So here is what I came up with.

I machine stitched the money slot and added a sentiment also from PKSC-19

Precious Baby

Hi Everyone!

Just popping in to show you a baby tag that I made this weekend. I used three baby cards in the last three weeks so I really wanted to make a few more. Oh boy school starts tomorrow, my 8 year old is secretly excited - planning out his clothes and getting his pencil box ready. Most of his friends are not excited so I think my son is trying to play it cool :) They grow up so fast, I remember when he was going to preschool with a cape and rain boots - not at the same time - at least I don't think so :) 
Well here is my card, hope you enjoy it and your day!

Hi Everyone!
Oh my gosh I hope you are getting some nice weather. We are having a beautiful day! Before we head out to start our day (Baseball, swim class & BBQ) I wanted to share a Mothers Day card I made for 2 challenges. I recently purchased 3 packs of My minds eye paper from Scrapalicious, the Lost & Found TWO collection. Oh my goodness is it ever GORGEOUS!!! Some of the paper from this card is from the Sunshine pack.

Hope you have a GREAT day, thanks for stopping by and always leaving such SWEET comments! I have never come across such a fun & supportive group of men & women - THANK YOU!

Friends stick together

Hi Everyone!
Our family sure had a tough week. Last Saturday we lost a very special man in our lives, my best friends father.  My BF and I have been friends since we were little girls. I've known the family for almost 30 years. He was so full of life and such a wonderful Dad. My family will miss him terribly but we are resting easy knowing he is with his wife (or as he called her his bride) now and no longer missing her.
SO with that, I have some catching up to do....Blog and home. I know I missed some awesome things over the week and I really have been wanting to say thank you to my sweet girls that gave me the Versatile Blogger award.

Jessica, Sherrie, Amy, THANK YOU so much I feel so honored that you recognized me :)

I started creating this card before last week and I finished it today. I really wanted to make something fun, springy & simple as I only had a little time. So here's my version of of a Peeps card.

The peeps were created using my gypsy and the doodlecharms cartridge. I  used the bunny face cut and a circle. I welded the circle to the bunny head and voila - PEEPS I hope you get the sentiment. Peeps are sticky..... get it :) You know something Peeps aren't very good, but my BF loves them and I bought her some and I'm giving her this card. I know she'll smile. We have a silly sense of humor.  I've been with her this last week just supporting and taking care of her. That's what friends do...they stick together!!!
