Baby Gift

My sister asked me make her a framed name collage like I did for her son Lincoln's birth. Her sister in law recently had a baby girl & she really wanted a more personal gift for her. Here is the baby's bedding and the inspiration I had to go on.

Here is the final result......

I'm pretty happy with the final result. I started with the bird paper as the base, then added the strip of  trees along the bottom. Stamped the letters on the white cardstock & matted them with different patterns from that line of paper. Added a few simple embellishments and was done in under 1 hr! Frame was purchased from Hobby Lobby in the baby decor area for about $7 this week on sale.

Ingredients:

Echo Park Paper Co.: Patterned Paper "Country Drive" line

La Petites from Hobby Lobby "Flowers Foam 3d Stickers"

Stampin Up: Letterpress alphabet stamps

Inks, Rhinestones, flower brad, 

whisper white cardstock, & craft ink

Making Memories green star clip

Misc ribbon & colored circle paper clip

Have a great day!

My Baby Girl is going to be 7!

Wow how time flies... The youngest of my two daughters will be 7 on Saturday. I can't believe how fast they grow.

Here is the Birthday Card I created for her. I am also entering it into TGF Farm Fresh Challenge blog "By The Numbers" challenge. Thought is needed to be a little glitzy, so the big "7" is covered with glitter. The image is popped up with dimensionals. I used a Copic marker on a pearl to add dimension to the cherry on the cupcake. I also added a little zig zag stich with my sewing machine.

My new Copic organizer/caddy!

 I was at Sears this weekend and found this amazing PINK tool box for around $11.00. I thought it would be perfect to store my growing Copic marker collection. Handy enough to use around home, but really handy to travel with.

Four large pockets on the front, 2 mesh grey pockets on each side

I could fit (5) 36 color Copic marker boxes along the one side, Plus had room for my airbrushing tools and misc items along the other side.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
