Thanks to Jana!

Look at this beautiful Jacob's Ladder I received from Jana Weaver. You know her blog I'm sure, Jana's Creative Pursuits in Stamping. She's a fellow Mainer (although she lives in Germany now and gets to take the most fabulous trips!!) and makes gorgeous creations!! You can read about this one in this post. I love the story behind how she obtained all the coasters for this project! :)

Now I need to get printing some photos to put in it, so neat how the coasters actually flip! Thanks so much Jana!! Now come to Maine for a visit!

I know I haven't posted much in a while but here is a peak at one thing I've been working on. I'm not going to show the baby's birth announcements until after I send them, but here is a look at the Thank You cards. They do coordinate with the announcements so you get a small taste . . . .

When I saw these adorable new stamps from A Muse I thought they'd be so cute for baby things. Then I found the DP at Michaels, it's made by Anna Griffin and is so perfect (the other one is blue with cream dots). I used May Arts brown dotted organdy ribbon that I purchased from Jacksonbelle Embellishments' ebay store. I think I mentioned last time, she has gorgeous ribbons on her site and if you want the whole spool just email her . . . she's so helpful and sweet!

The cardstock is SU Very Vanilla and I used Stazon Black and Burnt Umber Palette inks as well as my SU Watercolor Wonder crayons. The words are from my Papertrey Ink Faux Ribbon set and the brown cardstock is Bazzill Walnut that I purchased from All That Scraps. Check out the site, the owner, Christine has great products - even some of those Marvy punches that are sold out everywhere! - and she has a Shopping $$ program where you earn money for shopping!

Ok, enough for now. I also finished a Bella swap early this week but I can't show you that quite yet. Have a great day and thanks for looking in! :)
