Happy Birthday Cards

I love Changito and I love sending birthday cards!

Excuse the Pictures!

I started a Facebook page called none other than Miss Molly Creations and was asked to do Valentine Cards for a friend's little girl. These are some of the ones that I did!

Please excuse some of the bad photos...I am trying new things to get the best quality and these obviously were not good...anyone got a light tent they want to sell??

I love this dang monkey! Changito is my favorite! I also used the Stampin' Up! Sets that are some of my favorites: Loads of Love and Boatloads of Love - and the penguin is from the Holiday Mini this year I believe.

I Love This Dang Monkey!

Changito is like a Lay's potato chip...I can't use him just once!

I loved the colors so much, but I had to give it a pop with the orange!

Not much for today....just the cutie above!

Changito Goes Black!

I love this stinkin' monkey! Of course I had to use him for what other than a birthday card!!

Black and white AC Textured Cardstock, white PaperTrey Ink cardstock, AC Moore dollar spot ribbon, Changito the super cute monkey stamp by Stampendous, who is colored in with BIC Markers! Oh - and the sentiment is by me! :)

More Awesome Card Kits

Card kits I have received that I have been driving my husband crazy with because I had not used them yet!

This is the first Magnolia stamped image I have ever used!

Gotta love this stinking monkey!

I believe this may be a Whiff of Joy stamp? Look at my attempt to shade!

My second ever Magnolia image on a 5X5 card

And of course one of my new growing favorites - House Mouse!

Hug the one you are with girls!

BTW - Have you looked at the Fun-Frilled website lately?

Lots of Cards This Morning BEFORE 12:00!!

Okay this one looks odd becuase of the lighting...but they are the same cardstock!! Just different ribbon! I was feeling monochromatic like for the swap put on by my friend KAcopan - Mission Embossable...love the Cuttlebug!

Here is the second spot for the same swap...all of last years In Color Blues by SU!
Gotta love this stinking monkey!


Here he is again - I used CTMH papers...Love them!


Well of course you know who this is...found the DP in my drawer when I was cleaning...perfect use!

I am still waiting for the arrival of our second...Abby was 5 days late so if this one is anything like her sister we will see her on Sunday. Lets just hope we see her soon regardless!!

Check out our family blog (The Ritterbeck Family) for some cute pictures of my Abby

Don't forget to check out the girls of the Fun-Frilled Design Team - they are up to some great work as always!

Secrets Revealed!

It was revealed to me that my secret sister in one of the card kit thread was jguyeby - she made me an awesome card for the reveal and then I made my last card from the kit she sent (sniff, sniff)....It was great having her for a secret sister!! I have hers posted first...mine is kind of blurry so sorry!




I hope you all got a chance to bounce over to the blog of my design team Fun-Frilled and see the week's amazing cards! Please don't also forget to check out the post from Monday that is detailing some great card candy!! Here is the card that I supplied:

Don't have too much new except that I have a new card to reveal at Fun-Frilled on Tuesday and then I will be on maternity leave from there until the week of April 13th......still pregnant....still hoping to not be tomorrow....I have a huge SU! order coming this week to play with (YIPPEE!)...

I think that is it for now!! I will be posting a challenge card entry for both Rubber Bombshells and Cutesy Stampers soon....so much fun!

Card Kits

Secret Sister Card Kits for this month!! I have so much fun with these types of swaps! I am on two on SCS and these are the two most recent ones I got and the top two cards I created from them...Thank you secret sisters - you are going great!!



These two came from my mother-in-law. She also participates on swaps both locally and on SCS and she sent me two in Abby's Valentine's package - it was great! I enjoyed getting creative this week!

I have been MIA and apologize to those that were concerned...no baby yet...just an awful head cold from this crazy weather! Two weeks to go on Tuesday - which is ALSO my day to unveil my card for the Fun-Frilled Design Team I am on!! Please make sure you take a look (link is to the right) as we are having BLOG CANDY!!!!!

Nick and I went shopping this weekend and bought our double stroller...I really feel like a mom now! WE also bought some other odds and ends...just more crib sheets are left ***I think! :) Please check our family blog (link is also to the left) as Abby got her big girl bed!!

I also was able to place a nice size order from my girl Manda today as Nick got his bonus and was nice enough to share some...he readily agreed when I took him into the Coach store and showed him the diaper bag...the lady told him it was $428...he immediately responds "dollars??!!" Stamps were not that big of a deal at that point!!

And of course...the Daytona 500 was today. I am not a fan of the comments a few buttheads made about Dale Jr (Kyle I am going to throw a tantrum Bush and Brian I wreck my teammates at Talladega and now I don't have a car worth a crap Vickers) when he clearly was just trying to stay out of th grass and not ruin his car. Too bad for the other 8 drivers though. I watched for Casey Mears for Michelle, but all in all not bad, but always disappointing when rain makes the winner. Matt Kenseth is a good guy though...Yeah for him.

Hug the one you are with folks!

More Card Swaps!

This is for a card kit monthly swap I am in. KAcopan sent this month's and gave us a challenge of girly card with non-girly colors. I think I rocked this one if I do say so myself. I even used the extra card I had as an encouragement card for my boss who has been sick, but still manages to keep going...I love Talitha to death, but sometimes she needs to just stay home and get better...but her hard work ethic just won't let her.
Here are two Changito Cards I made for a swap I am in...love this stinking monkey...these are the only two stamps I have but that will change on Monday when I go to Hobby Lobby after my 36 week doctors appoinment. Who doesn't love using a coupon on their favorite thing?? These are the new BIC Mark It Markers I picked up...they are the knock off of the copics...I like them...but since I have never used copics I don't know what I am missing you could say...but I am okay with that!
