Mojo Monday Baby Shower!

Yaaay!  I finally got a chance to play a little this week and even had a good excuse!  I have a baby shower today and needed a card.  I was counting earlier, including me, I've known six different people that have had babies since September of 2011 and I know five more having babies between May and this September!!  It's like there's something in the water lately! ;O)  Stay clear of Alaska if you don't want a bundle of your own!!

I played along with this week's Mojo Monday sketch and used my favorite digi stamp from Meljen's Designs.  Believe it or not, she still has it in her freebies here!!  They currently have a blog challenge to use one of their stamps with pink and green.  Wish I had checked before I did this card...I may just have to do another one! ;O)

Unscripted Sketches Take 3....

Alright, last one with this sketch, I swear! :O)  When I went to link my card to the Unscripted website, I realized they were doing a piggy back challenge to use pink in your card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I think everyone has someone in their life that's battled breast cancer and I thought the least I could do is make a pink card as a show of support!  

Not to mention, it was a great excuse to use the most adorable digi pony stamp that I just realized is a FREEBIE on Meljens Designs blog!!  Seriously, how cute is he!!!

Unscripted Sketches #70 and Meljens Designs Freebie

I've been desperately trying to complete a 1-page layout for the last few weeks, but, it just isn't coming together!!!  So, in the meantime, I decided to take a little mental break and whip up a card for my Uncle's birthday.  I already had this super cute image called Triple Treat Cupcakes from Meljens Designs in mind and thought this weeks sketch at Unscripted was perfect for it!  I tried to add colored glitter to look like sprinkles to the liquid applique.  But, every time I attempted to "sprinkle" the glitter, it just ended up being a giant blob.  So, I ended up just using clear glitter to sparkle up the icing.
