White on White Color Challenge

WOW, this was harder than I thought it would be. I'm not sure I've ever made an all-white card in the 10 years I have been stamping. So this is it - my first all-white card!! The blog "Less is More" is having a challenge where you make a card using ONLY WHITE.


Are you ready for it?????












Well, what do you think????? Its hard to get white to show up on white paper. I used glitter on top of the stamped image to make it show up more.

WOW. I haven't updated my blog in a week!!

See? That's what happens when I start working!! LOL I had a busy day at Belks on Friday and Saturday. Sold $600 so I thought that was pretty good. I was so busy on Saturday, I never stopped all day!!! We now Emily home for the summer and all is good :).












These cute baby birds were just hatched in this teeny tiny nest (about 3" in size).

Happy Birthday Nicholas!!



WOW, 16 years has passed since I had you. When you first came out, none of us (including the doctors and nurses) could believe you were close to 10 POUNDS!! I knew you would be big since I felt HUGE. Here I was 3 days before I delivered you. Happy 16th!!!

Another fun A Muse blog hop!

If you are participating in the blog hop, you should've come from Samantha's blog. Here we go ...


First, I stamped the flowers in Orange ink from A Muse. These flowers are from the Graphic Sunflower A Muse set.








Next, I stamped the stems in Fern and I used the Mad for Plaids A Muse set.










Last but not least, I stamped the butterfly in bubblegum pink and the Congratulations in Orange A Muse ink. The butterfly is from Just Because and the sentiment is from the Past Due set.










I added bubblegum pink buttons (from A Muse) and got this as my final card on orange A Muse cardstock.

After my blog, you should head on over to Gena's blog and check out her cute cards!! Thanks for stopping by!! I'd be thrilled if you added a comment to mine. Thanks so much! :)
