Simple Saturday: Marina Mist for Baby Boy

Today's Simple Saturday card was inspired by none other than YOU!  My Loyal Readers and Instagram and Facebook Followers and Friends!  I asked everyone to vote for their favorite shade of blue for a baby boy and the winner was---Marina Mist!  This color really did work perfectly and it looks great all together for the perfect baby boy shower card!

See it here:


This simple card is a single layer and I stamped a cute little teddy bear from Cookie Cutter Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set and made him hold an umbrella so I could use the "Showers of Happiness" sentiment (from the Moon Baby Stamp Set). 

I masked off all but the umbrella on a stamp that was also from the Moon Baby Stamp Set to stamp it into the bear's paw.  The hardest part of today's card---coloring in the umbrella---and even I didn't struggle here!  Haha!

I threw in a smidge of Dapper Denim, because I really liked the contrast of the deeper blue.  I also felt that it softened the Marina Mist just a touch more, to truly give it the "baby" boy feel.  A couple little Marina Mist Enamel Shapes (dots) and the card was complete.

Here's a full list of supplies I used:

It looks like a lot of "stuff" went into this card, but honestly, you could probably omit quite a bit, too.  You could do some paper-piecing to avoid coloring in the umbrella, you could merely fussy-cut the banner edges and the bow tie for your bear---there really are many ways to cut down on some of the supplies I used to make this card even easier.

Have a great Saturday!  Today is wedding day and tomorrow is the shower!  What are your plans this weekend???

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE.  I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!"  I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not."  Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one.  Don't give up coffee.  And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish.  We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do.  Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night.  I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch.  Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either.  So I already

Lent 2020: Days Nine-Thirteen

Hahah.  I am realllllllly good at sticking to my Daily Gratitude Posts.  {Insert Eye Roll Here}.  Well, I guess I can blame life, sicknesses, etc., but the reality is---I haven't been sticking to my Lenten Commitment of being Intentional.  But, let's forget the past and just start moving forward, right? Day Nine: Thursday was a rough day.  HJ was still sick-ish.  I started having the WORST sinus pressure.  I had a horrible headache.  I was out of ibuprofen for myself and I really didn't feel like going anywhere, despite the fact that I was beginning to get a little stir-crazy.  But, then I remembered how incredible Target Pick-Up is!  Just click, add to cart, checkout, boom.  Less than two hours later, I get a notification that my order is ready and I drive myself (and my sick kid) to a parking spot, GPS notifies Target of my arrival, and check---I have a bottle of ibuprofen and Advil Sinus meds in my hands and I'm back on my way home to my couch and snuggles withou
