Clearly Delightful

Notice for Maternity Leave

***SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE CURRENT POSTS***

Hello!  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Each visit and comment is truly a blessing and I am so grateful for each of you!  Thanks for sticking with me!

I just want to let you know that I will be having this baby by July 6 or 7 if he doesn't want to come sooner, and so my blog postings during July may be limited, few, or possibly non-existent.  HOWEVER, I plan on returning just as soon as I get used to 2 children in the house, LOL!  My goal is to return to regular weekly postings in August.

DON'T MISS JULY PREVIEWS from June 27-30!

I WILL be having 1 post per day from June 27-30 for the Clear Dollar Stamps July 1 releases sneak previews,  and they will be set up to post automatically, just in case I become unavailable during that time.  There is A LOT in store for you starting July 1, I sure hope you don't miss these previews as well as the other DT blogs featuring previews!

THANKS AGAIN!

Laurie

He's home!

Some of you have asked, so just a quick post to let you know we got to bring my boy home on Tuesday evening July 7!  Of course the snapshots started away.  My mom is holding him in this picture.

THANK YOU to everyone for leaving me such sweet and encouraging comments!   WOW!  I am really blessed by this blog more and more  each day!    I sure hope to have some stamping inspiration in a couple weeks for you, thank you for sticking with me!

Love you all!
Laurie

Here's my baby!

Of course, I just have to share pictures him because I think he is adorable!  I just now found out there IS internet at the hospital and I leave in the morning......  LOL.

OK, so here he is... little Wyatt.
Picture is a tad fuzzy since my husband took it with my cell phone.

And of course here is BIG SISTER with her little bro... she loves him already!  She talks about him ALL the time... and to ANYONE who will listen!

I might have to go home empty handed tomorrow and leave him in the NICU... he was 2-1/2 weeks early and just couldn't quite get all the fluid stuff out of his lungs, so they need to keep him until he can clear that up.  All other vitals on him are just perfect! 
It's just hard to see him with a feeding tube in his nose and an IV in the side of his head, not to mention that I don't get to feed him... they can't risk him taking more fluids down into the lungs.

They say this is quite normal for early boys, and some babies get over it quicker than others, so they just have to keep him until they are confident the stuff is gone.  I sure hope I can have him at home by Wednesday!

Anyway, I know this post wasn't about stamping, but he is something that will keep me stamping, so it's a little related.  Thanks for all you who have already given me well wishes, wow, it is just so sweet of you and I am touched anyone out there cares, especially people I haven't even met.  THANK YOU!!

I hope to be sharing stamping again by August, so I sure hope you'll check back then!

Stamping hugs

VEGGIE STEW
Designed by Laurie Wilson

After the Fruity Fun set from May, I just had to have a Veggie set too!   Yeah, I know, botanically speaking, a tomato and eggplant aren't considered veggies, they are fruits, however in the culinary arts, they ARE veggies due to the types of foods they compliment. I got that bit of reassurance from Wikipedia.  So this set IS accurate to the culinary artist, LOL!

Check out the other previews using this set:

TANGY TRIO
Designed by Laurie Wilson

We just have to have cherries, pears and peaches because they are so much fun!  I had to have this add-on mini set to the Fruity Fun set from May, and it actually works very well as it's own stand alone set.  You don't have to have the fruity fun set to use this set.

I used the chalkboard technique on my pear card.  The picture made the panel look black, but it is actually on chocolate chip CS.  This is my card for the DT challenge to not use ribbon, but to make it appear sort of like ribbon.  I used my sewing machine to stitch a scallop stitch down the panel and that is my "faux ribbon" on this card.

The little dots on the oval and the flower/leaves around the perimeter of the card, are from the Sassy Scallops stamp set.

The oval panel is a white SU scallop oval, and 2 Spellbinders large oval tags in which I manually trimmed one down for layering.  Here is the picture of the pieces before i stuck them together.

SUPPLIES:

• ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Tangy Trio, Sassy Scallops
• CS and PAPERS: white, banana, saffron, celery, wasabi, chocolate chip
• INK: SU white craft, garden green, certainly celery, barely banana
• ACCESS and EMBELLISHMENTS: sewing machine, Stampin' pastels, SU oval scallop punch, Spellbinders Tags 5, Cuttlebug flower dies small, SU button bouquet latte, SU dimensionals, white gel pen, sponge daubers, white micro brads
• SPECIAL TECHNIQUE: Chalkboard

I also had to do a peachy card!

SUPPLIES:

• ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Tangy Trio
• CS and PAPERS: white, celery, groovy guava, dusty durango, SU Razzleberry Lemonade
• INK: old olive, celery, groovy guava, dusty durango
• ACCESS and EMBELLISHMENTS: sewing machine, neastabilities labels 1, Su dimensionals, kiwi velvet ric-rac from www.cdstamps.com, white micro brads, sponge

One of the DT challenges was to NOT use ribbon.... talk about a challenge!  Actually, we were supposed to use other supplies to make something that appeared to be ribbon, without actually using ribbon, so this one is just not using any ribbon.  LOL  tomorrow I have a creation where I actually followed the rules!

I used the SU markers on watercolor paper and a waterbrush to color the aliens.

Motorcycle Thank You

Hey folks!   I loved Alex's colors last weekend, but didn't have a chance to play over the weekend.  I needed to make a thank you card for my neighbors who go on daily Harley rides, and these colors were perfect for the motorcycle stamp I have in Motorcycle Mania.

The colors for last weekends CDS Color Challenge over at Paper Craft Planet were Pacific Point, Summer Sun, Black and white.

I watercolored the motorcycle on watercolor paper using markers and reinkers and a waterbrush.

The black strip is stamped with the Heavy metal stamp in black pigment ink and then I heat embossed black embossing powder on those images.  I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp set.

Sewed the bottom patterned paper panel and the main panel, and then added the micro brads by Queen & Co.

SUPPLY LIST:

• ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Motorcycle mania, Words of gratitude, Heavy metal
• CS and PAPERS: watercolor, black, summer sun, pacific point, basic grey lime rickey
• INK: Brilliance black, pacific point, summer sun, basic gray, SU white, SU black, creamy caramel, ruby red
• ACCESS and EMBELLISHMENTS: black micro brads, sewing machine, waterbrush, black EP, heat tool
• COLORING MEDIUM: watercoloring on watercolor paper

Thanks so much for stopping in today! 

The end of NEXT WEEK (June 27) is sneak preview time for the July 1 releases over at CDStamps, but I likely will be back with another post before then.  I hope you found a little inspiration today, and I wish you a happy stamping week!

*****************************************

I also wanted to show you a few items that I got published in the June issue of Crafts 'n Things!  I can't list supplies, as the editor asked me to refer you to their online edition / website to get that information.

The first was an Avery product challenge, so I used the Avery postcards and made some mailable postcards with matching envelopes and a little pocket to hold them all in.  Page 84 of the magazine.

Next, I made a little coaster frame with altered coasters and I can replace the photo in there as the season changes.  Page 75 of the magazine.

And finally, this is a card I had made with my one and only Gina K stamp set that I own, and I ruffled my ribbon using my sewing machine on the edges and pulling the threads together.  Page 59 of the magazine.  HERE is the link to the project supply list.

Thanks so much for stopping in!  See you next week!
Happy stamping and many blessings!
Laurie
