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!

Color Me Monday Card

My cousin is getting married in Jamaica next week so I needed to make her a card. Jeanette Lynton, founder of Close To My Heart, is now doing color challenges on her blog so I used last week's Color Me Monday color combination as the inspiration for my card.

My cousin isn't a real girly girly and their wedding is pretty low key so I wanted to keep the card simple but reflective of the beach wedding they are going to be having. The colors I used are Heavenly Blue, Garden Green, Desert Sand, Sorbet, and White Daisy. I am pretty pleased with how this card turned out.
Supplies Used:
Heavenly Blue Cardstock

Mojo Monday Week 85 and Animal Cookies

I absolutely love this new paper pack, Animal Cookies. I've already done the Workshop On the Go with this kit and I can't wait until Noah is a little older and I can take pictures to use in those layouts. My good friend, Angie, is having her second son in June so I needed a card to send with her baby gift. This paper was the perfect fit and I made it using the scraps from my Workshop layouts. I am thrilled with how it turned out!
