Welcome Baby

Ta-da!

Look what fun Babycakes can be!

Aren't these giraffes the cutest?!

I used:

Babycakes paper packet (NEW!)
(You can order from the Fall/Winter Idea Book tomorrow, August 1st! Go HERE.)

Baker's Twine

Washi Tape

Miracle and Vintage Type stamp sets

Slate ink

Liquid Glass

I cut the flower shape from the Art Philosophy  Cricut cartridge

in 1-1/4 inch, 1 inch, and 3/4 inch, and layered them with Liquid Glass,

and added a dot of LG on the top center.

The yellow & gray strip below the washi tape 

is the zip strip from the edge of one of the patterned papers. 

It's fun to use that little coordinating element in a special way!

It's always a nice surprise to have a pop of color

inside the card too!

 Have fun with Babycakes! 

Thanks for visiting and leaving some love.

Welcome, Baby Girl!

This CAS card is for friends who welcomed their first baby--beautiful little Lillian--into the world on Monday evening.

I used Close To My Heart's "Miracle" stamp set, Blush ink pad, and tiny pink safety pins. I placed the pins so that they would form a pink heart shape.

Inside (and on the envelope) I stamped the butterfly from "Miracle" and wrote my own congratulations note.

Gingham ribbon is from my "other" stash.

Twitterpated For Baby

A friend's daughter's baby shower is coming up.

This is the card in earthy colors since they are her choice for the

"nature lover's nursery." The display album for the new little baby girl's

first year of photos will showcase these papers too,

along with rabbits, deer, owls, and more mushrooms.

I LOVE new babies! AND new grandmas too!

Thanks for taking a look!

I used:

Twitterpated papers & Stickease; CTMH inks; Liquid Glass; Sorbet ribbon

Not CTMH: MS border punch & pink paper

A Two Card Night

Elizabeth, Linda, & Sandy--Sunday scrappin' friends

This afternoon three friends came over to scrapbook and make cards. We enjoyed the leisurely day and our time spent together! Linda and Sandy made cards while Elizabeth worked on scrapbook pages. Here are two cards I made this evening using Unforgettable (happy birthday card) and Sweet Pea (baby card). The bird's body and its wing are stamped, cut, and popped up with foam squares.

I adapted ideas I found in the new Wishes book by Jeanette Lynton. What a fantastic resource!

I'd keep going with the paper, cutter, and glue, but my eyes say "rest!"

I thank the Lord for my dear friends and for the time He gives us to be together doing such a fun hobby, sharing our prayer requests, and uplifting one another!

Happy new week, and God's blessings!
