FM44: All You Need is LOVE

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project using the "Inspiration Photo".
2. Or Make a project using the colors "Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose & Whisper White".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project "Inspired by the photo using the colors Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose & Whisper White".

I love John Lennon and the Beatles and do a lot of crafting to their music!  I love Holly's graphic for this challenge.  :)   Heidi is our hostess with the mostest at The Friday Mashup this week and she gave us a color combination and/or inspiration picture to work with.  I think I mashed it up, but not exactly sure?  LOL  

I must have been thinking about this challenge earlier this week when I tried using Regal Rose.   I was NOT happy when I saw that I had to try it again!  For some reason it seemed easier to use this time and and I kinda like my project.   I thought it turned out really cute!   I might put chocolate in it and give it myself.  :)

Just for fun, look what I got in the mail from my mom today:

Is that not THE MOST GIGANTIC sock monkey ever??  I was having a major breakdown and he really cheered me up.   I figure he's so big that he might can function as my pregnancy pillow pretty soon!   :)  

FMS 18: Candy!

My buddy Linda has a fun new sketch for everyone this week at Freshly Made Sketches.  I love simple sketches because it really allows my mind to think up so many possibilities!    I did struggle to narrow down what I wanted to do this week, but as I was waking up yesterday I got an idea for a card.   I love when that happens.  

My idea was to make a shaker card using the Candy Conversations a la carte stamp from the new Mini catalog.   I LOVE candy hearts, so this stamp was on my very first order from the catalog.  Unfortunately, it didn't turn out quite like what I wanted as I am not feeling very creative lately.   I know I had mentioned that I wanted to stamp every day this month, but it just hasn't happened.  Hopefully I will get around to doing it a bit more. I've just been so discouraged with my results lately that I've been avoiding my room.   I do think I'll try the idea again in some different colors.  Pretty in Pink is just not a color that I like that much so maybe that's why I'm not loving my card.

I hope you'll come play along with us this week!   I'm off to find some candy now.   :)  

I'll try to post a few pictures of the new things I picked up for the baby this week and some ideas I had for the wall color of the nursery.   I know a few of you warned me about the gray, but Pinterest has me determined to make it happen!
