A newborn is coming...

One of my co-workers is having a baby so I made this little scrapbook for her...

Here is the front cover.  The album is 4"x6" on chipboard.  I put various papers on it and then put distress ink on the edges

This is a 3x3 meandering scrapbook.  To get details on how to make one, go to Mary's tutorial here on Cardztv

Amuse-bouche:
I am getting free Showtime.... If you get Showtime, check out Web Therapy with Lisa Kudrow.  Love it.  Remind me of Frasier but in a tech-y way.

Another one from Kate's ABC's...

Here's another one from Kate's.  I am still puzzled why I like this cartridge so much. It's so feminine and little girl-ish  (says the woman wearing the men's flannel as she sits and types.)  Any whoooo--- I used a bit of bling, a Martha Stewart Butterfly punch on white glitter paper, some Recollection roses, my Tim Holtz Distressing tool, and my white gel pen.  I also put some Martha Stewart pink flocking material on the lapel and cuffs. (I poo-pooed the idea of getting MS flocking material but it is better than the other cheaper stuff.  Michael's had a bunch of MS flocking material on sale so I bought it then.  I don't know if I will go back to the other stuff).

 

Amuse-bouche:  Thank you to all of you who have enjoyed watching Stimpy eat and drink.  I will be loading more videos in the future to including the chinchillas.  To watch a tortoise eat is very peaceful.  He loves romaine lettuce and frozen green beans and peas.  

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Sweetly Tart.... and a thirsty Tortoise

I love this little card made with Kate's ABC's.  I should have entered THIS one for Mary's challenge

I used a sponge and various colors of Holtz' Distress ink to ink the edges (one of Mary's favorite techniques).   

Amuse-bouche: For those who have never seen a desert tortoise drink water... here's a video of Stimpy, after he woke up from hibernation.  When they first wake up after a long winter's sleep, they are hungry and thirsty.  So, I typically put Stimpy in a big pan of water and let him drink.  Here is a minute or so of him drinking.

You can see him swallowing.

KATE'S ABC... CARTRIDGE

I finally got the Kate's ABC Cartridge. It was on sale at Joann's for $29.99. Here is my first card from it. I'm not sure why I love this cartridge so much.  I just think it's so spring-like.   The sentiment came from a small sentiment clear stamp set at Michaels.  The white satin ribbon is from Michael's.  

The frame is from Stretch Your Imagination.
