No... I didn't have Baby yet. I just totally forgot to do my blog post yesterday!
I have a stress test today... they are going to monitor Baby's heart-rate, making sure that he/she is doing well and not stressed. Hopefully everything goes well. As frustrating waiting can be, I don't want to do/take anything that is not 'natural'.
The new challenge at Dutch Dare-Card Challenges is to make a card using buttons and bows. The prize is a super cute Penelope & Percy stamp:
I just received couple of new SU! stamps so I had to ink up this tree from Thoughts & Prayers...
Stamps: Thoughts & Prayers, Paisley BG, and Baroque Motifs (SU!)...
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, and Perfect Plum (SU!)...
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, and Perfect Plum (SU!)... Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers...
Embellishments: buttons (misc), organdy ribbon (Michael's)...
Tools: Curved Rectangle and scallop oval dies (Spellbinders Nestabilities), Scallop scissors (Fiskars), paper-piercing tools (SU!), distressing tool (SU!), sponge daubers, sewing machine...
Thanks for looking!
Monika
