Proud Momma/Friday Sketchers

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! I wanted to take a few minutes to brag on my oldest son. Last night was his first T-ball practice. Our family is a huge fan of baseball. I grew up with baseball and watching my brother play little league baseball. Since we lived in southern California we were able to see some Angels (and they will always be the Anaheim Angels to me) and Dodgers games but I think I was more an Angels fan than Dodgers. Then when I met my husband and he grew up a Yankees fan (it was bred into him living in Connecticut). Both of my boys are Yankees fans now and I have been converted to the "dark" side hehehe. I love the Yankees and probably get to find out more info than my husband does about them.
Anyway, when we told my son he was going to be playing T-ball he couldn't be more excited and was always talking about it and wanting to play. Today he got to practice and he had a blast. The good thing too is that there is a little boy that he knows on his team. I am so proud of him and I cannot wait to see him play his first game.
On to my project. I found, thanks to Whimsy stamps, a sketch blog called Friday Sketchers. Whimsy stamps is the host for Friday Sketchers this week. Here is my card I made for it. I love how it turned out. Even my husband gave me kudos on this one.
Here are the deets:

paper: PTI chocolate, stamper's select white, DCWV (green), Making memories (PP).

ink: Palette black

prismacolor pencils and copics

making memories flower and button

jewelry thread.

P.S. Sorry that the post got posted before I had a chance to post pictures. It seems that my laptop doesn't like to run in the mornings and that is when I get to upload everything. I will be working on it later and hopefully figure out what is going on. Also, since my laptop is on the fritz I wasn't able to add my watermark or give you the links to the blogs. I will be putting those up as soon as my laptop is up and running again. Until then here is the URL for whimsy and Friday sketchers.

Another Sarah Kay

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I hope that you had a great Tuesday. Mine was good. We had a little bit of a power struggle for a while but then Daddy came home for lunch, little one took a nap and my oldest and I got some time reading books, playing computer games, and playing out side working on writing letters and counting. It was very nice being able to spend some time outside "in my backyard". We never really spend time in the backyard and being able to sit at our table and throw the dog toy while my son plays on their outgrown play area. My hubby and I need to see about getting them something bigger for them that is cheap.

So, I actually had 2 Sarah Kay stamps and 2 thank you cards I needed to make. So after we put the boys to bed I sat down to make my second thank you card with my second Sarah Kay stamp. I decided to do a little more simple thing today. Since it is so simple I am going to forgo the details. As always though, if you have any questions please feel fre to ask. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Thank you

Happy Tuesday!!! Wooohooo, I have made it to two posts in a row.

I mentioned before that I had some new stamps to play with, this is one of them. I just had to ink them up. I only got this one done because bending over my table was starting to hurt my back. But I have a couple "thank you" cards to make for a couple of lovely ladies in my ward that were very helpful when I didn't even ask them or knew that I needed their help.

I decided to use a Sarah Kay stamp made by Stampavie. She is called "Fanny's cuddle" and it is a clear stamp, stamps up wonderfully too.

I used vintage cream cardstock to stamp fanny on and for the card base. She was stamped in palette noir and colored using prismacolor pencils because I have very few copics that I could use to color her with.

I also used my clear glitter pen to add some glitter to her outfit and a yellow glitter pen to bling up her hair.

The patterned paper is from DCWVs Nana's nursery (girls) paper pack. The ribbon is PTIs berry blush stitched ribbon, that is also the same color I used to sponge the edges of the image.

The flower and cardboard button were just in my stash and I couldn't tell you what brand they are but I can tell you that the button was bought at Michael's a little while back in the $1 section. I hope you like it. I am very happy with it since it has been a while since I have made anything.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
