I apologize, but I've had a lot going on with Tastefully Simple this past week, but today I'm redeeming myself by getting back into the Workshop to make some cards. I have a Very Good Reason too, as there is a NEW BABY! in the neighborhood! New life, what a miracle! This one is especially miraculous as the couple has been waiting to adopt for over a year. And on March 8, their prayers were answered at last! I won't post names to protect their privacy, but needless to say the neighborhood is Very Happy for them! So I had buy gifts and make cards!
Where else to look for inspiration but Heather's Sunday Sketch Challenge? (which I totally missed last week - bummer!) Here's the sketch:
And here are my two versions of the card. I figured I will be ready for the next baby announcement that comes along, eh? OK, some caveats - LOTS OF RETIRED STUFF GOING ON HERE - but in my defense, I alread own all of this stuff and I don't get to make baby cards very often, so I had to pull out what I had!
The Specialty Designer Series Paper is current - "Sending Love" (117153 - Occasions Mini), and the punches, and the rub-ons for the sentiment in the semi-circle. Speaking of which, the circles were cut with the Circle Scissor Plus (112530) and Glass Mat (112531) which I honestly didn't think I'd ever use but I've pulled it several times now for occasions such as this! The Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon is current too, and the colors are Pretty In Pink and Chocolate Chip to accomodate the color of the rub-ons.And speaking of specials (we were, weren't we? LOL), you have THREE DAYS LEFT FOR SALE-A-BRATION!!! Awesome sets still available for free with a $50 order!
One more thing, I have to thank EVERYONE for coming to my Tastefully Simple Open House last Friday night, and for having Catalog Parties for me in the month of March. I have one more party left to close, and I will have made my first segment's incentives - woo hoo! It means I will get some very much needed business supplies for free - a $66 value (per my calculations anyway!) I'm telling you, between Stampin' Up! exercising my creative side, and Tastefully Simple introducing me to awesome food, and both companies being so supportive, I feel very blessed! God has definitely been My Guide during these two ventures for sure.
So I hope to be back tomorrow with more Stampin' Projects, and Tastefully Tuesday is coming soon as well! Remember to look on the sidebar to the right to go to either of my websites or browse the catalogs!
Have a great Palm Sunday everyone, and take care!
Peg
