Hello Out There!

Hello! I thought I'd pop in quickly today, I finally got inky! And when I say finally, I mean this is only the second time in months and months. Today I'm 32 weeks pregnant and boy oh boy...it's been a rough ride this time around! Speaking of boys...

I can't wait to meet our little bundle of joy! Maybe THEN the morning sickness will stop! 

I've been so tired this pregnancy that crafting seemed like too much work. I also had to relocate all my stuff (and is there ever a lot of it) to make room for baby, so my craft area was in disarray for months. A few months ago I got a gorgeous big package from Verve though, and I finally got to dip in and play with my new goodies!

I started small with a tag. It's hard to get inky when you're out of practice! The stamps here are from the gorgeous Beautiful Things stamp set, I've also used the matching dies as well as the Dreamy Leaves and Pennant Trim dies. 

I used a stencil from MFT and some embossing paste as well as lots of distress products on the base of the tag. The ink colours were Abandoned Coral, Festive Berries and Fired Brick with Walnut Stain edges. The seam binding is from Verve. 

It feels good to give my poor neglected blog a little love, not to mention my craft supplies. Thanks for letting me share!

Reverse Confetti New Release Blog Hop!

woohoo! The new Reverse Confetti release is in store and available for purchase now! 

You can find all the new goodies right here. You should have made it here from Kay's blog, if you need to start at the beginning of the hop, you should jump on over to the Reverse Confetti blog. 

Every year it seems I forget at least one present and need a gift tag super fast. If you're like me, I have you covered! I've used the new Holly Jolly Quick Card Panels and Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts to create a couple of tags perfect for those last minute gifts you still want to have a handmade touch.

That gorgeous new Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts? Yup, the exact size to cut a fabulous tag from one of the amazing quick card panels with no waste! Love that! I've used the accent pieces to decorate the top of the tags and stamped the to/from in the With Love stamp set.

I finished my tag tops with the fun Hang Ups Confetti Cuts

I couldn't resist decorating a frosted pillow box to match. I used a quick card panel, cutting strips to wrap around the pillow box then finishing with a Hang Ups embellishment and Holly Confetti Cuts.

It's time to head over and visit with Laurie now - happy hopping and shopping!
