My Time to Create Inspiration Challenge

I love this color combo! I almost made a baby card and then decided to make a card with butterflies. I tried to create an embossed background with my inspiration being the brown pillow on the bed. I ended up without any flowers. Hope you enjoy. I'm adding this quickly as I need to get to bed. There is a golf tournament in the morning and the proceeds are going towards Neuroblastoma Research in Ethan's honor. I'm not golfing (not sure if I could get a club past my belly), but I will be there to cheer everyone else on! Hope everyone has a great weekend. I've been pretty busy this week so no creations to share from me! We did start making Kale's diaper bag yesterday so I'm anxious to have that finished up!


Be sure to check out all of the other creations from the Design Team!




And....last, but definitely not least.....here is my Ava girl!

Alicia - totally adorable (the card AND AVA of course!) Love the curvy border on the left and the 'quilting' :)

OMG girl...this is soo cute! Love how you trailed the butterflies with rhinestones and scored the brown panel to resemble the pillow! How clever!! I love that pillow also...had to do something with it :)

Oh and what an absolutely perfect shot of Ava! You are a wonder with that camera...I gotta tell you!

Glad to hear they are having a golf tournament in Ethan's honor to raise money for Neuroblastoma Research! Hope they raise oodles of money and you have a wonderful morning cheering them on.

Can't wait to see Kale's diaper bag. I know his room is going to be absolutely adorable :O)

Alicia this is totally adorable - love the butterflies and the embossed brown paper - you totally captured the spirit of the piece - I, too, almost made a baby card, in fact I probably will go back and make one with those colors. Have a great weekend.

Love the card. Everything went together so nicely. Always looking for good ideas. As usual Ava's picture is adorable. You really are great with the camera. Every penny counts for research and I hope the tournament raised a good amount of money. Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to show us the bag when you are finished. Sandy from MD

THis is so sweet! I love your flying butterflies and the way you applied the embossed brown to your card.

Your little girl is a DOLL! Is that Papertrey ribbon I spy in her hair? :) Have a wonderful weekend

Emelia's Frozen Party

Emelia's 4th birthday was all about Frozen like every other little girl turning 4!  She just loves to sing and dance to all the songs.  Here is her invitation.  She loved it!  
A friend of mine showed me how to make cookies with royal icing. I love this new hobby abc I've been getting better at my detail work. Like I needed another hobby, but what the heck!  The kids love to help make the cookies too!

Emelia Rose is 2!

My how time flies! Our darling little Emelia Rose is 2 already. Where has the time gone?  She is solo sweet and funny and did I mention adorable too! Her signature pigtails just add to her cute little personality.

One of my favorite things she does now is every night at bedtime I put her in her bed and she says in her sweet little voice,"Sweep in my window!" She loves for us to lay in her window seat while she is getting to sleep! Now if we could only get her to stay asleep in her bed all night!

These are her two year highlights!

Favorite foods: only have found a couple she doesn't like, cantelope and chicken. Otherwise she eats everything on her plate and yours too!

Loves to carry around a purse

Wears her pigtails with her bows!

Loves to do things "myself!"

Still likes to have a bottle at night night time.

Gives the best hugs and kisses!

Loves her little kitten Dakota and carries her around all of the time! She likes to smoosh her in the back of her trike!

Prayer Request

As some of you know that follow my blog our son, Ethan, has cancer and he relapsed last August. I am saddened to say that Ethan's cancer has progressed and we did not receive a very good report from his Doctor. He is still feeling great and you can't see any signs of this physically, but we don't know what the future holds. So I will be taking a "break" from my stamping blog. I'm sure all of you understand that I'm needed elsewhere right now! Thanks to all of you that check in and for all your kind words. This will definitely be the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life. So go hug your kiddos and live each day to the fullest! Please keep my Ethan and our family in your prayers! GOD BLESS!
