Sweet Baby Announcements

My sister just had a sweet baby girl and wanted me to make some baby announcements. I put 20 of these together and I totally lost track of how much time it took to put them all together, but they are done and she loves them so I am happy.

After I had started to make these, I realized that my cards look like a simplified version of a super cute card my friend Pam made. You should check her card out HERE.

Here is another variation that I made of the same card as we were trying to figure out exactly what my sister wanted.

The inside top of the card has a cute picture of her baby and then the bottom has all of her birth information.

Anyway, I hope you are having a sweet day!

Lucky to Have a Friend Like YOU!

That title is perfect, because I am lucky to have friends like you. I guess this is one of those last minute posts. The deadline is in less than two hours, but I made it. This card is my Let's Face it Friday Peachy Keen entry. The challenge was to use stitching (real or faux) and a Peachy Keen Face. I made another spinner card. Can I just say these things are addicting. I have ideas for several more too.

Anyway, here it is, face #1...

Turn the knob a little and you get face #2...

Spin a little more and you get the final face, face #3...

This oh so perfect sentiment is from Emma's (My Creative Time's) I Believe in Leprechaun set. All the face stamps are Peachy Keen Stamps. #1 is Wide Eyed Kids, #2 is Happy Lashes & #3 is Critter Faces. Speaking of Peachy Keen they are having a sale through midnight (March 17th) so if you have been wanting some cute Peachy stamps now is a great time to do it!!!
