Welcome Baby

I'm back!  I've had a bit going on lately and took a little break from crafting and blogging.  But, I've had some time lately and think I'm getting back in to the swing of things.  So here I am - hopefully a bit more frequently again!

Some good friends of my sweetie and mine just had their second baby - a little girl.  We're headed to see them soon so we can meet the newest addition to their family.  So of course I had to make a card for their precious little one!

Die Cuttin Divas is having a "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!" challenge this week.  What perfect inspiration to pull out my Teddy Bear Parade cartridge!  I saw this sweet baby bear image and thought it would be great for a baby card.

Some fun pattern paper for the background, a little twine and a button and there you have it!  Thanks for stopping by to check out my creation!

FCCB 200 - Pick a Holiday

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge at FCCB!

Challenge #200: Pick a Holiday

I decided to go with an Easter card for this challenge.  I know we have St. Patty's Day right around the corner, but Easter will be here before I know it.  And since I send more Easter cards than St. Patty's Day cards I figured this would give me a chance to get a head start on my Easter cards!

I used one of the fun images on the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  This little guy reminds me of the little boy in the Christmas Story movie when he puts on the bunny pajamas his aunt made him.  That movie is one of my brother's favorites, so I'm thinking this card will be going to him and his family.  :-)

I added a little doodling and a couple of gems.  A twine bow and button and a Martha Stewart border punch finish off my card.

Join in the fun over at FCCB this week!  Link up your project for any holiday - birthdays count too!!  Remember, to qualify for the prize, you must use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.  Thanks for stopping by!
