BOOTIES EVERYWHERE

2011-06-15T14:46:00.001-07:00

I have been enjoying making cute booties for my upcoming niece and nephews. Just in case you didn't know, there were 5 frantz women due within 5 months. I was the first due with a little boy, Katie was second, a little boy, Kim 3rd with a little boy, Sarah 4th with a little GIRL, and Tori 5th with a little boy. Come to find out, squished in the middle there, is another little boy cousin!! whew, that is a lot.

These little cowboy booties were a blast to create!! Seriously cute. I had a hard time giving them away. Kim wants to bring home her little boy from the hospital in them, what an honor!

These little beauties are for the lone girl in the pack!! Again, they were fun to make and I know she will love them!

Instead of all cards, this time I am going to mix things up. Right now I am on a crochet kick. Making a lot of gifts for new babies in my family. Katie and Jon recently had their baby and this is what I made them. It was totally fun.
When I finish other projects, or when babies are born and given their gifts, I will post pictures of my creations

Well, after taking a long break from the crafting world, (to get kids healthy and summer started!) I thought now was a great time to get back into the swing of things! A great surprise awaited when I found out that it was the 1st Annual 2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown. Lucky timing I think!! So without further ado, here is the creation for this wonderful event.

Here is my go at Laura's sketch 21 from 2s4y. I loved making this card for a friend who is expecting a little boy, their first, after a pair of girls. YEAH for little boys!!

enjoy

So, I think I jinxed it. I made this fun spring card because, HEY, the sun is shining and the grass is showing. Then all of the sudden it is snowing...a lot. BOO! I can't believe it. I guess I will hold on to this card for just a while before using it!

Kazan's sketch 20

2009-02-18T13:58:00.000-08:00

So this week at 2s4y there is an awesome sketch by Kazan. Here is my take on the creative sketch. Glad I got it done before the big trip to AZ. Where the sun is shining and the weather is GREAT. A nice change of pace, we are still covered in snow. Here's hoping my 2 year old (with double ear infection) and 5 month old will do ok and not scream the whole way and bother the nice people on the airplane!

*Sorry, the picture is a little tilted making it look uneven.*

SO, this week I had a hard time picking out a color scheme and my honey said I should do black and white. This is what we came up with! Enjoy, this is "Just for you".

Kazan's Sketch 19

Here is to another week of card making! YAY! I thought I wouldn't be able to try this sketch out this week because my 4 month old daughter had to get ear tubes on Tuesday. She did wonderfully and is super happy now!! I took advantage of her happiness to make this card based off Kazan's sketch 19 from 2S4Y.

Laura's Sketch 18

I was really excited to see the sun today. We have been buried in snow for a month. Not just some snow, mounds of snow!! Anywho, I had fun creating this colorful card dedicated to the sunshine today, based off the Laura's sketch #18 from 2S4Y! I also had a little fun taking pictures. Enjoy!
