Baby Blue

Well, since it has been a long time since I have posted, I'd better start showing you what I have been up to:

Baby shower for my ex-boss.  Her baby theme was elephants.  I cranked out 45 baby blue and light gray favor boxes (Stampin Up's Curvey Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies).  Thank you, Colleen!!!  I have fallen in live with these boxes.  They are definitely cute!

Then brought out the little elephant die from Cuttlebug.  The favors were all done rather quickly in a week.

She's Ready to Pop

I recently received a request for my "She's Ready to Pop" labels that I made for a baby shower posted at the bottom here.  So that I can find it easily next time, I thought I would post it here so you all could use it too. 

The pdf containing 9 labels. Click here to download the document.  Print it at 100% then use a 2.5" circle punch to "pop" them out and a 2.75 scallop punch for a mat.

I hurt my back the other day so am taking it easy for a couple of days. Will post the upcoming class project soon. Thank you for visiting!

Baby Bookmark

A couple of months we created a bookmark for our tea swap.

Here's my baby bookmark. The bookmark and a baby care book are gifts for a co-worker who is retiring to babysit her first grandchild.

Two Peas in a Pod

A co-worker asked me to create a card for a grandmother of twin newborns.  So I quickly created this card in a jiffy since I pretty much knew what I wanted to do:

Hand cut pod, Maple leaf punch, Cherry Lyn Designs Tropical Flourish Die, circle punches, bow punch, pearl stickers, chaulk, white pen and ink pad

Welcome Baby

I've been doing this little baby Punch Art for years.  Here is the card and envelope I created for a co-worker.  The gift card was from many of us so I included 10 pages for signing.  The gift card is inserted in to the gift card holder on the inside of the card.

I did a class years ago (preblogging).  If there is enough interest, I will do another class in the near future.

Thank you for stopping by.  I've been under the weather since Saturday, still recuperating, still feel yucky!

Baby Applique Tags

Found this applique on my desk a couple of days ago. I have no idea why I purchased them, maybe to put on on the boys' hats . . . or maybe I couldn't resist paying the price for these little cuties . . .Anyway, as soon as I saw them, I thought they would make adorable baby tags since I have 3 baby boy gifts to make:

Basic Grey paper, kraft paper, welcome baby stamps by CTMH, and BG buttons.

Too bad I didn't have more appliques to play with :o)

Welcome baby

Card to welcome a little baby girl. Paper piecing has been my style for so many years. Thought I would create this giraffe to match the babyset gift I got for her. I used a scrap piece a paper, white card, nestabilities and cuttlebug folder, balloon punchs, circle punches, and a small bud punch.

Baby Shower Invite
