I love making baby cards and I don't get to do them often. So what fun to actually have one of each to create in the same month. I had a great time trying to make them as special as I could.
The baby girl card was for the precious little granddaughter of my neignbors who have become such dear friends and welcomed me into their family. How lucky am I? This is their second grandchild and first girl. Their first is her brother, Merritt, who I have spoken of here and who I love almost as much as my own grandson. He has stolen my heart and so has his precious sister. They came over here when she was only a week old and I got to hold her while Mom and Dad took a break. Good thing the grandparents were gone for the evening or I would not have had that much time with her! It was so special. I am not sure what it is about holding a baby, but it is truly the most wonderful feeling in the world. I am so grateful to have been able to share in their joy and their lives.
The cutting file for this card is from Birds Cards. Her designs are detailed and cut beautifully. I use the Silver Bullet Platinum to easily cut the detail out of card stock from the Paper Temptress White Diamond and Pop Tones. The background paper is from Echo Park (I hit my neglected stash box!) and I love how it all came together.
Tried to capture the dimension of this card. The greeting and the
baby buggy are sitting atop foam squares. I used some adhesive lace to
border the buggy and make it more feminine. I really love it!
I was in a bit of a rush to make the card for the baby boy so I only have one photo - but it captures the spirit of celebration. This is for someone special who serves on the board of Oceanside Boys & Girls Club with me and he runs a local Buffalo Wings. He and his wife are expecting their first child, a precious little boy. We are all so very excited for them.
The design is from two separate designs from Miss Kate's Cuttables and her designs never disappoint. The papers are from Paper Temptress and the patterned background is from my stash. :) (can you tell I am trying to utilize what I have?? Making a concerted effort...)
