Fabulous Stampin' on Friday!

  

I managed to fit in a little stamping time today and wanted to do a couple challenges that I had on my list.   I don't seem to find as much time to do them lately and I really do miss that.   I decided to try and combine the colors from Fab Friday with the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.   I should have snapped a picture of my desk after this attempt so you could see how many times I cut different paper for the base and layers.  I struggled to say the least!


I used the fun SAB set, Patterned Occasions, again for this one.   It's such a cute set and definitely one I'd recommend getting! I stamped it three times and kinda cut and pieced the colors I wanted together.   For some reason when I stamp a cupcake I want to put a flower on it, so I did...again.  :)   I think it ended up turning out kinda cute, but it was definitely a challenging card for me.   

Laila is up from her nap, so I'm going to cut this one short!  


I finally felt like I could handle seeing her in her Little Sister onesie today.

  12. You know using a cupcake with chevrons is kind of cheating, right? Because who can resist those two together??? :-) I love the layout. And you did GREAT on 5 colors:-) And pics of Laila are cheating too, lol! She looks adorable with big brother in her onesie. Love you guys! Hugs!!!!
