Congrats on your little squirt!

I am helping to host a baby shower for a coworker tomorrow.  She is having an ocean themed nursery, so I wanted to make an ocean themed card.  This whale is from Create a Critter and the font on the front is from Life is a Beach.  I ran the background through the Spots and Dots Cuttlebug folder.

This card will be entered in the following challenges:
Jo's Scrap Shack #51--Life's a Beach

Twin giraffes

My sister's doctor told her it should be about 4-6 more weeks until the twins are born.  The nursery is decorated in a jungle theme and she does not know the genders, so I decided to make a card using giraffes in gender neutral colors.

The giraffes are from Create a Critter.  I flipped one of them using my Gypsy.  The orange rectangle was run through my Spots n Dots Cuttlebug folder.  The orange accents at the bottom were added with my iRock.  The sentiment was printed from my computer.

This card will be entered in the following challenges:

Baby Shower

My little sister is expecting twins in February and her best friend and I are throwing her shower.  Since my sister is a scrapbooker, we knew she would love home made invitations.  Since we needed around 50 of them though, we didn't want them to be too complicated.  We decided a baby bottle design would be simple enough and give us the space we needed for our information.  We used the bottle from Doodlecharms.  I changed the proportions on my Gypsy so the invites will fit in a business envelope.  I used Opposites Attract to print "Twins!" on the ring of the bottle with my Cricut markers.  The colors are a bit non-traditional, but my sister doesn't know the genders of the babies and we had access to a large quantity of free cardstock in bright colors, so we thought this would be fun and eye catching!

So Dear baby card

I decided to make a few gender-neutral baby cards, one for a baby shower tomorrow and a few extras for my stash.  The tags on this card are from Plantin Schoolbook and were run through the Swiss Dots and D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folders.  The deer is from Create a Critter.

That's what little boys are made of!

I recently made a batch of baby girl cards and needed to make some boy cards to even things out.  The sketch at Skipping Stones Design had 3 panels in it, and that made me think of the Nursery Rhyme, "Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of."  It was easy enough to find a snail and a puppy (on Create a Critter), and since it is pretty hard to find a "snip,"  I went with an insect from Doodlecharms!

Sweat Pea

I know several ladies who are pregnant (including 4 of my Scrap Girls!) and my best friend just had a baby girl, so I decided it was time to get going on some baby cards!

The brown rectangle is 2x4.75 in.  The pink rectangle is 2x3.5 in.  The bottle is from Doodlecharms.  The "Sweet Pea" embossing is from the Cuttlebug set "It's a Girl."
