... by Pottery Barn Kids. I saw this baby bedding the other day while Bryn was flipping through their catalog. She said to me, "Isn't this cute, Mommy?" I said, "Tear that out for me, please. I'm going to make a sailboat for a card or something."
Gotta love having a daughter with an eye for design...
When I saw the green gingham on one of the sailboats, I immediately thought of Nikki Sivils My Sweet Cherry Pie line. Then I added some Henry's Brilliance, a yellow cord brad, a craft flag & Willie Bees font stamps for the number 2...
I also used a small star punch & did some machine stitching in red, just to add another color.
And here's a special birthday card for Evan who will be 8 on the day that he gets to go with his dad & Bob to his first Mizzou football game in 2 weeks...
We just gave him his ticket last weekend. He was a bit excited to say the least!
Check out this challenge on Nikki Sivils blog! The winner walks away with all of this...
I cannot say enough how CUTE that Christmas line is!
We're on our way home today! Have a GREAT weekend everyone!
LOVE the sailboat card!! The PB Kids catalog is awesome for colorful inspiration. Have a safe trip back home :)

I think that card is truly inspirational!! to take an idea from somewhere else and translate into a work of art of your own, that is simply fabulous!!!

That card is great! I love the red stitching and the sun. I guess I need to pay better attention to those pottery barn catalogues, eh? ;-)

I love pottery barn, everything about it. Explains why I am going into Interiors. The contest sounds great, I don't have any Nikki products, so going to have to look into changing that. " )

The sailboat card is ADORABLE...you are the BEST at working those Pottery Barn catalogs for ideas. The Mizzou card is also super cute. Hope you are home safe and sound!!! xoxo L
