I design personalized framed birth announcement prints and stationery. Each order is made specifically for that customer. They are a perfect gift for a new baby, baptism, or birthday. Moms will LOVE them. They are a colorful and would be a great addition to any nursery wall.Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.comBlogger40125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-3212326809464300462011-03-16T08:17:00.000-04:002011-03-16T08:20:31.247-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94fnH_kkiTffcmcfqANyNJyFkZ9wWrpCA5_MVTU7BC8ItaduP-fAQdbhnekWK-zwxQi58AV1Ro359cmRfbMFu8qD8nj7gkzeUI4-OrJ7bKfMVsljKHVz-Df39MtyDiaChgEvs_fFsby0C/s1600/paypalinvoicelogo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 101px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh94fnH_kkiTffcmcfqANyNJyFkZ9wWrpCA5_MVTU7BC8ItaduP-fAQdbhnekWK-zwxQi58AV1Ro359cmRfbMFu8qD8nj7gkzeUI4-OrJ7bKfMVsljKHVz-Df39MtyDiaChgEvs_fFsby0C/s320/paypalinvoicelogo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584651106159250706" /></a><br /><div></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-91402705811135513032009-01-22T09:19:00.005-05:002009-01-26T11:03:09.573-05:00$50 Certificate Giveaway<p align="center"><a href="http://www.bloggygiveaways.com/"><img alt="Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button" src="http://tinyurl.com/2pespy" border="0" /></a></p><br />It's time for the Winter 2009 <a href="http://www.bloggygiveaways.com/">Bloggy Giveaway</a>!

After about a year of trying to persuade my husband, I am finally pregnant. I couldn't be happier. Yes many things are going to change, but only for the better. This was not an easy decision for us. Adding another child is not something to take lightly. It all boils down to in 10-20 years would I regret not having another baby? The answer is a big YES :) So here we! I am 3 months along. The first 12 weeks were not a lot of fun. I'm not complaining, but I'm SO glad they are over. It seemed like all I did was sleep for 6 weeks straight. I can now eat food without getting sick and make it through the day without my afternoon nap. The girls couldn't be more excited. I will never forget their reaction when we told them. They couldn't believe it. They were jumping and screaming. I just wasn't sure how they would react, but luckily they couldn't be happier. 9 months will go slow for them, but it will certainly be worth the wait :) Life as we know it has defiantly changed.</span></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-27370431833252687792008-10-13T14:16:00.008-04:002008-10-13T14:26:01.343-04:00Birthday Celebration LineI want to introduce my NEW birthday invitations.

Things have been a little hectic around here. We were on vacation in Bethany Beach for a week :) We had a great time!

Madison started 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span> grade and Paige will be going to Preschool. It is sad to see them go, but it is a nice break that I think all of us need :)</span></div><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#663300;">I also have been busy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">making</span> lots of changes to my store!! I'm so excited. I have decided to start a line of standard silhouettes. My customers do like the custom silhouettes, but I thought maybe some standard ones to choose from would be good too. Many of the silhouettes are made from pictures of my girls when they were little. The one that says "Collin" was a picture of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Madi's</span> 1st steps. The one that says "Taylor Grace" is Paige. All of the silhouettes are have meaning and are very special to me. I also have just started selling some of my note cards with colored envelopes. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but could not find the right company. I finally found a company that has the Euro flap, lots of colors to choose from, quick shipping(usually <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">next day</span> and it's FREE), and the prices are affordable. The company is called</span> <a href="http://www.envelopperinc.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Envelopper</span> Inc</a><span style="color:#663300;">. I decided to get a few colors to start and see how it goes. With the new products and colored envelopes, I have been taking all new product pictures. All of this has been very time consuming, but I think well worth it :)</span></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239917489849565298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfjDmSHtM0d3lgxrBrkYrDSCvWk-9gvyoxnnE8qzL96clJd2oLnCwaO5wOP5VRSC2IPRQinjM8spi0bL1JtbF5htqmAGf4Z1dVp5GmItSOVq_0iUbWjUFQyqMmKZzboRveLi2nhTpQ0flY/s400/picsofnotecardchildrensilhouette+069.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239917750449928546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtBA00LQ_93_Q2hOTIYvR46MQrj8kBH17bgkUto6yahUmtr9t8qtSKFhp9zFk5KTpCdhEUXUzgOyaGZ8ciNi1enMm4jT50wrdPHBZnHbjtkMd4Z06hS1uXR4dNO824M97Gg6o60eozKAm/s400/picsofnotecardchildrensilhouette+092.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239917625673603234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx43lIYS9dNTDLbUdN3fdXHrTu9ac0uUQKlJZG2lrzZC7B-2vXAVGFK5jvtVudJnez67vmn6Ck4L_KXwz9q_VVJLew4vxuIFsZqO8bKJxGdGy8NpVBUA8Mzkwcnwvg1qlitTvlV2Injim7/s400/picsofnotecardchildrensilhouette+031.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#663300;">Also, Christmas is right around the corner!

