I'm BACK! HHH!

Wow!  It feels like forever since I've been able to participate in Hip Hop Hangover!  Dustin is finally back and life it finally getting back to normal.  I'm sure you can tell in my demeanor.  It is ROUGH to be both Mommy and Daddy while pregnant! Plus, there was QUITE a mess for me to clean up while Dustin was gone but it's pretty much taken care of now.

Enough about me, were you at Hip Hop yesterday?  Wasn't it super fun?  The specials are still going on over at the Unity site, you have all weekend.  There's a BUNCH of cute stamps for 40% off AND there's FREE SHIPPING!  I finally got to place an order and I'm super excited to get it!

My first card is for a challenge to make a birthday card without using "traditional" birthday stamps.  I used my April KOTM.  I seriously messed up on this card so many times.  But I just kept adding until I was happy with it.  Look AJ, I used Kraft!  (Thanks to my pal Lee, I am no longer Kraft-less!)    I started this as a clean and simple card but mistakes happened and this is what I ended up with.  But hey, I like it so that's all that matters.  

My second card was for the challenge to use the colors of the globe on your card.  The trees are from Tiny Trinity and you'll never guess what, I don't think I've EVER used those little trees before.  In fact, this might be the first Tiny Trinity card I've made without the round tree.  I added some paper piercing to this.  The ribbon stuff is all natural and organic, in honor of Earth Day a couple days ago.  And I finished with dew drops.  

Happy Friday everyone!  I'll be back later on today with the EtsyInspired winner for the gorgeous jewelry!  Remember, you have until noon Pacific time to enter EtsyInspired for this week.
