Baby Shoes

The inspiration for Challenge #8 at Off the Wall Craftiness is showers, babies, weddings, rain, umbrella's, etc. using 2 shades of aqua and a lemon tart yellow.

This challenge was perfect for me because one of my co-worker's is expecting a baby any day, so guess which card she is receiving. Thanks for looking :)

Here's a "Simple" joys card made using both sides of Scenic Route Paper Co's paper and Hero Arts Big & Small poly clear flowers stamps. I added a few pearls and viola!!:

2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 52


Made this card with a new stamp for Kazan's sketch 52 over at 2 Sketches 4 You. My friend and I went to a stamp event this past week-end at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Colorado. Found a few new stamp companies (new to me that is). I purchased this stamp and a few others from Talkabout Stamps, a Colorado Springs company. Isn't this one fabulous stamp? I don't have a name for it as I just purchased the rubber piece and mounted it myself; it is my current favorite.

Items used: Talkabout stamps galloping horses stamp, Basic Grey Capella DP, jute twine, generic Happy father's day stamp.
