Make it Monday and a WINNER!

I've been so busy I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately, but then I remembered that I was remiss in posting the winner of my Anniversary Giveaway! YIKES! Without further ado:

Christy Compton Hall wins a $25 gift certificate to her choice of stamp companies listed in the original post.
Congratulations Christy!  Send me an email so I can have the GC sent directly to you! Please include your mailing address to receive the card I made too.
(Winner chosen from all eligible entries by random.org.)


This card was created for the new Make It Monday challenge that Papertrey Ink is hosting. This week it was a "go-to sentiment" card. I really enjoyed this challenge from Erin and I can't wait to make a few more of these sentiment only cards. Great idea Erin!
I used PTI's Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Stamper's select white, and kraft to create this sweet baby card.  I also used seven different stamp sets on this one! A little Argyle, Outlines Alphabet, Signature Greetings, Bitty Baby Blessings, Favor it:Baby, Night Night Moon, and Round and Round (last year's anniversary set).

The crinkle ribbon was a gift from Sherry. She makes the most beautiful colors of this stuff. This one happened to match Blueberry Sky perfectly! Thanks Sherry!

Thanks for stopping by today bloggy friends. I have been remiss in blog-hopping and promise to catch up soon! Miss you all...

Your card is fabulous. I looked at that challenge and that is as far as I got. You have rocked it. Love all the buttons and that beautiful stick pin.

This is so cute, Dana! I really like the color scheme.

Sara Mac said...

Yay for Christy!!

Dana I love the gradient color on the main sentiment. Love the buttons too, but I'm too much of a hoarder to use that many on one card. LOL!!

Christina said...

Love this, Dana! The coloring of the letters is fantastic, and all that sweet argyle is perfect for a baby card. Super sweet!

Nadine said...

And that Make It Monday card is AMAZING. I love the blues in the outline alphabet, the argyle on kraft, the sideways stamps to fit in the mat. VERY cool. Oh yes, stitching, buttons galore, seam binding, fancy pin - um, wow.

Dana, this is so stunning!! I'm positively DROOLING! It's gorgeous! I really have to try that seam binding that seems to be dominating the papercrafting world right now. It looks delicious! Hmmm... Maybe I'm hungry....

@JoyceCasaldi said...

Diane said...

Everything about this card is totally fabulous! I'm a little old to have another baby boy, but I sure would be happy to receive this card if I was!!!

Sue Ann said...

Here I am LATE to the party to celebrate this AMAZING card!!! I love the stamping on the mat stack allowing the background stamping to really shine on this fabby creation. I love that ribbon and pin ....... the outline letters ..... I still feel like I need that set ...... your one card with the black and buttons that you did earlier in the year still comes to my mind in the wee hours when I cannot sleep and I think where do I want to expand on my stamps ..... back to the card ..... the buttons YUMMY and all around a fantastic take on the challenge!!!

Vannessa said...

This is just gorgeous Dana! Love all the little special touches - the buttons, ribbon, hat pin, stitching and the shading in the sentiment!

Laurie said...
