Hello Baby!

I'm a little worried about posting this.... wondering if the recipient will see it here before it arrives.... but I just can't wait!  :)

My cousin had a baby and I wanted to make a card to go along with the gift that my mom and I bought for her.  She has a little owl on the nursery wall which looks so cute!  So naturally, I wanted an owl on the card!!  I based this card on a sketch (Card Pattern #95) over at Card Patterns Weekly Sketch Blog.  Here's my take on this week's sketch:



Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  Baha Breeze, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Patterned Paper:  Greenhouse Gala DSP
Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes (hello baby sentiment), Word Play (envelope)
Punches:  Two-Step Owl Punch, Scallop Trim Border
Ribbon:  Pear Pizzazz

I hope she likes it! I mailed the package across the country today (yes, I went to the Post Office 3 days before Christmas)!  I can't remember the last time I've seen her because there are so many miles between us.  So, I'm hoping it will be a nice little unexpected surprise for her!

Thanks for visiting!

Come Join the Let's Scrap Blog Hop!!


You are at Blog Hop #2 on the Let's Scrap Blog Hop!!  **Play along until May 21st!**
National Scrapbooking Day was last weekend, right?  Well not at Let's Scrap.  We are celebrating our scrapbooking ALL MONTH LONG.  We started with some great games and challenges during NSD weekend, and now we are back with the Let's Scrap Design Team Blog Hop.  Below you will find a list of those DT's who are joining us in the blog hop.  Each stop on the hop will offer you a different challenge.  Become a follower of each Design Team Member's blog and as you complete each challenge, upload your finished project to http://www.letsscrap.ning.com.   Return to each blog and make sure to leave a comment letting us know that you have completed the challenge and uploaded it to Let's Scrap.  Make sure you tag your project with the appropriate tag (you will find those instructions on each of our blogs-ie:  bloghop1, bloghop2, etc.).

Each Design Team member will randomly select a winner of a small prize for
participating.  For the ULTIMATE challenge, and for a chance to win a $50
gift certificate to A Cherry On Top http://www.acherryontop.com, complete the challenges you will find on EACH stop on the blog hop.  Make sure to tag your uploads properly so you are sure to be entered into the random drawing.

You can start anywhere along the way within this great group of blogs and
each one will link from one site to the next where you will find all the
great challenges!  And the best part is you have two complete weeks to
upload your challenge entries.  Even if you don't win the grand prize, if
you choose to complete all the challenges available, just think, you will
have 10 completed projects! 

So, here is my challenge here on Creative Chat:
1)  Use the sketch below to create a layout.
2)  Use some sort of metal embellishment on your layout.
3)  Use quotation marks on your layout.

That's it!!  **Make sure to upload your layout at Let's Scrap and tag it Bloghop2.** 

Here's the sketch (compliments of Cheri at Let's Scrap, of course!):

 
 And here's my take on this challenge:




I quoted what my son said to me in these pictures for the title and journaling.  I also used a metal charm that says "sweet" and a little safety pin on the tag.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have fun completing this challenge!  Remember to become a follower and return to leave a comment after completing each challenge.  I will randomly select a winner for my own blog to win a sweet little RAK from me (see below)!  You have until May 21st - so get hopping!


The next stop on our Blog Hop is Deb.

Baby Face

Here is another 2-page layout I did based on a sketch over at Let's Scrap.  It took me awhile to decide if I had enough small photos to work with this sketch.  Then, I had that "ah-ha" moment and pulled out Carter's baby pictures that have been sitting around for years.  This sketch was just perfect for them!  I'm hoping to use this sketch again for some photos of our trip to Hilton Head last summer!  Here's my take on this sketch and Carter's sweet little baby face.....


Supplies Used:
Cardstock, Patterned Paper & Chipboard:  TLC/Breezy Designs
Ink & Silver Charm:  CTMH
Die Cut Letters:  Cricut-Lyrical Letters Cartridge
Floss:  DMC
Other:  Ribbon, buttons

I have had this baby kit for such a long time so it was good to use some of my stash!  Looking back at the left hand side, I wish I had black & white or sepia toned photos - but..... it will have to do!  I'm just excited to get some more of his baby pictures scrapped!!

Looking forward to playing in my Scrap Room more this weekend!
Happy Scrapping!
