Baby Boy Card

One of my coworkers had a baby shower this weekend.  She is a soon-to-be first time mama of a little boy.  She is also super creative so I knew I had to make an extra special card for her.

I love, love, love interactive fun cards.  I used the Lawn Fawn scallop box card pop-up die to make this.

I'm adding it to the Lawnfawnatic blog's 'cards for guys' challenge, too.  'Cuz baby boys count, too, right??

Baby Boy Congrats Card

Awwww...there have been a lot of new babies and expectant moms at my work.  (I guess that's to be expected when you're a preschool teacher!)  I made this card to have on hand for the next one.  :)

I'm entering this in the MFT Stamps sketch challenge #404.  I used some MFT oldies, but goodies for this.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's a Boy!

It's been a little quiet over yonder.  I've been busy being a taxi driver for my kiddos as our typical fall insanity kicks into gear - soccer, hockey...games, practices...school events...No doubt many of you know the drill.

I've been working on a Halloween mini album, but in the mean time I've decided I'm a little tired of orange and black (say it isn't so!).  Neatening up my studio I found a stamp that I haven't used in ages.  I also discovered the trick to embossing with my woodgrain embossing folder without the paper tearing (Top Tip:  spray with a light mist then emboss).  All of this coupled with me wanting to add a little extra for one of my customers resulted in this little It's a Boy gift tag.

I hope she likes it!

Oh, Baby!

We have a new baby in the family!  My husbands' cousin's son and his wife (what is that?  Second cousin??) just had a bouncing baby boy.

 It's hard to believe my three kiddos were once such tiny little bundles.  He is so dang cute.  :)

I made a couple of cards - one for the proud grandma and one for the new parents.

 

I love Grandma's card.  I have a thing for yellow, black and white together - just works for me. Especially with that bit of gingham ribbon.

 

This little onesie stamp is so cute too.  I stamped the background and then stamped it again on patterned paper and cut it out.  A few pop dots on the back lift it up off the base.

Only two days left until summer break starts for us - yay!
