Above is 8X8" scrapbook page using Melanie's Wee-Tees Set......the onesies were stamped on DP, and then I added chipboard letters to spell the word "JOY" on them, the adorable girl is my 11-month old niece, Tavi Pearl.

Another StampTV Challenge - Badger Style

Last Monday's Color Challenge on StampTV was to use Red, Black and White. So of course I had to do a Bucky Wee-Tee! LOL! I did the image and sentiment on my computer, printed it out on 80 lb. Gina K Luxury White card stock and stamped the Wee Tee image over the top (it took a few tries to get it centered) I used this weekend's Sketch over on Taylored Expressions. 

If I ever know of a family that's expecting and are huge Wisconsin Badger fans I'll have the perfect card to give them. LOL.

Good Evening!

This is a card I made for this week's Sketch Challenge over on StampTV. I picked up the Basic Grey Archaic Paper at Gina K's Store this week (along with the buttons and brads ~ I have to coordinate LOL) And came up with this for my card using Melanie's Wee-Tees set. 

Recipe:

Stamps: Wee Tees (Gina K Designs)

Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Gina K Chocolate Kiss, Basic Grey Archaic

Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive

Accessories: Basic Grey Archaic Buttons & Brads, Horizontal Slot Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, 1/16" hole punch

Have a great weekend!

Hugs, LJ

Sweet Wee-Tees!

Happy Friday! 

I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer for Melanie's new set Wee Tees (Gina K Designs). Here is my card for today. Last weekend I was walking around the baby section (of course!) of a store at the mall, and I noticed that there is a lot of spring baby stuff with fruits on them (especially cherries!) So that's where I got the inspiration to make this card. This card could be used as a congratulations card to a new mom and dad, or even a birth announcement (think how cute the inside would be if there was a picture of a baby in a cherry or red onesie!). The sweet sentiment is from Melanie's "Have a Cookie" Set (also Gina K Designs). The onesie was stamped on Gina K 80 lb Luxury White Cardstock, and then I sponged Bashful Blue Ink over it. 

I'm having SOOOOO MUCH Fun with Melanie's Wee Tee's set. I made a really cute project that Melanie is sharing on her blog today, so be sure to go over and check it out! 

Have a super weekend!
