Babies....

It has actually been several months now that a good friend had twins!

I was waiting to take them their gift because it included several dinners and

 Mom wanted to wait until she went back to work.

So after getting everything made, I made this cute card for their bundles of joy!

Enjoy!

Babies

Tis the season for babies. 

Not my own but I have friends that are having babies like crazy...must be something in the water!

The first card I made is for a dear family that lives in Wisconsin.

We don't get to see them that often but darn they are the cutest!

They just had their 4th late last month!

He is so cute and will fit just perfectly into their family.

Here is the card that I made for them.

I love using argyle for little boys!

More baby cards to come, including one for twins!

The kids are at camp all day but I am trying to get a lot of work done

since I have done little since they got home from school!

Enjoy the beginning of the week!

Welcome Sweet Baby

One of my dear friends is expecting her first baby! 

She married a little later in life and is so excited to be starting this journey! 

I made her a stack of baby thank you cards and this adorable card using Falling Leaves and of course my picket fence die! 

I love how the card turned out and I know my friend will to!

Enjoy!

Congratulations its twins

 A friend of mine asked me to make her a baby card for newborn twins.  It sounds easy of enough but I found it difficult to figure out how to include both boy and girl colors without either one of them overwhelming the other.  Well I drew my inspiration from the latest blog hop at Papertrey Ink.  Erin Lincoln in her latest pod cast talked about inspiration and if you see a card do you copy it exactly or put your own spin on it.  I found this topic intriguing because I see so many cards out there I love but do like to add more own spin.  So to make a long story short...Crazycurl made this card for the blog hop:

I loved the simplicity of her design and it got me thinking about how I could incorporate parts of her design into my own.  This is what I came up with......

Thanks Crazycurl for your inspiration!  Enjoy!

Baby...luck of the Irish

I have one more baby card to post.  This one was made especially for a bundle of joy that was born last week on St. Patrick's Day!  Addie made her grand debut on this special day for this wonderful family!  I used Argyle in the background before adding another Baby Button Bits Stamp.  This little sweet pea was filled with sweet blush buttons.  I added Luck of the Irish from an Irish set.  I love how the card turned out!  So sweet and precious like the new little bundle of joy!  Enjoy!

Baby..a new little someone

Here is another baby girl card I made this weekend.  My daughter and I hung out this afternoon and made a couple cards since the weather was slightly less than desirable!  Frustrating after spending most of the day outside yesterday!  Well we took advantage of the time and had a great time.  She made a variety of cards while I worked on some more baby cards and a couple of others.  You can't get anymore girly than this with the pink paper, button and glitter!  Baby Button Bits makes it so easy and cute!  Enjoy!

Baby-Congratulations

A friend of mine asked me to make some baby cards.  This is not something that I regularly do but baby cards are fun to make!  She requested some girl cards.  I pulled out my Baby Button Bits  and had fun putting this pink card together.  I used my Book Print Impression Plate as a background.  I love all of the texture with the ribbon, buttons and pop dots I used to pop the snail piece.  Enjoy!

Baby

 My friend that I made my baby thank you cards for has delivered her little one.  Well he is not very little, he was 10.5 pounds and a week early!  I always enjoy using any of Button Bits from Papertrey Ink.  For this card I used the Baby Button Bits.  I love the little bear for boys.  Since the cards will predominately blue, I decided to use aqua mist for my card on top of a Kraft cardstock base.  I used dark chocolate in and button, along with aqua mist ribbon and buttons with a little twine.  The bottom portion is from green boutique.  I love how this card turned out!  Congrats Dana and Carie!

Baby Thank you's

I have a friend that is having a baby boy today.  I can't wait to meet him!  He is such a lucky little boy.. he will be welcomed into a family with so much love!

When my friends have babies, I love to give them homemade thank you cards.  It is so appreciated and a well need gift!  I made two different style today.  Enjoy!
