Welcome Baby Boy

Greetings everyone!  Today I am sharing my last card for the Whimsy and Stars Spring 2014 Design Team.  I have had a marvelous time designing with Mabelle's digis and working with all my design sisters.

Here is my card for today's post, which can be found in the Whimsy and Stars Studio Shop titled Sweet Arrival.  One of our sons is actually expecting his first child in August and we know it is going to be a boy!

I'm excited to share my newest Whimsy and Stars Studio digi creation, "Coffee Girl".  I definitely cannot start my day without my morning coffee so when I made this card for my hubby he knew it was really special!  My post is also a little sad since this is the last showcase for the Spring DT.

"Coffee Girl" is available for purchase in Mabelle's Etsy store, along with many more fabulous digis.

Little Lamby

Today I am excited to share one of Whimsy and Stars new digital images, "Little Lamby" which is available in Mabelle's store here.  I think this is such an adorable image for an Easter card and here is the one I made just for this holiday:

I chose Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane design paper because the pattern resembles crosses, and what a perfect compliment to my image!   Checkout the Whimsy and Stars Facebook page for more creative ideas.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!

Future Plans

Good morning dear friends!  I thought I would share my latest adventures with you.  I am taking some time off posting on my blog and card designing.   I will still be creating cards for my family, friends and card ministry, but hope to be back designing in the Spring! .  My goal is to spend more time developing my own creative style.  Right now I am focusing my efforts on more Bible studies, photography and dabbling with polymer clay and jewelry.   Love all of you and I will stay in touch!
