Baby Love

Hello! 

Another heart card with the Memory Box Heart Ensemble Die!

This one would work for Baby Shower or Congratulations on New Baby.

The image is a vintage printable baby, but I've almost arrived to inserting

our Little Caleb's photo!

Hopefully one of the photos we took will work much like the one above . . .

Baby Shower Card

Happy Weekend To You!

No, I haven't gotten lost . . . 

I have had myself sewing a receiving blanket and burp cloths

 for my daughter-in-law's baby shower.

I will be a first time "Grammy" before long.

Now I have the card ready, so off in the mail it goes on Monday! 

Certainly I would be at the shower myself, however, 

we are in Minnesota and they are in Arkansas . . .

I know  . . .  bummer, right!

I am not an experienced seamstress, in fact, it's been over 20 years since I've sewn anything,

 but my Mom coached me and although it's not perfect - I am pretty pleased with the results.

Here's just a corner photo of the blanket . . . 

I think the fancy stitching on my Mom's sewing machine is so cool!

Actually, I never knew sewing could be fun, too!

My Mom and have also been sewing Christmas Gifts. 

I may show you those later on . . .

That's part of the reason why I haven't been posting anything.

I have to say, I am amazed and impressed with how many different companies there are selling awesome stamps and dies.

My new found interest in blogging has certainly sent me on a path of seeing 

multitudes of awesome cards that you all have made!

Then, of course, I am so impressed with the stamps and dies you've used,

 I've had to find out where to get them!

 Dangerous!!! I will need another job if I don't tow the mark!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Giraffe Baby Card

Hello, Long time no see!

Well, this past weekend I found the instructions for this cute punch card here.

Normally, I do not do cards that I call "24 hour cards" because of all the 

tedious little multiple tasks and tiny pieces to achieve the end results.

However, not only is this giraffe absolutely adorable,

(Thank you, Kellie, for the excellent instructions),

I have a particularly important reason for making this card.

Our son and daughter-in-law will be having our first grandchild
about December 11,

it will be a surprise as to whether the baby is
a boy or a girl (so no pink or blue).

Our son asked us if we wanted to make any bets as to
whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

My answer was "Boy!", my husbands answer was "Yes!"

Smarty Pants! It will be a boy or a girl, certainly!!!

Well, I have a financial gift to send them from our family
to help them purchase a crib.

Since they live in Arkansas and we are in Minnesota,
we won't be having a baby shower as "normal",

so this is our baby gift to them.
I thought this card a perfect one to send our gift in!

Hope your week is starting out beautifully, mine certainly is!
