I won't be the Baby Anymore?

My daughter is expecting our first grandchild - a girl - in April. She has a dog who is going to have a very hard time adjusting!

Santino is glued to her - always in her arms or lying on her. Can't wait for him to meet the bundle of joy!

Sketch is from DCWV and I used 3 of their stacks.

I needed to make a card so pulled out this sketch from SketchNScrap



And here is my card

Yes - I broke into my stash of G45 papers and even fussy cut!! These ladies from Ladies Diary are just delightful!

Thank you for the inspiration SketchNscrap! Thank you for visiting my blog!

Hi

Time for another PPC Magazine Monday Inspiration!



Here is my card

This time I did quite a literal interpretation using some of the 6  x 6 papers I have stashed. I used watercolors to create the background. This is a perfect card to send to someone just because.

Stop by PCC every Monday for inspiration!

Handprints and Footprints

In case you have not heard me mention it, we are expecting our first grandchild in early April. I have already been completing projects for her - yes it is a girl! I saw something in the store to preserve their hand and foot prints, so grabbed my canvases and paper and made my own keepsakes.

The writing says

Someday I'll be big and gone upon my way, here's my little handprint to remind you of this day.
This precious pair of little feet, belong to someone very sweet.

Once she is here, I will add the date and other details such as her name. Once we stamp the images, I will seal it.

Thank you card

Still working on some thank you cards so I grabbed this sketch From SketchNScrap



Here is my card

Instead of banner shapes, I made tags. Sketches really help me pull a card together quickly and easily! Stop over by SketchNscrap for both card and layout sketches!

NBUS

I had a few minutes to play today and I thought of the NBUS Challenge #8 over at Darnell's blog




Besides using never before used schtuff, the challenge was to use kraft and colored pencils.

Here is my card

I used brand new colored pencils. I do not believe I have ever colored like that on kraft. I am happy with the way this sweet card came out!

Thank you for visiting! Your comments bring a smile to my face.

Thank you

NOw that the holidays are over it is time to to work on those thank you notes!

This one was sort of simple but fun! I used water color paper and created a background by painting and misting and painting and misting until I had the colors swirled around. I then die cut it.

I added paint splatters to the card background.

I love how this turned out!
