Absolutely Fabulous

So, last night I spent the night at my sister's and helped her out with the baby, so FUN!! I am thoroughly exhausted, but I loved every minute of it. He really is a good baby, and only fussed one time in the night and that was about 1:30. Other than that, I had to wake him up to feed him because the dr. wants him feed every three hours. It was nice getting a little bonding time with him. What was even nicer is seeing my sister get some sleep and a shower(a long one that is)!! She is still adjusting but is doing absolutely fabulous!! This card is for her!! I used the sketch challenge on SCS today for the layout. I added tons of hardware from the pewter hardware kit and some primas, cream organdy and kraft taffeta. The paper is from K&Co. I had a hard time finding a card stock color to match until it dawned on me, duh, other side!!Don't you hate it when that happens. The main image is from Artfully Asian and the sentiment is from Absolutely Fabulous. I colored it in with markers and my aqua painter. That is all for me now, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
BTW-here are a couple of pictures of Jared. The first one is him in his carseat on the way to his first drs. appointment, the second one is my sister holding him. Ain't he CUTE!!!
stamps-Absolutely Fabulous and Artfully Asian
paper-Confetti Cream, Kraft, K&Co.
ink- Black Stazon
tools-hardware, cream organdy, kraft taffeta, aqua painter, SU markers, primas

  11. You are a wonderful sister for taking care of your nephew during the night and giving your sister the chance to take a long shower. I wish I had a sister, and if I did, I hope she'd be as sweet as you.

  15. You've got a beautiful nephew there.

    Your card is awesome. I love the colors and I have never used 2 different ribbons like that, but that makes it very stunning. A gorgeous card idea for sure. Thanks.