Troy and I had a wonderful time. It is hard to put into words all the amazing things we saw. I have never been outside the states, so this was like a whole new world for me. Everything was so old and had so much history. In Germany the views were beautiful. Everywhere you looked you saw vineyards. They were on very steep hills that looked like they touched the sky. We walked to the top of one and the view was breathtaking. I had to keep reminding myself to stay in the moment, because I knew it would be over before I knew it :) We were treated like like Kings and Queens in Germany. We went to the best <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">restaurants</span> and everyone was so kind.</span><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><span style="color:#663300;">We did get many second glances though. Everyone knew we were Americans instantly. They said we stuck out because of how we were dressed and just how we looked. It was an uncomfortable feeling, but we felt very welcomed. </span><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224357723749408866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcjUm9wPBz9BERSiVDM_H7cLb5vgvZ9tTsdU_y-SjRVw5mc6Lb7MET8SIluPqa54LWy7cP6Pd4dePAqtbogd-vx3WmJBIuNQivH8ODEDDzNwButaBAi6RqhTSNOnb_5pZ6qndxfyMGUFm/s320/Europetrip+174.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><span style="color:#663300;">In Paris we stayed at an adorable little hotel. It was small, but perfect for us. It was nestled by a cobblestone street with little shops and cafes. We walked there to get our fresh danishes and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">croissants</span> in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">morning</span>. We walked everywhere in Paris. We saw all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">tourist</span> attraction of Paris. We saw <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Notre</span></span> Dame, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Louve</span></span>, Arc <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">de</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Triomphe</span></span>, Eiffel Tower, and more. </span><span style="color:#663300;">We didn't want to over schedule our trip. We wanted to walk and stop where ever we wanted. My favorite part of the trip was our dinner in front of the Eiffel tower. We got a pizza to go and a bottle of wine and headed for the Eiffel Tower. This was a very popular place to just sit in the grass and look at the Tower. The Eiffel Tower is amazing. I could have just stared at it for hours. We ate our pizza, drank our wine, and just gazed upon the beautiful sight. </span><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224364083001606162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEM-AAWizqbDe6iYHNh0_bV7kBYFOAa6rm2HyhT3caeDkCH5k3eVXs9FOKGoby96b7QREScmEUpxQ6b61Pf8Xj2PiMl7UXuBN4ulU3JvHGbnN8B5tnuQcz4J_jT-qtDlk7bAzde00nFvon/s320/Europetrip+069.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Louve</span> is hard to put into words. The art that is in the museum is very old. We saw a hand that was from a statue that was dated 192 BC. It is so hard to believe that things from that long ago still exist. It thought this was old, but I have now learned there are items in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Louve</span> that are 3000 BC. We also were able to see the Mona Lisa and Venus <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">de</span> Milo. It was unbelievable to see such <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">important</span> parts of art history. The museum it huge. I think we walked around for 2 hours and only saw an 1/8 of the building.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224368371758739474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGe3nwr8bROaq6C1Mwj6xbazpIq0TblaT50BstqawDXErGqUD9csnIUqDakzd85lBvryWcHUJVS0n9R_AdSoNGsIkHDjpA8NvM5Ktn4CB7oiD6PR0iJMOrIZ5OSSdFtS8qG326pksGfqDW/s320/Europetrip+128.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#663300;">I was absolutely amazed by the buildings in Paris. No matter where you wandered everything was so detailed and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">extravagant</span>. The bridges and building had statues and gold everywhere. It was a beautiful city :) We felt very safe everywhere we went. Not everyone liked "Americans" but no one was out right rude to us. We got many stares and some words were lost in translation. Many of the store owners and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">restaurants</span> spoke English. Some even had an American <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">meanu</span>. