Get Your Diva On!

This card was made for the Get Your Diva On contest by Verve stamps.  I would love to win me some Verve stamps!  Yummy!

I dug through the stash for this card.  I used some beautiful patterned paper from Rusty Pickle from like 4-5 years ago!  Then, I cut the medallion from pink cardstock using a Spellbinders' Shapeability and a silver glitter paper scalloped circle from my Nestabilities underneath.  I took the little heart cutouts from the small silver glitter medallion and used them at the corners of the card.  Next, I layered a couple of ribbons from my stash and added the sentiment and frame on pop dots for dimension.  Lastly, I cut a couple of swirl roses from the Rusty Pickle patterned paper and added some pink stickles to the petals.

I hope you like it!  It was fun to make and now I have an anniversary card for my parents in April!

Our Precious Gift 2010

This first thing I have to share on my new blog is our precious gift from God we received this holiday season, our son, Ryker Jaden.  Ryker was born on November 19, 2010, weighing in a 6 pounds and 13 ounces.  After 6 years of trying to have a brother for Jordan, we finally did it and we're just elated!

Here's my favorite shot from his first photo shoot. I had been planning this shot if I ever got to have another child and I'm so glad it came out so well.  I made the bow and the tag shown on him.  The tag was made using the Sweet Scallop Tag die and Sweet Scallop Tag stamp from Verve Stamps.  I printed "From God" on white cardstock using my computer printer.  Then, I stamped the tag around the sentiment and lined up the die to cut it out.  I love Verve dies because of the template that comes with them.  It's a clear template that matches the die and allows you to line up the die perfectly to your stamped image before cutting.  Genius!

Thanks for stopping by!
