DD told me last week that several of her friends are expecting babies.  This will come in handy when she raids my stash for cards.

Here's another NBUS.  I've lost count of how many I've used this summer.  And, did you notice, I used some of that hoarded DSP! 

We have a new baby in the family.  Her name is Olivia Wren and she is my great-great niece.  I think.  I always get confused when it gets beyond the great stage.



I made a similar baby dress card about 3 years ago.  You can see that post here.

I was inspired by this card by Sherry Phipps.  The link to the template doesn't work anymore.  I found another template here.  Be forewarned.  I did not download the template since I already have one.  Sometimes these sites can add unwanted little buggies on your computer.  Make sure you have a good virus scan in operation.

A friend asked if I had any baby cards last week.  When I checked, I had one.  So it was baby card making time.  Here's one.



I used a snippet of some beautiful baby paper that a friend gave me soon after my granddaughter was born.  I think she thought I would do a scrapbook for Emmy.  She didn't know then about my hoarding tendencies for DSP!  So I only use it a little bit at a time.  I get to enjoy it longer that way. Thanks again, Karen!

I don't usually post more than once in a day, but I want to get this card in the Simon Says Challenge before it closes. You may remember from the previous post that they want us to 


See those little safety pins?  I bought them to use on baby cards.  That was about 5 years ago.  I think they must multiply because I don't remember buying that many.

Hopefully Pixie's Playground will let me back on the playground for a second time today.

Not much to put in the recipe so if you have any questions, you can email me.

Thanks for stopping in again.

Enjoy!

Today's CAS Challenge  at SCS is to do a card with a Rock & Roll theme!  I'm really out of touch with Rock & Roll music, so I was thinking I could  use the rock & roll technique for inking up a stamp.  Then our youngest daughter (Luke's Mommy) called with news from the ultrasound.  Did I tell you she was expecting in July?

Well, it really hit home that once this baby comes, we're going to be doing some rockin' & rollin'!


Can you guess what they think the ultrasound shows?  (Ruthann & Sarah, don't let on that you know, ok?)

I had some of this paper left in my stash.  I know it's not Stampin' Up! but I've gotta use what's handy.

I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, punched 2, and used my paper cutter to trim the tops off.  Then I used the 1", 3/4" & 1/2" Circle Punches for the wheels.

When my friend gave me the paper, she also gave me a sheet of decorative strips to match.  I trimmed some of those for the scallop trim and the handle.  I also cut the circles for the wheels out of the trim.  A tiny scrap of lace tucks into the carriage for a blanket.

I used the BIG GUY and the Top Note Die for the background.  The white one is trimmed at the perforations.

Then, I was really brave!  I used a Stamp & Write Marker and wrote the words to Rock-a-bye Baby on the card base.

So you see this card Rocks and Rolls!

We had a great time at Emmy's birthday party yesterday.  She loved opening presents and eating cake.  It was kind of wild with an excited 2 yr. old Birthday Girl and her 6 cousins!  But it was so much fun!

Enjoy,