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">As wonderful as the trip was, it is great to be home. I missed my girls, family, friends. I really missed my routine and that familiar feeling. It is amazing how after you are away for awhile, you appreciate what you have. I love where we live. It is nice to have new experiences and see new things, but nothing compares to home. </span></div></div></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-70876668589023216202008-07-03T06:42:00.003-04:002008-12-08T17:43:09.661-05:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioVgnTLsSzH2X8tX1QCt7t_sbNdlZg8bzex0aguEXHnVeZHN2-HHSum_AiiIBT4erTvMk1cw0xHpKa7NWFwclrBlmDQp1_k_dMl7mpozyYz0ULwhbVuKD_ve20oGMc_MjtqP_FYSRBlpjg/s1600-h/eiffel_tower_paris003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218736802709375586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioVgnTLsSzH2X8tX1QCt7t_sbNdlZg8bzex0aguEXHnVeZHN2-HHSum_AiiIBT4erTvMk1cw0xHpKa7NWFwclrBlmDQp1_k_dMl7mpozyYz0ULwhbVuKD_ve20oGMc_MjtqP_FYSRBlpjg/s320/eiffel_tower_paris003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#663300;">Au revoir</span></div><div><span style="color:#663300;">I am leaving for my trip on Monday!!!

We decided to join a pool this year! The blow up pools are just not cutting it anymore. We have only gone a few times, but the girls love it. They are learning to swim and having a great time with their friends. It gives us something to do that all of us can enjoy. They can swim and Mommy can catch a few rays ~ everyone is happy! They are finally to an age where we can do more things. We are past the baby/toddler stage. It is so nice not to worry about diaper bags, sippy cups, nap times, ect. I am really enjoying this new stage! I'm not ready to say no more babies though. I have had baby fever for a few months now. I am just enjoying my girls and whatever is meant to be will be :) </span></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-79656137764267160072008-06-09T17:44:00.002-04:002008-06-09T17:55:29.380-04:00Giveaway at Lipstick to Crayons<a href="http://www.lipsticktocrayons.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="lipstick to crayons" src="http://lipsticktocrayons.com/store%20banners/lipstick125.gif" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#663300;">I found a great blog the other day I wanted to share with everyone!

I'm going to the most romantic </span>place in the world! If you know me I'm sure you are saying~ Sure you are. But really I am! I live in PA and the farthest I've traveled is Las Vegas. That was even far for me. Before that the farthest place was New Jersey. I know this is BIG! I have always wanted to travel, it just hasn't been in the cards. College, new house, kids, things just have always come up. My husband has to travel to Germany for work. He said~ I really wish you could come, if only you had your passport. Well that's all it took. I was at the Post Office the next morning asking how quick I could get one. That is an opportunity you can not pass up. </span><br /><p><span style="color:#663300;">The passport showed up in about a week and a half. Pretty quick! So my thoughts~ we are going to Germany, how about Paris??? After lots of discussion my hubby finally agreed! So in a month I will be jet setting to EUROPE for 8 days. If you would have told me I'd be in Europe this summer, I would have said it will never happen. Just goes to show you anything can happen ;)</span></p><p><span style="color:#663300;">So now I am shopping for things to wear, practicing my French, and trying to get meds for the 8+ hour flight :) If anyone has any suggestions or tips I would love to read them. </span></p>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-69647806878102731272008-06-05T14:34:00.005-04:002008-06-05T14:39:53.627-04:00babycakes art Giveaway at Girl Indie<a href="http://www.girl-indieblog.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u99/izabegraphicdesign/blog/bbad.gif"/></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I wanted to tell everyone that Girl Indie is throwing a Birthday Bash.

