Do you ever just make your own embellishments?

I do and I love it because you get to decide exactly how to do it.

And, maybe because it makes me think of something other than how many times I tortured the baby the first year of her life.  BOTH of my girls screamed bloody murder in the tub!  As you can see Carlee hated the kitchen sink too.  I tried every sponge to lay her on, every sink in the house you name it.  Now at 4 I can't get this one out of the tub!  LOL

Try not to join Carlee and cry like I did every. single. time.  I bet I can give a baby a bath faster than any of you.  LOL  Look at the tag not the screaming baby.  LOL  I loved the store bought polka dot duck.  with the beads.  I have no idea who made it or where I got it.  It was the last thing left just stuck to some plastic.  Probably MAMBI??  I wanted something to journal on, bit how many times can I say Carlee hated baths.  So I wrote down Boo for Baths!  Then cut it into a banner just by hand it's not a die or anything.  These white tags came in a Marta Stewart stamps set so I grabbed my Dots For Sure and stamped it on.  I didn't even emboss it.  [*GASP*]    Slapped on a chipboard duck from ATD, grabbed a scrap of a ribbon and a button and slapped it on the page. 

If I could start all over I would buy WAY less embellishments and way more stamps!

Don't forget ANG39 will get you this stamp for 39% off!

How easy is that?  :)

I am slightly addicted to this Waterfall Card Set from CC&M  LOL 

I stamped on every surface I could get my hands on  LOL  I embossed the mushrooms and the quote.  They are both from Because of You. 

I stamped the front of the kraft squares with Thoughts From The Past.  I stamped the back with Dots For Sure.  I sprayed the white squares with Glimmer Mist.  Then I embossed the mushrooms right on top of it!  I had never done that before and I wondered if the embossing powder would stick all over and it didn't!  It worked just fine.  The flowers are from A Moment In Time. 

This is my favorite {ippity} quote because I have a ton of Peeps in my life that make good times great times!  But I also really love the butterflies thrown in there!  Super cute!

All my {ippity} stamps are on sale for 10% off, all summer long!  While supplies last you can pick from 25 yards of twine or random {ippity} stamps.  Shipping is always on me!  :)

I have this small little additction to squares......

I love everything about them.  I love how easily they can make a card so cute!

I stamped 4 with Book It, 4 with Dots For Sure and 4 with A Bit of Burlap using 3 different colors of ColorBox ink that matched the colors in the Basic Grey paper I stamped the butterflies on.  They are from Now and Always, I embossed them with Black powder from Stampendous.  The Thanks is from Regal Greetings.  I used Chestnut Road to ink all the edges.  This card was fast and fun!
