Baby Cards with Atlantic Hearts

Sometimes a sketch is so versatile, yet so simple to use you gotta make more than one card...

I started out making simple and quick baby cards using this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge card sketch, I was just gonna make one...then I found these little 2x2 blocks (the good things quote, BABY blocks, and the smaller "to the moon") in my Simple Stories 6x6 pad, so I was gonna make three. I was done in like 10 minutes. I did not feel creatively fulfilled - that was too easy! I made another with the teensy baby pictures. And another where I trimmed out the baby Banner from a border page. Now I'm 5 cards in and 20 minutes down, and just getting started.

So I flipped that cute sketch on it's side. Grabbed this focal point from the pile of double sided scraps and did some fussy trimming. All the buttons and doo-dads for all six cards came from a bowl of random goodness where I toss things I'm too lazy to put away to save for later just in case I need a bit of something.

I used the same washi tape on all six cards, and a bit of stardust glitter gel.  I even added coordinating banner strips and washi tape to the inside of each card! I'm linking these up to the Heart 2 Heart No Stamping Challenge...'cause Six cards, 30 minutes, no stamping at all.

When a sketch is good, it's good. Hop over to Atlantic Hearts and play along. This sketch would be awesome for mass producing holiday cards!

I'm back! It was the last day of school...

so, of course, Gabe and I had to do some stamping. Gabe traced some nice thank you notes for his teachers and stamped some trains. I whipped up these sweet photo albums with the adorable Animal Cookies papers and the Family Ties - Children stamp set. I love those little stick figure kiddos! Ben was stamping stick figure babies on copy paper while Gabe and I made our project. We also used the Classmates alphabet to add the Teach title/subtitles. School's out for summer!
