Welcome Baby!!!

Edited to add:  So excited that this card was chosen as the winner of the "Oh Baby" challenge at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge blog - SSCB#9.    Thanks Serendipity team and to everyone who entered with their beautiful baby creations!


Hello Everyone,

I needed another baby card this week and decided to play along with a couple of challenges.  This week Cheery Lynn Designs has an "Anything Goes" challenge.  You can find the info:  HERE.  Since anything goes I decided to play with my favorite French Scalloped Flair stackers  and French Flair Stackers from Cheery Lynn for my baby card.

Serendipity Stamps is also hosting an "Oh baby" challenge:  HERE.  So I also reached for Serendipity Stamps "Lamb with Heart".  I love using this stamp to welcome new babies to the world!

Here is my card:

After stamping and coloring my image with Copic markers, I decided to make a border around my white mat using some pink tissue paper cut into strips.  I gathered the tissue as I glued it to the back of the panel to create this sweet ruffled edge.  I love using the tissue paper that my stamps are often delivered in to create this type of ruffle - a great way to recycle! 

Thanks for taking a look at my card!

Papertrey Ink's "Make It Monday" #23 - Pockets with edger dies

It has been a while since I completed a Make it Monday challenge over at Nichole's blog with Papertrey Ink.  Today I decided I needed to take an hour for myself to do something fun and I decided to make a card after taking a walk with my family on this very cool and overcast morning in Seattle.

Here are some pictures of the card with the edgers die pocket that I made.  It is a scallop circle card using the second smallest grand spellbinders scallop circle dies which I purchased for 40% of from Cut at Home with their monthly coupon.

The papers are from Papertrey Ink (cardstock) and Authentique (patterned papers). 

I used several PTI stamp sets:  Tiny Tags, Flower Fusion #2; and Love Lives Here.  The little bird stamp is from Inkadinkado.   Here is a picture below of the card without the tag inside the pocket: 

Here is the tag itself.  The scallop circle die for the tag is from PTI's limitless layers set as is the circle tag on top of it.

Another close up shot.

The small tag is from the Tiny Tags die set from PTI. And the edge on the pocket is from PTI's edgers #2 collection.

This is a picture of the inside of the card.

And...

This last picture is after I fixed a problem with the little bird...it had gotten bent a little when the wind blew it off the table where I was photographing it outside and some of the foam was showing in the pictures above....this was an extra photo I ran and took after I noticed...ugh - details!

That is it for today.  I am off to play with my little boy and plant some pumpkin seeds we received from a friend while my sweet hubbie rests.  Hopefully we will have pumpkins to carve in the fall.  Happy Weekend everyone!
