When I got onto blogger this morning, I signed in using my google account, wrote & posted my entry for today, went to my blog to view the post and it wasn't there. So I signed out, went back in and it showed it posted but when I went online to view it, it still isn't there. Apparently I have 2 blogs with the same name - the log-in is just different. Go figure!
2015 has arrived and with it the promises I make to myself to to things better.
Eat better, be more active, be more creative, be better about posting what I
create, etc. So it is now the 4th of January and I want to share a card I made
yesterday to celebrate the birth of my new great-nephew, Ellis, who was born
last night at 6:33 p.m. Welcome to the world Ellis!!
The idea is not an original. I saw something
similar on Pinterest (I think) but thought it was so cute I wanted to make one
myself. The original used a Teddy Bear popping out of the dresser drawer and an
image by Mo Manning of a child dressing itself. After spending hours looking
though my stamps and online through images of babies, I came to the sad
conclusion I would have to either draw my own or pay money for an image I would
probably only use one time. So, I drew the image of the sitting baby and colored
it using Copics.
I personally think every little boy needs a puppy, so
instead of the teddy bear sticking out of the dresser drawer, I found an image
in my stamp stash of this cute little patchwork puppy. The original card used
white brads for the drawer pulls, but I liked the idea of the little buttons. A
little designer paper for the dresser front and the wall behind the baby - and
it was finished. I love the way the cuts and folds to the card make it stand up.
Too cute.
Until Next Time -
God Bless & happy stamping!
Jill
