Alexander

A quick card for friends of ours who just had their 2nd little boy. We're so excited about Alexander's birth and we can't wait to meet him. I've prescheduled this post but I can tell you that I was still really late making this card and getting it in the mail!

One stampers trash is another stampers treasure...

The other day Nancy Riley posted a few cards on her blog that weren't quite worthy of the bin but definately weren't her favourites either, well I absolutely fell in love with the black and red one in the middle, I love how she used the Scallop Square punch in combination with the circles (it drives me crazy that we don't have a punch that fits better, the 1 1/4" just doesn't sit far enough in for me...) I didn't have any of the papers or stamps that she used so I decided to CASE it using what I had.
Stamps: Bugs & Kisses
Ink: Basic Grey, Certainly Celery
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst, Very Vanilla, Tea Party DSP
Accessories: Certainly Celery 5/8" Grosgrain, 1" & 1 1/4" Circle and Scallop Square Punches

Cute as a Bug Love Notes & Gift Box

I went to a baby shower and as my gift for the mother to be I decided to make a little pack of thank you notes she can use after the baby is born and a little origami box with belly band to hold them. She knows that she's going to have a boy so I made them appropriate for a little boy.
I will get a little something else like a cute outfit for the baby to take to the hospital when she has him.
