It's A Baby Card!

I made this card, using the Mojo Monday sketch, for a lady in my MOPS group who is having a baby in about two weeks. She's having a boy so instantly I knew that I wanted to use the blue and green pattern papers from Twitterpated. I just love that color combination of Sweet Leaf and Crystal Blue! I used the giraffe from It's A Zoo, the sentiment from Childhood, and the sweet boy from Sweet Baby. After I finished the card, it just felt a little too clean so I took the edge distresser and roughed up all the edges. I LOVE how it turned out.

Animal Cookies Layouts

In July I put Noah in our county fair's baby contest. I had always wanted to enter my child into it because it seemed like it would be so much fun. So, when I found out that I would be moving back home in time to enter, I just had to do it!

As we were waiting for the late judges to arrive, a grandma behind me was saying that there were just so many cute babies and she didn't know how they were going to pick the winners. She looked at her daughter and said, "It's a good thing this is all just for fun!" I thought to myself, "Of course I'm doing this for the fun of it, but it won't be fun unless we win!" It's a good thing Noah took the Happiest Baby award or else my pages may have turned out differently!

Another Baby Card

Shew! This is the last baby card that I'll be needing for a while, at least as far as I know. I'm preparing to do a scrapbook yard sale with my customers and friends next weekend and, as I was sorting through things, I came across a lot of leftover paper from our Cocoa Cafe promotion from at least two years ago. I loved the pink and green pages so I was inspired to use then to make this final card.

The card design is an old Mojo Monday sketch and was fairly simple. I was afraid it was going to be too simple and I wasn't going to like it but, as it turns out, this may be my favorite card out of all the ones I made. I love that it has an elegant feel to it and that made it perfect for the mommy-to-be!

Mojo Monday Week 86 and Boom Di Ada

It seems like I know 100 people having babies in the next two months so I've been needing a lot of baby cards lately. A former coworker of Isaac's is having a little girl next month and since we're going to see her tonight I needed to whip a card up for her. I'm tired of using all the typical pastels so I decided to go with an older paper pack with non-traditional baby colors and see what I could do. I rather like the final result.

I tried sponging the edges of my stamped images this time to help take away some of the blank white space and I think it looks pretty good. I like to ink my edges to give that distressed look but that was too harsh of a look for this card. The sponge gives it a nice soft look while adding some extra color. I hope she likes it!
