I apologize for being so MIA the past few months. We've been busy selling our wintering home in AZ and buying a new one in the same 55+ community, Trilogy of Vistancia in Peoria. Then I was kept busy finding a new live in caregiver for my aging parents so they can continue living in their home. Now I feel caught up in my personal life and ready get back to my "addiction"; STAMPING! My last post was a shower card for our Godson, Ryan and his wife Monica. Guess what? Ryan and Monica have been blessed by a healthy little girl named Rebecca Grace last week. She is very petite and delicate and absolutely beautiful and most importantly, healthy! She is a prayer answered! So of course I had to go shopping to buy her some girly clothes and needed a new baby card! I was inspired by a card posted on Pinterest by Cindy Elam, a fellow Stampin'Up! demonstrator. Please check out Cindy's blog http://heartsdelightcards.blogspot.com/2014/03/sweet-baby-girl.html! All you have to do is copy and paste her blogspot in your browser if this link doesn't work for you. This is what I came up with. One thing to note is that the banner stamp set I used is retired (oops) but you could easily substitute banners punches in Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush cardstock! (Both these cardstock colors are retiring in June so hurry and place your order for them with me!) Also, I used the gathered Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush ribbon but I think if you substitute the lace I'm listing in my supply list and dye it with your stamp pads in those colors, you'll have a beautiful alternative. I'm sad to report the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing folder is on the soon to be retired list but of course you could substitute any of the newer Embossing folders. Personally, I think the next time I make this card, I'll use the Decorative Dot Embossing Folder. It might just be even better! What could be better than a new baby born in spring! Lots of signs of spring here in the Northwoods of WI! Happy stamping! I promise I'll resume my frequent blog posts again!
