Hello Stampers! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I know I enjoyed mine! As I returned to my stamping corner tonight, I decided to work on the Mojo Monday sketch.

Card of the day

Hello Stampers! This is a baby card I did recently for a friend. When going thru my sets to find a baby one, I realized, I need some more!! It's just not an occasion that comes up very often so I guess, I don't think about it! The rabbit is stamped onto close to cocoa with choc chip craft ink. I then embossed it with clear powder. I took one of my old aqua painters and filled it with pure bleach. Use that to bleach out the image and then cut out. Enjoy!

Stamps: a new little someone (retired)
Ink: choc chip craft
CS: barely banana, not quite navy, celery DSP, whisper white
Other: white satin ribbon, ticket corner punch, polka dots embossing folder, stampin dimensionals, button, linen thread

Blog Changes

Hello Stampers! I made a change on the blog that you may or may not have noticed. I removed the regular "favorites" link list on the left and replaced it with a list of blogs/sites that offer daily challenges. It is where I get much of my inspiration and it may help you too when you don't know where to start. Try a challenge today, they're addicting. Enjoy!

Card/Project of the day

Hello Stampers! I was waiting to post this until I deliver this gift to the recipient but since she is in the hospital right now, I don't think I have to worry about her seeing it!! This gift is for my friend, Angela. It is a small clear paint pail from Michaels. I bought a pack of plain white onesies and a pack of iron-on patches. I applied the patches and then rolled each onsie up and tied Stampin Up ribbon around each one. I also used cardstock and ribbon to decorate the pail. I figured the pail can be used as a bank after it is emptied. Isn't it the cutest??!! Enjoy!
