Baby, Baby,Baby

My girlfriend had a baby May 21 & I had offered to make up some birth announcements for her - thankfully I took the stuff to make them to my mom's the weekend before he was born & my mom cracked the whip so they were pretty much done (WHEW) I saved the post until after she received them in the mail.

The image is a snag 'em stamp from Imaginisce that I picked up at Scrapbookers Paradise north (thanks Kate!!) The cardbase is certainly celery layered with So Saffron embossed with swiss dots (as you can tell we didn't know if she was having a boy or girl!) The sentiment is from SU's short & sweet set - love that set!

The images are cut with nesties & layered then I added some ds paper from SU and So Saffron ribbon with 3 green rhinestones.

I decorated the inside with a stamp from Imaginisce which was perfect & decorated the corners with more SU ds paper (from sale-a-bration this year)

I haven't visited them yet, she lives about 1.5 hrs away & as soon as she feels up to it I am off on a road trip to see her & meet Matthew- I am really excited!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day

Sweet Tweet

When I saw this little Birdie from Imaginisce's new line Twitterpated I knew I HAD to have him - he is so darn cute!!

I stamped him on Gina K 80lb Pure Luxury cs with Palette black ink and coloured him in with my copics; the colour choice was easy because I was using Imaginisce's DS paper Twitterpated, Mushroom Fancy to go with him. I am so happy the paper actually works really well with SU's So Saffron, Riding Hood Red and Tangerine Tango. I was shocked when I realized how little of the Tangerine Tango I used; I love orange on cards so why has it been neglected?!

Anyways, birdie was cut out with my nesties and then I outlined the image with my Atyou Spica in black to give it a bit more definition. The sentiment so tweet is also from Imaginisce and again I went over the words with the Atyou pen. To give his beak some shine I added a little of SU's crystal effects. Then I FINALLY used some of my tangerine ribbon (again why has it been neglected?!)

Again I have to say thanks to Gloria over at Scrapbooker's Paradise north she showed me the new Imaginisce line as soon as it arrived

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day -
