Babies

Here I sit, in my crafting mess room, dreading the cleaning that needs to be done. I'm hoping a little cleaning will allow me to be better organized with my crafting endeavors for 2017.  Said cleaning also means tidying up my computer, which led to me looking at photos, specifically photos I've taken and saved for blogging.

As I mentioned in this post, several babies were due this year. I'm happy to report that all three babies arrived safely and everyone is adjusting well, except for me - live to far away to be able to scoop any of them up for cuddles and kisses. To celebrate their births, I made each a special card.

The first to arrive was Olive (love her name.) I finished the card made with her in mind, using an image from All Dressed Up (see post link above). I just needed to add her name.. Here is the finished card.

The next to be born was Olive's cousin, Otis (love his name). This time I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil -  "Hush". Here is his card.

The last card also uses an image from Mo's. This time it is Baby and Bunny. The card was made for Peyton (again, love the name) who arrived in time for Santa instead of after like expected. Here is her card (and Peyton's mom - if you are reading this post, avert your eyes immediately as I know you have not received this yet!) I am entering this in the Southern Girls challenge for Anything Goes.

I hope they enjoy them as much as I had fun creating them.

Happy birthday!

I find myself so behind on birthday cards. Shame on me.That said, I am happy to report one did get finished on time for a co-worker. Her birthday was today and here is the card I made. I think she was tickled by it and I was pleased with myself for not putting a sassy remark on the inside. I must admit that it took a great amount of self control. I consoled myself with the fact that next year she will reach a milestone birthday and can be as sassy as I want for that birthday.

The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil shop and is called Whopee 2. She's colored with Copics and mounted on Bazzil cardstock. Can't remember where the sentiment is from but it definitely works with this image.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did making.
