crazy weekend!

It's been a few days since I posted anything cuz it's been so crazy busy here! We had our annual tax free shopping this weekend in Texas, so the kids and I ventured out to get all the school clothes they needed! We spent 8 hours shopping...till we literally dropped! We were all soooo tired when we got home! We found everything we needed though and we had a fun day together. We only had a few hours to rest though cuz then we were getting ready for the much anticipated High School Musical 2 party!! We had 15 kids comin' to watch and sleepover! {It was a moment of insanity when I agreed to it!!} :) It was really fun and all the kids were great it's just that they stayed up ALL night long. So we spent Sat. and Sun. recuperating **Anyway...on to card stuff! This is a card I made for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. I need a few baby cards so I made this one to fit the challenge. I choose the colors using my SU color coach...I'm not sure what I think of them yet...it's not a combo I would've chosen but it is kinda growin' on me. I used the retired Baby Talk set. I love the phone cord comin' out of the stroller. I used my Cuttlebug then sponged the embossed paper with pink to soften it a bit. I added some 'bling' cuz even baby girls need bling! :) Thanks for stopping by...Have a FABULOUS week!!

It was so easy and fast. It gave me a chance to use my new Giga Scallop Square Punch! it is the coolest thing....when they say Giga, they mean Giga, the thing is HUGE!! :) I kept the card simple and used one little stamp from the Priceless set. I added a rhinestone brad and some silver cord and 'whalla'!
