Oh how long it has been since I inked Alexa’s Set ?! TOO LONG.
I wanted to create a fun and funky card with my new Mini Build A Tag. It was the PERFECT set to go with my Groovy Girl Alexa! ( I honestly would LOVE to have the Groovy Girl line to carry a doll in honor of Alexa! I swear SOMEDAY I will get that to happen!!( PS if you are from that line at Manhattan Toys and some how find this CALL ME! LOL! I swear my daughter has the largest collection of any girl! She has been collecting them since 14 mos old, and play with EVERY SINGLE ONE EVERYDAY!!!! You would buy an Alexa Groovy Girl wouldn’t you?? That would be her dream come true!)
I made this image to look like a clothing tag you would find on some clothing. I love all the little details on this using the images from that set. Just so perfectly cute. I have seen other people do more shabby chic stuff or vintagey stuff with the set, but I wanted to FUNKTIFY it! LOL! Mission accomplished 😀
The colors were pulled from my American Crafts ribbon 😀 Love it
SOOOOO-I had to use it for this weeks card sketch (WARNING it is a challenge!!) but that is the POINT 😀
Click to enlarge, and feel free to MIX it up! DONT BE AFRAID!
If you try the sketch, just send us all a link here so we can see your take 😀
This was ANOTHER pool side sketch!! LOVE that pool time. Speaking of pool and Alexa-while at swim classes Wed. night she was “swimming on her own, and went RIGHT UNDER the water (by accident) I almost had a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She popped right back up, spit out the gallon of water that she chugged, and just kept swimming. One of the other mom’s asked me if “I” was OK. She said my face was priceless and I turned pale white. I of course wasn’t, but Alexa was, so I sucked it up. OYE! That girl is definitely going to be what KILLS me someday. No one else in the world has ever put my heart through so much! GESH!
SUPER DUPER NEWS: Alexa’s set is now back up for sale!! YIPPEE!!! If you don’t know about this set here is a little info:

Hi Lauren,
I haven’t had the internet for a few weeks so I haven’t been able to read ur blog til a few days ago! (You probably didn’t even notice, lol! You have so many visitors all the time!)
I was having internet/blog withdrawals SERIOUSLY!!! Because I work as a contractor for the Army, and blogs and social networking sites are blocked!
But I am back, and here to say what a beautiful card & nice sketch. Wish I could play along but really I have to look at this stuff from my T-Mobile Sidekick, so it’s hard to take pics & upload them (the quality of photos r bad using this thing!)
Anyway, now I have written a book in ur comments… I am goin 2 close this 4 now.
Wishing u blessings,
Angie

Great card. I have never heard of the groovy gils until I read it on your blog. Of course, I do not have girls.
The card is so cute and you did a great job making it funky.
I hope I get the chance to play along.
I tell you kids have a way of ripping your heart out, more than once. My two boys seem to do that to me everyday.
super cute! I cant wait to try out this sketch!
This is super cute! I love the Alexa set! I’m going to have to buy that! And I hope that Groovy Girls does have an Alexa doll, I’d buy it! Hugs!
I loved this sketch! Here’s what I came up with: http://tanyastampsnthings.blogspot.com/2008/07/purple-green.html
This card is so beautiful! I luv the swimming story & how true is that, but especially for you with all that you & Alexa have gone through. That must have scared you to death!!! kids are not bothered by anything much & bounce back so well.
Hi Lauren,
Hope you had a good weekend. I read you got to visit friends too. Here is to another great sketch.

Hi Lauren,
I love your blog and I found it about 2 months when I began stamping and paper crafting, I read your families story and I was in tears! I am a mother and just cannot fathom what you and your family have been through. I thought I had it rough having a preemie. I would love to purchase this set! Please let me know how I can do that.
Thank you and God Bless You!
Hugs,
Stephenie
P.S. I love your cards and creations, so very beautiful! Gives me so much hope for myself.
