Missed the beginning of our week of wobbles??? Check them out here - MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY

Let's get you going!

Today, I've used not one,

not two,

but three Action Wobbles on my layout!

Each one of my crazy little aviators are attached with an Action Wobble!

The whole layout jiggles and moves!

Back story to this layout:

My grandson decided, at age three, that he would "dress" as a super hero by wearing rubber kitchen gloves, swimming goggles, and training pants with white socks.

 (Wish I'd gotten those in the picture!)

The funny part was HOW LONG he remained in this get-up!

Too funny!

Back to business:

The sprinkled heat embossed "clouds" are a combination of
Stampendous

"Shabby White Embossing Powder"

and

"Detail White Embossing Powder".

I covered the little propellers with

"Detail Silver Embossing Powder".

Yes, I love to emboss!

Watch out, Lizzy!

If you hold still long enough, you could end up

"Fran'taged"!

Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think about these great new springs being available on the market!

If you made this far,
and listened to me go on about my adorable grandson,
and my even more adorable little doggy,
and are a follower or become a follower today,
 I will draw a random comment from my blog and send that person

six Action Wobble Springs!
(Please, all I ask is that you live in the US)
I'm postage poor at this point....

Next on the list is Janelle with a terrific project!!
Keep on hopping!

MY CARD:

Image by Stampendous

This card was made for a special little guy!  I baby-sat a teacher-friend's baby from the time he was just 3 months old until the school year ended when he was 15 months!  This means spending every single weekday, just the two of us, cuddling and bonding.  He was as much my "grandbaby" as my own.  Although his mother has since had a second baby, and is a stay-at-home mom, we still remain close and get together for lunches and playdates at the park.  These are truly special times.  Noah turns 3 this month, and I still can't get enough of this bright, adorable, well-behaved child!

 3 months

6 months

Now!

(Don't ask me what's with hand thing...)

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

It's time for a "Blast from the Past" with Taylored Expressions!

This month, Taylored Expressions is hosting a customer Blog Hop to feature stamps from the past releases! How fun!  Along with that, because September's theme is Birthday/Birth Day and Taylor, herself,  was due somewhere around today, we are also going with BABYcards!!! Turns out that little "Madelyn Grace" decided to make an early entrance and was born September 13th!  Congratulations,Taylor and family!

I have chosen the Apothacary Shelf for several reasons. First, I absolutely love the many options there are to decorate this little shelf! Anything you can put on a real shelf or mantle, you can add to this tiny sweetie!  Actually, it's not all that small! The length is a whole 4 inches long, and leaves plenty of room for sweet, tiny embellishments.  Taylored Expressions also has a wonderful stamp set of jars made especially for this shelf to make it uber simple to use!
Secondly, and sadly, it's the only Taylored Expressions stamp I have SO FAR!  I plan to expand my collection very soon! LOL!

Here's my card:

I didn't know if Taylor was having a Boy or a Girl, but a dear friends' daughter is expecting a little boy soon, so I decided to spell out BOY with the tiny little baby block beads I had on hand.  My DH thought the blingy chandelier too "girly" for a boy, but I explained that when it comes to newborns and new Mother's, there's never enough of the sweet, sweet bling!

The tiny crocheted doily is from Close To My Heart! They recently had a sale on some of their items, and I grabbed a few of these little darlins!

I can not resist popping out those little drawers! On the last card I made using this stamp,
(See it at    http://scrapnsurprise.blogspot.com/2011/08/flourish-challenge.html  )
 I only popped out one drawer to make it stand out. I love the way stamping these twice and popping them out makes the card that much more 3D!

Hope you enjoyed seeing this stamp "pop up" again!  I know I loved pulling it back out!

The supplies used were :
Papers; Martha Stewart, "It's a Boy"
Bling; Recollections
Doily;CTMH
Rub-on Stickers; K & Company
Clothespin; Darice

This card is entered over at The Pink Elephant ( Photo Inspiration, Crocheted doily, baby theme, etc)

JUST FOR FUN!

I made this second card just because I was having so much fun with the first!

Again, I used the Apothecary Shelf and, as you can see,

this stamp is so versatile!  You can go romantic, juvenile, or spooky!

Please check out the rest of the Hop partcipants! I know they all have some delightful new ideas for these terrific stamps!

Hey, Soul Sister!

I love this sentiment from My Favorite Things! It really says it all.  I'm all caught up in the while "vintage" look, and these doilies and sewing icons really make card making fun!
The sketch I used was from MFT, Wednesday Stamp Club, and with a bit of help from Cath over at Moxie Fab World with her Trigger Tuesday image,  I took the vintage doily with the Retro patterned paper and made this card with a heartfelt message!

 Tuesday Trigger Card from Moxie Fab
