun.

I colored the image with my wonderful copics and embellished the card with com rhinestones and ribbon.

Of course right now I have tons and tons of photos of my daughter. I figured why not through together a layout. I used tons of things to create this layout.

Halloweenie and Y Chromosome

SORRY
this post is a little off!!!!!!!

Happy 1st of the month to everyone. I am making this a scheduled post as I have been spending my weekends at the hospital trying not to go in labor. So far they have stopped it twice. I am taking medication, but I don't think it is working. Although I was able to see him in great movement recently, and the steroids helped develop his lungs (doctors think he will be here before 39 weeks - I'm only 32) I was able to watch him breathe inside me.... creating life is so hard but rewarding. I am so ready to have him as I don't think I have ever faced so many hardships ever in my life.

But enough about me onto the challenges for today!

ABC Challenge

Y is for Y Chromosome

I decided to show one of my newest envelope minis that I made. The measurements I am not 100% about and don't remember as I don't have the box of envelopes that tell me the size.
