it has been awhile since I was here

good morning to all, so I will just jump right in and post my pictures....

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....

Jacob's 2nd bd card

Hi all, I am really early with Jacob's card, he turns 2 in January. He loves train and planes, dump trucks and other ground vehicles. so he is getting a little of what is liked.
This is a large 5 1/2 x  25 1/2 inch card, it folds up to 5 1/2 by 8 1/2. The paper was a great addition and background for this card, the  playtime stack from DCWV

my first shaker card

good morning to all, Mary over at cardzTV  has a new challenge, at first I wanted to make the rattle only to be able to shake but I was unable to figure it out with it being round and so small. So early this morning I was thinking how I could do it?  then it came to me...just make the entire card a shaker   for it being my first I think I did pretty good!  Hope you like it to.

Cardz TV 3-D Challenge #4 

Create a 3-D Project for a New Baby. 

 

 I do wish I would have added one more layer of foam tape to keep the beads from sticking in corners...but what is a shaker  without a few stuck?

 

2 baby cards

Hi all, over at Cardz tv Mary has a baby card challenge going on, since my nephew and his wife are expecting in Oct. I thought I would make 2 one each! they don't know the sex of the baby yet, so I did both...
 there is also a challenge over at Diva Dare...Do the Polka March Diva Dare
 so I will try to link to both...

MoJo Monday # 287

good morning to all, I am back from a wonderful weekend at my daughters... We went to meet our grandson for the first time and for his baptism on Easter Sunday.....Saturday was a lovely 50 degrees,with the sun shining brightly, Easter Sunday was windy with snow and bone chilly day. It had cleared enough for a nice ride home....
I have 2 nieces that are both due in October, so I made 2 baby cards one boy and one girl, this way I have at least one right! I used MJM for the sketch.

Kiem baby card

Good morning to all, It is snowing in central WI this morning,  had to warn my daughter of the "it is slippery out and people are not used to snow on the ground, so slow down"  I think it went in one ear and out the other....
this is for a friends new baby and I always send something for the other so they do not feel left out,

                you counted right!   and baby makes 6

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..

BBTB 2-fashion week

Hi all,  I found this challenge over at bitten by the bug 2

The challenge is to use any fashion-themed image from any Cricut cartridge and create any type of new project.

I decided to go with a baby theme and went with this cute little outfit for a girl from New Arrival.
sorry the picture is a little washed out..

iSpy Sketches #3, baby card

good morning to all, My nephew is having a little boy in June, I thought I would get a head start when I saw this sketch over at ispy sketches....
I know that it looks like the letters would be supported from the top in the sketch, but I wanted it to look as if they are supported from the bottom, much to my surprise I think it looks like wheels from a train,
thanks for looking, Carol<><

           on the inside I added the negative from the cuts
