Think Pink and Little Miss Vanity

Here's a card I did for Vivian's Think Pink breast cancer swap. Pink is usually easy for me to do, but BRIGHT and COLORFUL usually isn't.

The card design folds in an interesting way...the flap on top tucks under the oval on the left to keep it closed. Clever, eh? Well, it isn't my original layout. I received a card using this same folding design from Karen F. in an owl swap sometime this summer. And when I was thinking about the cards for this swap, well, I knew it would work perfectly. So thanks to Karen for her awesome design!

Above is the card partly open.

And of course, in my usual way, I have to throw in some sort of twisted humor!

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters. It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right? Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it. This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons. (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie. It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments. I think it finished it off nice

Precious Boy

A quiet, misty morning walk in late March 2012. This little precious boy puts a smile on my face every time I look at him. I mean, really, who wouldn't smile like there's no tomorrow at this little guy? I love him. Every. Little. Thing. He almost (ALMOST) competes with my husband. My sweet husband with a similar expression. What do YOU think?

Pour Vous

I finally took the opportunity to put together a couple little gifts this afternoon while my husband was once again slaving for the man on a Saturday afternoon. This is a little bag that holds a necklace I made for my daughter. For once I can honestly say that this was NOT difficult to create. Here's a close-up. Next up is the photo of the address label. I just LOVE decorating the OUTSIDE too. It just makes opening up the surprise package all that more exciting.
