Baby boy and baby girl cards

Wow, it gets busy with the holidays, right? I feel like I have zero time to craft unless my kids are asleep, which means that I stay up until 3 a.m. getting some 'me' time. Here are a couple of baby cards I made last night just to have on hand. These went together fast because I dug into my scrap box and used only scrap paper for these.

Baby Boy card:

Paper: Chocolate chip, Making Memories argyle, whisper white, Blissful Blue, tan from ??

Stamps: Nursery Necessities

Inks: Barely Banana, Blissful Blue, White Craft, Old Olive

Techniques: Cut out sailboat and used pop dots on each piece, large star punch for the star, hand cut the moon. The large circle is a Marvy Punch, and the water is the negative scraps from using the scallop edge punch. I was a little unhappy with how this turned out, but you get the gist, right? :)

Baby Girl Card:

Paper: Whisper White, Making Memories Pink polka dotted and square frame

Inks: Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss

Stamps: Nursery Necessities

Techniques: Scallop edge punch

Accessories: Flower button from Hobby Lobby

Yay! It worked!

OK, now for details for this card. I made these for my BF, who had her little darling on October 1st. I really love this card, I used the chick from the Nursery Necessities set, and the paper is by Making Memories. I also used the brown glitter paper and the glittered brad from Doodlebugs (LOVE their product). I used Kiwi Kiss ink, along with Pretty in Pink. The ribbon you see sticking out of the side is attached to the baby pic, and the brown card opened up to reveal the baby's stats and a poem that I made up for her. So sweet!

Baby Announcement

OK, I have tried posting this card at least 3 times, I am going to try it ONE LAST TIME and that's it...

Snow Swirled Christmas Card

I am going to post the details of this card later, my kids are beating each other.

I've envied the other stamping blogs long enough...

I am creating this blog to showcase my junk...the things that I create, which are not nearly created as often as I'd like. Also, to keep track of all of the excellent blogspots that some of you chickies have out there. I really admire a lot of you and wonder how on earth you find the time for such an extensive outpouring of creativity. Someday....
