FCCB #161 - Oh Baby!

Good morning and happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend!!

Monday means another great challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut.  This week's challenge is Oh Baby!  Create any project for a new baby, just be sure to use your Cricut!!

I don't know anyone who's expecting right now, so I thought I'd make a couple simple baby cards to have on hand so I'm prepared should the need arise.

I used 9 Months and New Arrival for my onesies.  I added a little glitter to the flower on the girl onesie and to the duck on the boy onesie.

I finished each card off with twine tied through a button, and a few crystal gems.

Be sure to link up your baby projects to Fantabulous Cricut by this Sunday evening!  I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!!

Greetings!  Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start!!

Die Cuttin Divas is hosting another great challenge this week - Anything Goes!  I thought I would take this opportunity to try something I've never done before.  Have you seen some of the fabulous cascading cards out there in blogland??  There are some amazing creations out there!!

I found a great tutorial HERE and had no problems getting the card base put together.  I will admit though, once I got that complete, I was a bit overwhelmed thinking about how I was going to add on to the card.  There just seemed to be so much space to fill in!!  Here's my first attempt at a cascading card - I'm sure I'll be making another card in this style sometime!

Baby Shower Card

Happy Wednesday!  Another busy week for me, but my sweetie and I are looking forward to some relaxing lake time this weekend so we're excited about that!

The card I'm sharing today is the card I made for the baby shower we went to this past Sunday.  I wanted to make something different than a 'standard' A2 card, so I decided to go with a tri-fold shutter card to change things up a little.  I chose images that were similar to ones on the shower invitation, added some buttons, ribbon, twine bows, and there you have it.  This card came together pretty easily for me - I think I'm getting some of my crafting mojo back!!  :)

Thanks for coming by and I hope you're all having a wonderful week!
