Today is a new day


Hi!! Today is a new day! And being pregnant with my second child has introduced me to an adventure in nesting like no other. I feel like I've been nesting this entire pregnancy! One can only reorganize a bedroom, a closet, a cabinet so many times before you feel like you need to invest some time visiting the nearest Ikea. I've been going pin crazy on Pinterest! Pinning food, DIY, food- oh did I mention that already?! This Mama Bear is hungry, haha! But in the midst of my crazy nesting I have had opportunities to be very creative. As a Stampin Up Demonstrator I have the opportunity of meeting monthly with a great group of creative women. I participated in my first card swap last week.  I must begin by saying I was really stressed out trying to figure out what kind of card I wanted to do. Also deciding what In Colors I wanted to display. Needless to say the night before after making four cards I actually came up with a pretty card for the swap!
On this card I used Stampin Up products from our new catalog. The paper is Whisper White card stock. I used the new In Colors for 2014-2016: Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Baked Brown Sugar which is in the 2013-2015 In Colors. I love how these colors go together!! I used the Work of Art Stamp set for the wording and stamped the flowers with the In Colors then punched them out with the Pansy punch. This card was fun to make and I was able to make a total of ten in about thirty minutes once I got the idea of what I wanted it to look like. And of course after raiding the walls of Pinterest for inspiration. I am pretty happy with how it came out and for my first card swap everyone really liked it.

I am working on my blog page and slowly but surely I will have additional info on how you can order  Stampin Up products from me. Email me if you have any questions about the products used on this card. Or if you have any questions about Stampin Up. I hope in the coming weeks to continue to post pictures of cards I create and I'll keep you posted on how bear cub number two is coming along! Until I blog again.
This Mama Bear is over and out!
