Good Monday morning to you! I know you are going to find it hard to believe, but there is still NO baby Oakley yet! I can't stand it! But things are looking up! At her appointment last Wednesday, her doctor said if she didn't have him on her own by today they will put her in the hospital tonight and get things started! Whew! Hopefully that means we will have him here before Wednesday!
With that in mind, I'm going to get some posts ready to auto-post so you will have something to see for the next few days (or week) while I am busy being grammie!
Speaking of being grammie, this weekend I had the chance to do just that with Liam. Liam's mommy, Kimberly, came down with the nasty tummy bug I had last weekend, and so I brought him home to stay with me on Saturday through Sunday afternoon. He was here for my "SWOW/Christmas Card" Classes, and charmed everyone, to say the least! Liam has always been my little buddy, I am looking forward to spending more time with him starting in August when his mommy goes back to work teaching school!
Today's card is one of the Christmas cards we made Saturday. This one uses the Tag It! Ronald McDonald House Charity set. I always make sure I purchase and use the set Stampin' Up! creates for this purpose each year because Stampin' Up! donates $3 from the sale of each set to the RMDH Charity. We have friends who lived at the Ronald McDonald House in St Louis when their little girl was born extremely prematurely, so this charity is near and dear to my heart!
Early Espresso, Real Red, Baked Brown Sugar, and Very Vanilla.
Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder, Chalk Talk Framelits.
Real Red, Early Espresso, Baked Brown Sugar Stampin' Write Markers.
Basic Jewel Rhinestones and Tea Lace Doily.
Inside a verse from More Merry Messages and snowflake-y stamp from A Round Array!
We cut the Tea Lace Doily in to four pieces, then pleat/gathered each piece as shown and attached to the back of the focal image with a Glue Dot and SNAIL adhesive.
Did you know the Tea Lace Do ilies, while the catalog says they are white, are actually an off-white color now? It's true! They are perfect for a homespun-looking card like this one!
Well, that's all for today! I hope to have baby Oakley news for you soon!
Until tomorrow, which I hope is Oakley's birth-day, have a Stampingrox! day!
