O BABY BABY!

Counting my blessings when I got the news that in my circle of family and friends I had two people expecting babies in the summer! YEAH! With my "baby" turning 16 in November, and no chance in the world I would be there again (thankfully), I got extremely excited knowing that I can again, browse the baby section of the store for all sorts of goodies! I wanted to get a note out to the expecting parents - who both have a child already. In a fews days I will figure out what I can do for them since they will be BIG siblings as well!

I got this idea of the layout from Carrie Gaskin, an incredible SU! artist - she did the same type of baby card HERE. I didn't have the same stamps but it really was just the layout portion I liked the most.

Then I changed it up alittle, and put PINK with it - instead of RED.  Again, using the same layout.  I recently started using the buttons, and though it hasn't grown on me, I am still trying.



I should had added alittle bling I see!





Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Hug the ones you love!

Sewing in my world, is buttons, maybe a hemline - but nothing more then that. I can rip off stuff that I do not like - but please do ask me to put it back on!! {{wink wink}}

When Occasions Mini from SU! came out - and I saw this DSP, I had visions that I might get the sewing machine out and see what sort of sewing I could manage on the cardstock... that was quickly deflated when I learned that upon a major cleaning spree, it went to my parents house with an expression stating "I will never use this thing!". ha ha .. ok then. 

I wanted some simple, easy quick cards to drop in the mail, and thought something like this would be appreciated. Using buttons from the Candy Cane fabric (I think). I used Kraft ribbon, that actually is probly retired now, and then a jumbo eyelet with a pearl inside - as embellishments.

You're on my mind

With all the sunshine over the weekend, which melted some of the snow, it made you wish for springtime. I too am ready for all the snow to be gone and the flowers to be blooming. I swore I heard birds the other morning, and I think they are ready for the spring too!

As March approaches, I feel the need to put some of the heavy winter clothes away, the blankets that we curl under back into the closet but the reality is -- its still winter.

Todays card is the little bit of springtime I am wishing for.

Ingredients: CS: Melon, Apricot, Brocade Blue, White; Stamps: Upsy Daisy; Others: Scalloped oval punch & clear buttons with white thread, scorer

Happy Monday!
