Baby Boy Card

I was invited to a baby shower for my daughter's best and long time friend Lia.
They have been friends since public school, they were each other's maid of honours and are now having babies!!!
I made the baby boy afghan for her in my last post "Baby Boy Afghan".
The stamps are from Recollections and the paper is old, old papers that I don't even know where they came from, lol.

After making this card, I came up with another great card idea!!!
But I didn't have enough time to create it, so we need another baby to be born so I can create it, teehee.

I hope you all have a very creative day 💗

Baby Mobile Decoration for the Baby Shower

Oh my goodness, I have so much to share with you all...this is what happens when I stop blogging for awhile.
My husband had a birthday.
I went to a crop with my friends.
My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and went away to the Bluefin Bay Resort for a week to celebrate...more on that in another post.

And I hosted a baby shower for my nephew's beautiful baby girl.

This is a mobile I made for the center of my dining room table.
I started with some small tissue paper flowers I made and I tied them off with ribbon and left the strings long.
I then tied them to the chandelier at different lengths.
I then cut circles out of light pink decorative cardstock and stamped images of baby things in pink ink:)
Here is a close up of some of the images I used.

And here is the star of the show.
Baby Celia, who is named after my husband's mom 💗

And baby Celia and I.
I kind of kept her to myself....once I have a baby in my arms, I never want to let them go.

I think the shower was a success.
Everyone enjoyed the decor, my daughter Kristy's cake (which I will share tomorrow) and my daughter Ashley's photography....which these photos are from ;)

I really need to blog more constantly...I really don't like playing catch up :)

I hope you all have a very Creative day :)

I'm a Grandma!!!

I can not tell you how happy and excited I am to not only be a grandma for the first time, but that my daughter Ashley and her handsome little guy is healthy and happy.
Baby Sawyer was born on Oct 27 weighing 8 lbs 7 ozs.
And he is perfect!!!

Isn't he the cutest!!
I don't need you to answer I know its a YES ;)

This is the first time I got to hold him.
He had my heart before I even saw him..now he has my heart for ever.
That is Tyler, his daddy, Ashley's husband standing behind me.

Here he is again...Oh there is nothing sweeter than holding a baby and taking in their baby scent.

Today being that is Halloween, we had to dress him up.
Well actually he had a few costumes...thats what happens when you are born into a family full of girls...lots of changing of outfits, teehee.
Aunty Heather designed and came up with this one.
Harry Potter never looked so cute :)
He was also dressed up as Spiderman (baby) and Superman (baby) :)

We are just over the moon happy to have this little guy in our lives and can't snuggle him enough.

I hope you all have a very creative day...now excuse me while I go and cuddle my grandson <3 p="">

The Secret is Out.

I promise this blog won't turn into a baby blog ;)
But I just had to share a couple of pictures that Kristy took for Ashley and Tyler on how they revealed the gender of their baby :)

Is it a Boy or a Girl?
They got their friends and family to guess on Social Media

Then the next day they shared with everyone what it was.
And you all know it was a Boy as I let the cat out of the bag the other day :)
Now aren't they so cute...

Yesterday my friend and I were able to get together and play in our art journals....its been forever since we got together, never mind played with our art journals :)
I will share with you soon what we created.
We still have our journaling to do.

I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

Baby Eva's name Banner

I can share with you the project I made with all those flowers and heart embellishments :)

I made a Name Banner for my nieces precious baby girl.

I am so happy with how it turned out :)

So soft and girly :)

Be prepared for a "few" photos ;)

I used pink and grey for the colours.

I dusted off my Cricut and cut out the letters from the Storybook cartridge. 

This is one of my favourite cartridges for letters :)

The swirls are from a die cut.

This is how I use my heart stick pins…which aren't really stick pins ;)

I used a 3 step punch for the butterflies.
I used the 3rd step.

The large flower came like this with the embossing, but I added some sparkle to the edges and the mini rose to the centre.
I made the smaller flowers with a punch. Inked them, formed them and added some liquid pearls to the centre of them.
i just noticed that I put one of the flowers on the wrong way…the pattern paper has texture to it, grrrrr. I may have to sneak it back and fix it….or go there with a bottle of glue…well, maybe thats a bit obsessive, lol.

But wait there is more :)
I did a video with even more detail…and a blooper, since everyone loves them so much, as I get asked to keep on sharing them.
I am not sure if I should be flattered or insulted that everyone knows more bloopers will be made, lol.
You can watch my video on my YouTube channel if you prefer.

I wasn't able to be creative today as I had to take Kristy get her hair trimmed.
Then to the bank and lastly I had a dentist appointment.
I swear looking at my dental x-rays, I don't have a tooth without a filling, lol.
When the receptionist phoned me yesterday to confirm my appointment, I was instructed to bring some crafts to share.
They enjoy seeing what I have made. The one receptionist actually attends the Scrap for Heart event as well.

I hope you all had a very creative Monday :)
