Hello Friends! Boy did I miss you all while I was away! Hope you all had a really nice Thanksgiving as we did. I can't believe how fast time is flying by with Christmas just around the corner. I need to put up my decorations to get me in the spirit and to remind me that I need to hurry and get things done (like Christmas cards that I still have to make, etc. etc. etc.)!
I made another notebook for a dear niece who's visiting from Arizona for the holidays with her DH (he's actually my sweet nephew) and their adorable almost 2-yr old son. She requested something in blue, her favorite color, with the Rain Anya image. Her clothes, stockings, shoes and umbrella are all paper pieced. I hope she likes it. She'll be entered in the following challenges:
Card Recipe:
Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Rain Snow Shine
Paper: Basic Grey - Oh Baby! Boy
Ink: Copic Markers, Memento Black
Tools/Accessories: Nestabilities, Rollabind, Doodlebug Sew Easy Rub-on Stitches. Kaisercraft Pearl Strips and Rhinestones and satin ribbon purchased from Munchkins in Mililani Town Center. Hat charm from my stash.
Thank you all so much for continuing to support me by visiting my blog and for all your sweet and loving comments. It means the world to me!
I'd also like to thank Steph from Stamping & Sharing for my blog candy win. She called it a "Mini" blog candy but it was huge! If you haven't already met her through her blog, please visit her--she does fabulous work! All her creations are beautiful and she is such a sweet and giving young lady with an enormous heart! Thank you so much, Steph!
Have a great day, everyone and I'll come visit you at your blog!
