LOVE YOU FRIEND / BLD & BBD Blog Hop.,..

Good morning!!! We're having a big hop today ~ byLORIdesigns and Baby Bud Designs have joined up for some SUPER good times - lol! If you came here from Ildiko's blog then you are in the right track! If not, the hop order can be found at either BLD's or BBD's blog.

My card is very simple today... It's from byLORIdesigns, called Love You Friend. Only a spot of color in the paper pieced heart... not totally by choice really, but out of necessity!

Maisie, my 1 year old fell last night & I was at the emergency room with her until 10:30 or so... but she's just fine, no worries! I'm a very last minutes stamper... a "if it's due tomorrow, I'll make it today" kinda gal. Maybe I'll finish the coloring and re-post it tomorrow - lol!

The sentient is from one of my sets (sorry to be riding on your coat tails, Lori & Krista!), Big Little Words.

Now it's time to be on your way over to Jenn's blog!!! I'm sure she has something awesome for you today!!!

See you back here soon....

DAISY BABY BUD / TPE #92 & CS #22...

Good morning! It's Monday & I'm dragging a little bit! Alex has the flu, and the rest of us are taking Tamiflu, keeping our fingers crossed! Hope you are well! Today's card features Daisy Baby Bud from Baby Bud Designs, who is sponsoring the current Pink Elephant Challenge.

I used sketch #22 from Cardabilities. These little Baby Buds are so fun to color! I used Copics. The TPE challenge is to use brown, red & pink.

The sentiment is from a set called Big Little Words that I designed! My new shop is the Wax Fruit Company. You can get a freebie from this set to try out on my previous post.


Hve a great day!

MOLLY BABY BUD / SSSC #99, PIO #2, CMM #12 & SBC#92...

Here's a little cutie that was "born" (released) yesterday ~ meet Molly Baby Bud from Baby Bud Designs! SO SWEET!

I've been dying to do Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch since she posted it... and as usual I had to do it my way - lol! Well, I woke up at 5ish this morning and rushed around so I could stamp before work... which was hard to do since I was talking on the phone til after 2am - lol! Cheers to my non-alcoholic hangover that rhymes with, heck I can't even rhyme, AGHHHH! How about Story Freud, Gory Void, Glory Overjoyed (likin' this one).... anyway please remember I'm only working on 3 hours sleep....

ANYWAY - the papers are some old retired SU! that I loved... as are the buttons. This fulfills the Stampin' B's Challenge. Since this is a cute little girly, it also fits Card Makin' Mamas. And I'm also going to enter this in the Pile It On, since it's a child.

Ahhh, well that's all for now... it's taken me a couple hours to type this up, so I better run!!!

Bye for now....

SNOW DROP BABY BUD / BBD #4, SS & PIO #2...

Oh my - isn't this the sweetest little thing?!? This is Snow Drop Baby Bud, by Mary Ann Wainright over at Baby Bud Designs. Not only did they start a new challenge today, they also have a new release - I'll be sharing a card with their new images later this evening!

The paper is from Basic Grey, the Olivia collection, it perfectly matches the SU! Groovy Guava, Old Olive & Kiwi Kiss. I may need more - lol!

This card fits the criteria for 3 challenges:

Baby Bud Designs - Friendship

Stamp Something - Use a digi

Pile it On - Cute children

Make sure to check out the new Baby Bud release, it's TOO CUTE!!!

NOELLE BABY BUD / CQC #64 & FTL #121...

Good morning! I'm sure this week is just whirlwind of activity! We have a new challenge for you over at the colourQ today, lovely red, green and pinks! I used Noelle Baby Bud for my card - isn't she a doll?

The Fall-to Layout is super fun this week, so I combined it with the colourQ challenge AND the winter/Christmas themed challenge over at Baby Bud Designs. The digi image is from Baby Bud , they have the cutest blog! You can find Noelle here.

It's hard to tell from the pic, but I used some glitter on the trim of her hat! The ric rac is from my stash, the rose ribbon is retired from SU!, the scalloped paper was crimped. The paper is K & Company Peppermint Twist collection, that I bought last year and never used! I used that same paper for the pleated tree I showed you yesterday! Anyway, I gotta finish up a layout I started, so I'll see you a little later!

Bye for now...
