My sister turned 30 yesterday on February 4th. Sarah and I have that special bond that only sisters can have. Sometimes I feel like she is the older sister, maybe because she had kids before I did and I often ask for her advice regarding children. Although growing up, I was definitely the bossy older sister. Sarah, I hope you enjoy this card I made you.

I used The Sweet Stop Sketch #143.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Today is release day for the fabulous new digikit My Girl by Amy’s Designs. Amy designed it with the color scheme and elements of her daughter’s bedroom in mind.

It is perfect for those girly layouts. I’m sure you could use it for layouts that aren’t too girly, but the rest of the creative team had girl on the brain too. You can see their layouts here.

I have two layouts that use it. One I shared Monday.

The second layout also uses one of the photos from Janette’s newborn photo shoot. This was my favorite from the shoot with Kristie Woodworth Photography. We ordered an 11×14 print of it. I think I will use the layout for the cover page of Janette’s scrapbook album.

Have a great day!

Queen Wild Scraps is hosting a speed scrap at Scraps N Pieces on Wednesday – the prize will be a gift certificate to her store for $3.50.

Queen Wild Scraps is also the featured designer at Scraps N Pieces starting on February 1.

I have a layout to share today that I am really really pleased with how it turned out. It uses 5 of the photos from Janette’s newborn photo shoot by Kristie Woodworth Photography. I was beyond pleased with how the photo shoot went, so if you’re in the Austin area and looking for a photographer, I totally recommend Kristie.

Yesterday, was James’ grandfather’s 90th birthday. I hope I live that long. I wanted to make him a special card that had 90 on it somewhere. I used the January Sketch for You to Try. I was very inspired by this card using the sketch.

Stamps: The Cat’s Pajamas Smells Like Cake, You Say It’s Your Birthday
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Basic Black
Designer Paper: Stampin’ Up Sweet Pea
Ink: Stazon Jet Black
Embellishments: twine; Stampin’ Up button
Tools: Stampin’ Up scallop trim border punch, small oval punch; Spellbinders small and classic circle nesties

I actually made this card yesterday when I went stamping at my friend Lori’s, so it won’t arrive in Pawpaw’s mailbox until at least tomorrow. This means it will be late, but we’ll just say I’m prolonging his celebration.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
