Friend's Blog Candy

My friend is offering a really cool blog candy. You should go check it out.

Her blog has wonderful creative ideas of what to make with stamps. She is one of the most creative people that I know. I wish I was as creative. I also wish she was still teaching scrapbook classes. The ones I made with her are the ones that are finished.

Baby cards

This card is for my friend that just had her first baby, a little girl. The numbers of girls versus boys in my group of friends is starting to balance out, but I think the boys are still winning.
I am the only one with two of the same, everyone else as one of each or just one. But we are thrilled to add another baby to the group. Even if I might not get to see this one until she is older. (They live in the California Bay area.)

Here is a expecting card that I created. It took a while to figure out a good gender neutral card to make.

Another Anniversary Card

Unfortunately, the image is not as bright as I would like and the picture doesn't show it very well. But I made this card for my in-laws. I used SU Certainly Celery card stock (CS) and ink along with Cameo Coral CS. The stamp set is also SU, Along the Shore. The image reminded me of the Outer Banks, were we go with my In-laws. (Don't ask how long they have been married, I don't know because my DH can't ever remember, and neither can his sister.)

CCBC Tuesday #12

Here is my first challege card. It is for Created by Courtney's Tuesday challenge. The challenge was to use bright colors, Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Brilliant Blue. So here is my card. I made if for my parent's 43rd anniversary. I also stamped inside the card, with the sayings "cherish" and 'celebrate". It is wonderful to say my parents have been married for 43 years and are still very much in love. I hope my boys can say the same about my husband and I in 30+ years.

Baby Shower Gift

Last weekend, I went to a very good friends baby shower. She said that she was going to do the baby's room in blue and "boy" animals. So I saw the washcloth wrap in the Stampin Up catalog and adjusted it to the colors I like and matched the washcloths that I got. The card is slightly different then the catalog one, but I think the stamp on the envelop is the cutest. I also added a hooded towel, slippers and baby wash to finish off the gift. I was too scared to make more of the wraping since I had to transport it to California on a plane.

Although I think the best part was seeing my friend glow with her pregnancy, and to see how much this baby is already loved by so many people.
