Baby Shower Favor

My nanny's daughter is having her first baby, a little girl, and her shower is next weekend so I volunteered to make a little favor. I'll be spending some time this weekend making 16 of these. It's the cutest little thing...

Stamp Set- Tag Time (this set is now retired, but I have to mention that it was my very first stamp set and I just love this little baby and a perfect size for my project!)

Paper- Pink Pirquette (retired), Whisper White, Basic Grey

Ink- Black Staz On, Pink Pirquette

Miscellaneous- Matchbox Bigz XL Die, Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Emobssing Folder, Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, 1", 1 1/4", & 1 3/8" Circle punches, Blender Pen, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Happy Baby!!

Bye Bye old In Colors

As I sit here and finally get organized and switch out all retired stamps, colors, and accessories to make room for all my new stuff (I know, I'm a little late), I'm sad to see the old In Colors retired. I really loved all of the colors, as I'm sure I will love the new In Colors. My last class in June was the last time I used these colors and I used them on every card as a good bye (sniff sniff).

Here's what we made at my last class and a tribute to the old In Colors -


I saw this idea at Diana Gibb's and thought it was so cute using the Inspired By Nature stamp set with the Horizontal Slot punch.






And this card I received at our last monthly meeting swap. On Tracy's (I'm so sorry, I don't have her last
name, but you all would know her as Diana's bff), her corner was an actual corner bookmark, but I just put it on as decoration. Super cute idea with the bookmark though.
