Oh Baby! It's KitCat Sunday!

It's the first KitCat for 2011!!!

The lovely Lorie was our January hostess with the mostest! Lorie just became a grandma to sweet little Maxwell, so she sent us a baby-inspired kit overflowing with sparkly papers from My Mind's Eye & Penny Lane, organza ribbons and flat-back pearls in shades of blue & pink, Martha Stewart glitter & a Quickie Glue pen, AND the adorable Winter Baby in Teacup stamp & a vinyl brag booklet from Peachy Keen Stamps (which, by the way, is offering a 10% discount throughout January!) Oh Baby!

For the cover insert, I masked the snowflake portion of the image and covered the snowflake on her cap with a Prima flower, because I want this to be a "seasonless" gift for a dear friend who has a beautiful granddaughter named Cailyn. She's already 2, but I think that Grandma Gwen might enjoy keeping some of her favorite pics of Cailyn in this to tuck into her purse! I layered some of the gorgeous DP and used some of the pearls, glitter, and organza ribbon. I'll be making a card to go with this using the unmasked image and more of the papers & embellies, so watch for that in the next couple days.

Be sure to check out the other KitCat Kittens for their baby-inspired creations!

Wishing you a 2011 filled with laughter, joy, lots of crafting, and many blessings!

Happy Easter! Kit Cat Sunday

Happy Easter! I hope you all have had a joyous Sunday reflecting on the many blessings God gives us every day! And right on schedule, it also happens to be a Kit Cat Sunday!

The warm-hearted Lorie was our hostess this month, and she sent the most wonderful kit filled with springtime colors and embellishments and super sweet Easter Basket Bunny from Peachy Keen Stamps. And she didn't just send the images, but the stamp as well! Doesn't he just have the cutest face?

My layout was based on this week's FFF sketch over at The Greeting Farm. (I know - a PK image with a TGF sketch? I'm sure some purists are shuddering. LOL!) Those who know Lorie know she loves her bling, and she didn't disappoint by including some *fabulous* green glittery cardstock! Oooo, I would love to have a pair of strappy summer sandals just like it!

She also sent iridescent rhinestones, which will see some love very soon, but for some reason the buttons called out to me, so I tied them with the ribbon and the embroidery floss in the kit. A quick Nestie tag with a computer generated sentiment, and there ya have it!

Be sure to stop over at the other Kittens' blogs - Catherine, Lorie, Jeanette, Kelly, & Michelle - to see their super-sweet creations with Lorie's kit!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a stamptacular day!
