A New Little Someone

Baby cards are so fun to make and lucky for me I have several friends having babies this summer. I made this card for a friend to give to one of her friends having a little girl. I love working with bright colors, pink and turquoise seems to be one of my most used combinations.

I used the New Arrival cartridge for the Cricut to cut out the baby outfit and hanger. I’m not sure if you can tell from the picture but I used a pop dot on the top of the outfit to give it a little dimension.

I’m here for you

I’ve had a great response for the unveiling of my blog. Thanks to all those who took a look at my first post and welcome to the newcomers.

Today’s card is one I made for a good friend who’s going thru a rough time.

I love the look of black on kraft paper. I used a stamp from Lawn Fawn’s On the Mend set. I paper pieced and colored one of the flowers and vases.

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my adventure into the blog world. I’ve been wanting to start a blog for about two years and finally ran out of excuses of why I couldn’t do it!

My first card is a Thank you card dedicated to all the wonderful blogs out there that has inspired me and helped me become a better papercrafter.  This card uses a stamp set by one of my favorite stamp companies, Papertrey Ink.
