How Ya Bee?

Hey y'all!  Normally I don't post on Sundays but in the midst of my card-making frenzy last Thursday I made a card for two challenges and I want to get it entered before they both end :)  Once again I reached for some long-retired stamps to make something new.  I am having fun dusting off these old sets!


The bee and leaf images are from the set Good Times, which I still think is super fun and I got it way back in the first year or two of my stamping career.  The circle and the sentiment are both from Simply Circles, another oldie but goodie.

Check out this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


As soon as I saw all those little circles, these two retired stamp sets popped into my head, especially in combination with this week's Color Throwdown:


I used Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green, and Pacific Point for my colors, though the sentiment in Pacific Point came out darker than I intended it to.  The first impression the color was a bit patchy (I have a few ink pads that I need to freshen up), and then when I stamped over it again it ended up darker than I really wanted it.  I love this color combo though.

Have a great Sunday, y'all!

A-Team Baby Book: No-Name's First Year

Happy Saturday, y'all!  Today I'm starting a brand new baby book series, and this one's for a GIRL!  My niece should be making her world debut here in a couple of weeks.  So here's the first page in her baby book:


Your eyes do not deceive you, there is no name on that page.  My brother and his wife have picked a name, but they're not telling until she gets here :)  My mom has the same Sizzix alphabet and I gave her some Cucumber Crush cardstock, so she can cut the letters to complete the page once Baby Girl arrives.  (Mom's local to them, I'm not.)  Anyway, they're going for a ladybug theme for the nursery so that's why I chose that for the front page.  And mama loves polka dots.  The album I picked to put all the pages in is black with white polka dots, too.


Today's color palette:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, and just a wee bit of Smoky Slate.

Cheers, y'all!
