NSD My Pink Stamper Ch #3

I had to run to Home Depot to meet my mom and grandma so they could use our dump truck to get some bricks so I'm running a little behind on the challenges. I skipped #2 for right now (it's to use kraft paper) and went onto #3 which was a Breast Cancer theme. I'd never actually used my Pink Journey cart that I got with my pink Expression so this was a great opportunity to play with it. :) Head on over to My Pink Stamper to see what everyone else created and what the other challenges are!

NSD My Pink Stamper Ch #1

Welcome to National Scrapbook Day!!!!! My Pink Stamper has challenges set up every hour all day today! The first challenge this morning was to use a cupcake. It could be on a card, layout, 3D, etc. I'm going to keep these posts pretty simple since there will be multiple posts today.

Clearing the Clutter Challenge #9

Welcome to another month of Clearing the Clutter! For those of you who are new, go check out this post to get caught up to speed. In a nut shell, it's my personal mission, once a month, to clear/finish something that's been sitting on my desk for too long. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and cleans up my desk as well. :)

For today's post, I was clearing out a shelf on my desk and found all of these cuts that I'd been accumulating. They were either the wrong size for the project I was working on, I made extras, or I just decided not to use it. So I decided to make some cards out of them and use up some of my scraps as well. A two-fur, you might say. :)

For this one, I took a bunch of flowers that I'd cut and layered and curled them so they'd pop up. I may go back and cut out the it's a girl again since this is the shadow feature.

I LOVE how this one turned out. I got the idea from a blog, but can't for the life of me remember whose it was. If this was yours, please let me know so I can give you credit. It had an N on the onesie. Thanks!

Last one. This one turned out really fun. I used Pink by Design's 'Here Comes the Bride' for the sentiment. Just goes to show that just because the set is for one thing, it doesn't mean they don't fit other occasions.

36 Week Layout

As promised, I did another layout and let you guys see my big pregnant belly!! I think these are, by far, my favorite pictures of when I was pregnant. They're also the last belly pictures I got before the little monkey arrived. :) I cut the silhouette out myself and I have to admit, I love the idea, but not exactly how my drawing turned out. haha Oh well.

3 Glorious Years!!

Today marks my 3rd wedding anniversary. These last three years have had a lot of changes but I wouldn't change them for the world! I love you babe!

I have a bunch of projects to show you but lil monkey and I have been down with colds the last couple days. So there goes the dinner plans for tonight, as well as everything else that needs to be done around here.

Mothers Day 2011

Here's the Mothers Day cards I made this year. I wanted to keep them simple (I made 10 for family and mommy friends) and I love how they turned out. They feel very spring-y and living in western WA, we can use all the spring we can since we don't see the sun that much. :)

In other news, today is the anniversary of the day my hubby and I met! We've been together 7 years and it feels like yesterday that we laid eyes on each other. Our wedding anniversary is on Tuesday and we've been married for 3 years! Crazy how time flies!
