baby

I made this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge. We had to use the Pooh and Friends cloud. Once I saw that cloud I thought... baby. I was trying to make the card look soft and wispy like clouds. There are details on the card that you can't see. Such as around the base layer is a soft baby blue inking. I also used embossing glitter to give it a shimmer. I'm really pleased how it turned out.

I been wanting to do a floating card ever since I saw it on My Craft spot. Here is a link to her video.

 I complicated it but if you follow her instructions I'm sure it will turn out. I just winged mine that is why my dimensions are weird.

Here is the inside of the card.

and the sentiment. I love this I found it from a quote book that my mom gave me. Actually from the same book that I used for the last card.

How I did it:

4 3/4 x 6 for base

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for 1st layer

3 3/4 x 3 3/4 for frame

1/2 inch all away around the frame

cloud and shadow: Pooh and Friends: 1 1/2"

star stamp: basic backgrounds: stampin up!

5 1/2 x 4 1/2 for inside layer
baby blue inking around base
white inking around 1st layer
a la mode embossing powder

layer : 5 1/4 x 4

boy pirate: b is for boy : 3 1/2

baby boy album

Wow 4 posts in a row! I must be on a roll! I have been trying really hard to complete my son's baby album before his little sister is born. I have 4 more pages to go! yay! It's a mini album with protector pages. Very simple! I just make a mat the size that it will fit, a cropped picture, embellishment, and a saying. You would think I would have been done with it by now if it is so simple.

late new years resolution

So being a 3/4 time online college student, pregnant, going to deliver a baby at the end of Feb (hopefully, she's been wanting to come earlier), and a full time mom, when do I have time to craft? Well that is my new years revolution. make a least 2 cards a week. It's going to be tough but I think I can do it. I find my self making cards at the 11th hour for a birthday, holiday, ect. My husband has been wanting me to make cards a head of time so that I will have an option of cards when the time is short. Which isn't a bad idea. So that's what I'm going to do. Sunday's are usually my card making day. I hope I can still do that when the baby is born. My sister-in-law recently got married and she asked me if I would make the guest book. She wanted a 12x12 layout with room enough to sign or do what ever she wants. Again I for got to take pictures. But that recently took up my time and I've been crocheting baby booties and a sweater for my baby to be. I did however take a picture of her card that I made her. I wanted it to be small and I actually figured out how to make it fit in a reg. business envelope. not the long ones the short letter ones. ( I don't know what they are called) I also found another picture of a project that I forgot to put up a while ago.
