Another Baby Card

I got an email from a friend today reminding me about a swap I had joined while in CA. OOPS! I had totally forgotten! I needed to make 10 cards using SU materials. Luckily, they are not due (yet!) so I had time to knock them out today! I have to thank Chris for the inspiration...I CASED this card from her! So here it is, and it's another baby card! (what is it with the babies on the brain??!!??)
I know this looks REALLY pink, but I actually used Groovy Guava Textured card stock and DSP. The lighter card stock is actually Blush Blossom. I was surprised by how well it went with the lighter stripes in the DSP.

I used Certainly Celery ribbon and ink and green beads on the scallop (Marvy-pink one).
The ribbon at the top is Groovy Guava with the stitching removed. The polka dots are from my Three for You punch box (stamped with Groovy Guava ink) and the moon image is from So Many Scallops. This is just a basic pocket card. You can find instructions here.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you like the cards!

Hugs,

Babies, Babies, Babies

I have not posted anything in a while...Today's thought is...BABIES! It just occurred to me that there has been a lot of talk lately about babies! My cousin is due in a couple of months, a friend is having twins; the topic has come up whether or not I will be adding to my brood (and when!)...Just seems like a lot of baby talk lately! So I got on Splitcoast today and realized I had not yet done a card using the Chalkboard technique.

So, I take a look at my stamp collection and after noticing my lack of bold images I fall upon Wild About You. I don't use this set near as often as I should and I thought-"Hey, let's use this." I decided to go with a baby theme. I did a pink elephant and a blue giraffe. I guess they turned out alright...it appears I wasn't as inspired as I thought I was! LOL

So here's the deets: Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue DSP matched with Close to Cocoa and Whisper White card stock. Added some green beads and Certainly Celery ink to the giraffe card; Taffeta ribbon, gingham ribbon to the elephant card. Polka dots were done with a versamarker, white gel pen accents. That's about it!

Hope one of you out there gets inspired to make something for a new little someone!

Hugs,
