cake top, corsage, shower card

this was made for a woman how will be adopting my great grandson. Daughter/granddaughter has a 18month already and cannot handle another baby on her own. So this little boy is going to a loving family and will be a blessing to them.

boy or girl, I am ready

Hello again,  when I made these cards I only had one baby in mind then an announcement over Christmas that I know of two 2016 babies, I also found out today the the pink one will be for the baby shower coming up.   I used the negative for these....

cake top, shaker card, corsage

good morning, this set is for a baby shower this weekend, Abby loves cows so I had to add this cute one into every thing. 

                                              my second shaker card

baby shower for Becky

Hi all, this morning my daughter asked me to make her a baby shower card for tomorrow....a lot of notice there!!!I went with i spy sketches, made it  square and had to make a special envelope for it because it turned out to be a 6 1/8 square card, just a little more work for me, but I got it done!!!!
I love these little feet from new arrival, no inking on this card   I wanted to keep it clean looking,  looks a bit washed out from the lighting..

Laura's baby shower card and our 1st snow!

Hi all, this is for my girlfriend who has been through breast cancer, now expecting  a baby and after she was pg found out she has liver cancer, her and baby are doing fine with chemo,
the invite had cute little baby feet on the cover so I went with that for this card, I believe this is an old mojo sketch.

 this is 1/2 hour into the snow storm that we are in, expecting 3 to 5 inches of heavy wet snow, we have a lot more now!!

, 

more snow as the day went on

it snowed all day and we got another 2 inches after this picture

baby shower

Good Morning, what a week it has been...I just have not been able to get this posted..  the baby shower was lovely, but I was so busy there that I didn't get a lot of pictures, even of Momma, Oh well, she was sitting most of the time, It cannot be easy carrying twins..this is what I did get...

                               grandma and grandpa of the twins, my sister

          and what's a baby shower without  a baby, My sister (Clara's grandma)  and  My Mom

cake top, corsage and oops!!!

I thought I had a week to finish this, but I think I a getting my husband cold so I had to hurry this up before I was not up to making anything.
 the pot will be going on the top of  my nephews wife's baby shower cake, they are expecting twins...so exciting for them and the corsage for her...
will take pictures at shower with Kelly wearing the corsage and the topper on top of the cake...

 now for the oops!!!... I was going to put these around the flower pot, but I added the shadow on each of the critters and it made them too stiff to shape around the curve of the pot., so I made the hearts and stars.
SO NEXT TIME NO SHADOW!!!

cards for twins

Good morning, I decided to take a break from the cake top that I have been making for my nephews twins
(will post when finished) to work on the cards, I got the idea from Charlene Driggs over at
paper and ink playground, she used spellbinders while I used my cricut wild card cartridge.
inking and some doodling... 

                                        yup!!! a boy and a girl

Baby shower pictures

Oh My!!! what a beautiful weekend, went by all to fast. Sarah was glowing, the weather was gorgeous, the food  was great, (I had so much help in this department!) So here are some pictures of the shower.
Sarah with her courage and the cake behind her, looks like the monkey flipped around

                                                  the reflective signs sure show up!!

the finished cake, I found these cute teething links at Shopko and thought they would look good on the cake, then she could take them home also. everyone had a great time, thanks for looking.

MoJoMonday # 132

Hi all, for you who know my blog, you know that I have been getting ready for my daughters baby shower coming up. I made this card for her and it matches the cake top, the corsage and the invitations that I have been busy making. I love it when things just fall into place. (That does not happen often for me)
I used the same papers, and since it is a boy I did not want to put ribbon on it so I added the rattle
rattle @ 1 1/4" and monkey @ 2 1/4" cut from my cricut.
Hope you like.

if you would like to see the cake top, corsage and invitations, you can find them on earlier post on this blog!
thanks for looking! Carol<><

paper from my newest collection..twinkle twinkle little boy from My Mind's Eye

this will go on the top of my daughter's baby shower cake that I will be making the end of April, but I was so excited how it turned out that I didn't want to wait for the cake. so here it is! and this is the first time I tried to make a corsage. It is tied with embroidery floss in blue.

 

was not sure how the crackle was going to look, the paint was thick and hard to work with but in the I think it worked out well.  oops, I forgot to put the little button on for the wheels. will do that later.

I added a ruler next to the corsage so you could get an idea of the size it is, 
will post picture of the cake with its top on and maybe my daughter with her corsage!
thanks for looking   Carol<><
don't know how I missed this picture, not in order but I did not want to take the chance of everything getting deleted, so here it is last. Sorry I normally don't have such long post...

baby shower

I made these for my daughters baby shower, but of course I had to wait to see if it was a girl or a boy...
I could have started, because I was right...."It's a  Boy!"
tools I used
computer for the working
rotary cutter , cuttlebug, scor-pal
Martha Stewart punch and cricut cuter for the bootie
I made 29 of these and need 4 more...
