Baby Blessings

HELLO THURSDAY!!! Are you as excited as I am for Cricut's release of the new cartridges today?!? It's hard not to be with all the giveaways and hype! I just know I should've called in today! It's a good thing I didn't though, cause with all the cartidges being released, I'll need a second job! lol.

Anyway, I just wanted to share a quick card with you today. My friend at work asked me to make her a card for a baby shower. I finished it up last night. I have to say, I think this is the first baby card I've ever made. The nursery is pink and brown, so this is what I came up with...

I cut the card from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I knew I wanted to use this patterned paper, isn't it cute? So, while flipping through my cartridge books, I thought this card with the scallop layer would be a nice way to use the paper.

I cut "Baby Blessings" from Wild Card, as well as the envelope and liner.

This is a bad picture, but that's the inside of the card on the left, and the front of the envelope on the right. The rattle was cut from my Cricut Sampler cart I got in the mail yesterday, which I got using my Cricut Rewards points!

I hope you liked seeing my first ever baby card, and  have a great HELLO THURSDAY and upcoming weekend!

card for nephew

Just a quick post to share a card I made for my 16 year old nephew on Tuesday night. He'd had a tonsillctomy earlier that day, and wanted him to know that his Uncle and I were thinking of him.

The envelope and outside:

Overall, I was pleased with the way this card turned out. However, if I'd had more time, I would've liked to have added a little more. And, in the rush to take a picture, I neglected to get a good close-up, so some details you can't make out. I 'pop-dotted' the 'Rx', and used my beloved Turquoise Shimmerz Paint on the word 'soup' and '&'.

The inside:

 The card and envelope base are Bazzill CS. The Turquoise sentiments are

 American Crafts paper. The ice cream cone is a Thicker, American Crafts. And besides that ice cream cone, everything was cut from my Wild Card cartridge. Oh, and except 'soup' that was cut from the From My Kitchen cartridge.

I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day, I will try to post pics of the cards I made later tonight or tomorrow, as well as some updated pics of my scrap room! Thanks so much for stopping by!
