Born to be WILD

On Friday, I went to visit my parents and daughter at college.  My brother and family was on a vacation at the WI Dells which has excellent indoor water parks.  He took my nephew Greysen who will be three in April who had a blast.  He dropped him off at my parents while he went home to unpack and shovel from all the snow we got the other day.  We had fun playing with my nephew - who is a handful and inspired my card.

Teddy bear

My daughter has been attached to her "teddy" which is actually Sully from Monsters, Inc. Disney Movie.  We picked it up when we were on vacation because she was scared to be away from home, and even now when she is 20 she still has it at college.  So I just loved this image by Stamp Fairy which I thought was perfect with the sentiment from TLC, Create.  My second card is using an image from Kenny K which some tickets from TLC, Create.  My third card is using a gorgeous Spring image from Paulette's last club at TLC so hopefully it will be available in the store at a later date.  (It is now available Spring set)

Chocolate really helps...

Well my other cousin that I babysat for is having a baby, there just seems to be an epidemic of babies at this time.  She knows she is expecting a girl.  My cousin is a petite girl, and knows too much because she is a doctor.  I made her a funny card from Bugaboo and plan to give her some Godiva chocolates.  As I recall, NOTHING, helps the pain.  That is just my opinion.  I didn't have an epidural, and believe me my children were both big so we don't even need to discuss the details.  For my card, I used glossy accents on the glasses which doesn't show up well on the photo.  My second card is an image from TLC, Create that Paulette just had in the current club which I just loved for Spring.  After snowblowing five inches today, I think it will be awhile before we see it here in WI.  My third card is using an adorable image from Torico, Birdie Brown and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  For my last card, I used another Bugaboo image which is this weeks freebie and sentiment from TLC, Create.

Sing soft kitty

My family loves the show "The Big Bang Theory" so when Paulette had this freebie the other day that has a saying from the show I just had to make a card with it.  It just happens that my kids were singing "Soft Kitty" the other day so it will be perfect to send to my daughter who is stressing out about being back at college.  Then I made a red and black card using a new set from TLC, Create that I received from Paulette which I thought was perfect for this weeks Mojo sketch.  For my third card I used the Splitcoast sketch and colors with an image from Torico and a sentiment from TLC, Create.