I've been wanting to expand my line to include all children, not just babies. I have come up with a few ideas that would look cute in a toddler or little boy or girl's room. I still wanted to keep it a personalized print, so I did a cute design and added the name in the middle. I am going to list these as a 8x10 prints. Who doesn't LOVE things with their name on it :) I know my girls do! I am also going to make them available as note cards too! I think this would be adorable for a little boy or girl to send as thank <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">you's</span> for a birthday party or to send to say "hi" to Grandma or Grandpa. Keep checking back! I am going to be designing and listing lots of things in the next few weeks. </div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-43054150528278108552008-05-27T14:45:00.003-04:002008-12-08T17:43:11.386-05:00My little Dancers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4n2Pg1ff-bsewa3kMtRRW4UkFnI5gu2Fext9FDVhnVBM8CeNUO1yl5kxwY59ZCFytKpmmsIDzj5D-Bd3jHKG7IVV37A3D9fn3YgGNkLa1PPXyobhJ4SBVm27bRDLJgKV-aDL3IX7PWsrR/s1600-h/scan0003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205132298243747250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4n2Pg1ff-bsewa3kMtRRW4UkFnI5gu2Fext9FDVhnVBM8CeNUO1yl5kxwY59ZCFytKpmmsIDzj5D-Bd3jHKG7IVV37A3D9fn3YgGNkLa1PPXyobhJ4SBVm27bRDLJgKV-aDL3IX7PWsrR/s320/scan0003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">I just had to share a picture of my 2 little dancers! This is the first year they will be doing the dance recital together :) Madison has been doing dance for 4 years and this is Paige's 1st year. I know I will need lots of tissues that day. I get so emotional at things like this. Am I the only one? It could be a Christmas concert, preschool graduation, anything that requires them to be on stage and I'm a mess. You just some how see them in a different light. It makes you realize how much they have grown and how they don't always need Mommy holding their hand. I think it makes you fast forward to other "big moments" too~ graduation, wedding day, ect. Sometimes I just wish I could freeze time and keep them little. Time just goes too fast! </span></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-37692947597449084672008-05-20T09:24:00.005-04:002008-12-08T17:43:11.816-05:00Twins Custom Silhouette Portraits<div> I recently did a giveaway at <a href="http://pinkwithsparkles.com/">Pink With Sparkles</a>! The giveaway was for a 5x7 print ready for framing , a set of 8 Personalized <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">notecards</span>, and a set of 8 Personalized round stickers. I was very happy with the response :) I had 113 comments. <a href="http://dawn@pinkwithsparkles.com">Dawn </a>was a great help and wonderful to work with. </div><br /><div><br /></div><div> The lucky <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">winner</span> of the contest was Laura. Laura is the Mommy of 2 beautiful 15 month twin girls. She decided she wanted a custom silhouette done of her girls. I emailed her some tips on how to take a profile picture so that the silhouettes would turn out perfect. This could not have been easy, but she captured their profiles perfectly :) These silhouettes are ADORABLE!</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202455896551562818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBNjNfPdrTlX5dDl-3U74OUJyKqqhoNa2rBcaorX9f_QX_4keFwxVQ71WKhrXuLg5VEtmGLlVZfSBag87MmTe6MUJqiYZIyczN2OMqTnw2FwKiSW_Axkp-JyuAB-JM4M0TBu09w2AABj2/s320/siblingsilhouettes.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div><br /><p> I also did the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">notecards</span> and stickers for her.

