I love making baby cards.  And it’s been quite a while.  So when my husband came home from work requesting two, I welcomed the task.

I pulled out one of my all-time fave baby sets, Baby Love, from the Kim Hughes Collection (previously by Cornish Heritage Farms).   (I’m crossing my fingers that Kim adds this set, or a variation of, to her Paper Smooches Kismet Collection.)

I did just a wee bit of coloring and pieced the little bundle.

On the inside, I adhered a scrap of the patterned paper and stamped the silhouette of the stork.  I stamped the image onto the front of the envelope as well.

Gotta love quick and easy.  🙂

For the second card I used the little giraffe from the same set.

I die-cut the patterned banner using My Favorite Things Mini Pennant Die-namics, handwrote the letters, added some quick coloring on the giraffe, whisked in some ground/grass with pencils, and dotted over the eyes with a clear glaze pen.

A simple finish to the inside.  🙂

I’m not sure which one I like best.  How about you?

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hello.  🙂

And #43 is Tracey of Tray’s Spot.   Congrats, Tracy!  I’ll be emailing you shortly!  🙂

Happy Birthday

I couldn’t resist this new Birthday Surprise set from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I love this flaming cupcake.  There are several other cute images as well… a little  mouse popping out of a cupcake, a bunny jumping over a lit candle in a cupcake, adorable.

After coloring the image with markers, I used a black 3-d glaze pen over the bunny’s eyes and then a clear glaze pen over the drippy parts of the candles, the buckles on the bunny’s coat and boots and the puddles of water.

I finished the inside simply by using a scrap of the patterned paper (new Max & Whiskers by Basic Grey from Jacksonbelle Embellishments).  The sentiment is from CHF’s Birthday Centers set.

I’ll be back later this afternoon to post the winner of MFT’s Best Medicine stamp set.  And tomorrow morning the previews begin of Kraftin’ Kimmie’s new May releases!  They are FUN!  🙂 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone.  🙂  I’ve switched away from the cutesy stuff for just a bit.  I have a stack of new rubber on my table that must be used.  I’m determined.  This Horse and Rider image by Cornish Heritage Farms was at the top of the pile.

Sending Love

I’ve not had much exposure to horses but I’ve always loved them.  They’re so beautiful.  And so I couldn’t resist this image. 

I kept the layout simple and decided to keep the color combo along those same lines.  I don’t often pair brown with black, but I think it works here.   The gingham paper is from “Grandma’s Christmas Soup” by Jillibean Soup.  This particular pattern is Can Beef Consomme’.  Isn’t that funny? 

I like a little thickness to my cards so the entire front panel (from the black up) is raised on dimensional boosters.

I’m off to get two kids ready for school.  They’re both complaining that they don’t want to go so I’m sure we’ll get our day off to a great start.  **eye roll** 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Happy birthday to my little guy…who isn’t so little any more.  🙁

Look Who’s Turning 10

Last night we finished most of his homework so hopefully he won’t have to spend too much time on that tonight.  I have balloons tied to the chairs, and his birthday dinner planned:  Mini (tiny) muffin-sized meatloaves (with no ketchup), Pokemon macaroni and cheese, green beans and dessert, of course.  He didn’t pick the green beans but there has to be a vegetable in there somewhere, right?  (I won’t be surprised at all if Dad comes home with a take-out bag from somewhere.  He thinks anything other than a hamburger is a waste of ground beef.  And the Pokemon mac n’ cheese?  Let’s just say that’s not his favorite either.  But when HIS birthday rolls around in a couple weeks, HE can choose what HE wants.   Part of MY entertainment for the evening is seeing if he will eat.  lol.)

I still have gifts to wrap so I better get to it.  Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