She wanted her daughter's silhouette on the invite with one of my flower designs. This was my first order for anything like this, so I was unsure how they would turn out. The customer was very specific in what she wanted, so it made it much easier. Her daughter's silhouette turned out better than I could have imagined. I tried to include as many of her adorable curls as possible. Her Mom also requested a bow in her hair. I made it a different shade of pink to show more detail. The bow is too cute :) I also made her some personalized round stickers with the silhouette on them. I am really happy with how they turned out!</span> </div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-84626327540377229622008-05-05T07:55:00.005-04:002008-12-08T17:43:12.428-05:00Another Custom Bedding Design<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVj7jZm9bZWlQz5EpXdMw40AXUKzzvVMVBTiaw6lW6VAkv5AanwPF7jTob3K4PWpIpZ2F5SLA4OqH2fexUpqp5CNJM1OtGOaSraAywXcvVU5oKLmj59124e5PCfZWOLO9TYL_2KI9WrDK/s1600-h/bedding.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196862213129051890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVj7jZm9bZWlQz5EpXdMw40AXUKzzvVMVBTiaw6lW6VAkv5AanwPF7jTob3K4PWpIpZ2F5SLA4OqH2fexUpqp5CNJM1OtGOaSraAywXcvVU5oKLmj59124e5PCfZWOLO9TYL_2KI9WrDK/s320/bedding.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196862741410029314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQL_qL1H3PHQvrwADefFunLX_KTXkkLLrUloHrdCa2WymsSqMri2x96kcKVaUfBJwPDVPF5pPmVaFBZ7LmdJfnI96J9UYAV5gI0GlWkvgIsHrcHXD9s_plCY_c1byx2Sn6GTHpU_5801K/s320/flowerandbug.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">I received another request to match a new baby girl's bedding! I have always loved the Carter's line! The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">colors</span> are SO pretty. This one was much more difficult than the last one I did. For this bedding I tried to match the flowers and ladybugs as closely as I could. I think it turned out adorable :) Thank you Jenny!</span></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319694617128040757.post-83587430155844803102008-05-02T19:37:00.006-04:002008-12-08T17:43:12.708-05:00New Design<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdi76Jnve9dLmbIEgdmMKN-KSOTlGXtumrQtsL7hsDcVsm7iBaAb4CE8Fmhd0V0mUI-Cpx-Q1K31wb4SaJ9zW8kq0WwadzEDEBT4rr2HU5NCBM8zNa8iBNLt3o0ZFdRY4J50YQTWJKZCoU/s1600-h/smoothframeairplane.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195933185933123282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdi76Jnve9dLmbIEgdmMKN-KSOTlGXtumrQtsL7hsDcVsm7iBaAb4CE8Fmhd0V0mUI-Cpx-Q1K31wb4SaJ9zW8kq0WwadzEDEBT4rr2HU5NCBM8zNa8iBNLt3o0ZFdRY4J50YQTWJKZCoU/s320/smoothframeairplane.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKeYZcPu9mFPEV4GO4YXQ3x8jktEWJ_Fpc9JU_sbi0E6yEVIKonA_xo8RN5YyZW-Hm3w-89c45I3DJJG8Pt4Dr25URP-4oxM2TzJ6Xc5N4F4AJubn0TAAl2n66BfQn-PRKeJ0bH-sFa4cn/s1600-h/smoothtreebluebirds.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195929745664319170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKeYZcPu9mFPEV4GO4YXQ3x8jktEWJ_Fpc9JU_sbi0E6yEVIKonA_xo8RN5YyZW-Hm3w-89c45I3DJJG8Pt4Dr25URP-4oxM2TzJ6Xc5N4F4AJubn0TAAl2n66BfQn-PRKeJ0bH-sFa4cn/s320/smoothtreebluebirds.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">These are two of my newest prints that I have designed. I recently had 2 days of no Internet (lightning struck our line), so I used that time to come up with some new designs. I felt so lost without Internet. It was good though :) It gave me extra time to work on some new ideas I've had. I LOVE to design new prints. I try to stay simple, yet add little details that everyone will notice. I am really enjoying making the boy prints. I love the boy things like trucks and airplanes. It is a nice and welcomed change! </span></div></div>Bekkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921873483571175568noreply@blogger.com1
