Diaper Cake for a friend

Hello everyone!

I've been busy busy busy! I had to make a diaper cake for a friends baby shower on Sunday, and then I am also preparing to go to BRANSON on May 12th! I am sooooo excited to be meeting just under a dozen gals from the Cricut Messageboard!

Today I wanted to show you the diaper cake I made for Josh and Aly's baby to be. I had to go with a unisex theme, because they didn't want to know what they are having. I did that with all three of mine, and guessed right EVERY TIME! hee hee! I used the cuts from Potpourri Basket and Create a Critter.



I have to admit it was a bit hard coming up with a cute cake for a unisex theme. I previously made one for my sister in law and knew she was having a girl- had a blast making that one! I have to admit, this one frustrated me A TON! I am happy with the outcome!

I hope you all like it too! Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!!! Thanks, and have a FABULOUS WEDNESDAY!

Congrats Mike and Bridget! Wedding Album...

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone had a productive Monday. I usually end up with a case of the Monday's. Then my day usually doesn't go so well. Yesterday went ok for the most part. We have a sick little baby on our hands. We were in the ER due to a very high fever. 103.8 is not good for a 9 month old. It's not good for anyone, really. But, we have her on antibiotics and such for an ear infection, thrush, and she's also fighting a virus. My poor little baby!

On a lighter note, I have a wedding album to show you that I made for a friend of ours. We decided last minute that we could go, so I made this in a few hours on Saturday before the wedding! I wish I could have done more with it, but am for the most part, satisfied with the outcome!

I used one of my newest cartridges "Give a Hoot" to make the cute little birds! I used the Potpourri Basket cartridge for the wedding rings, and the Storybook cartridge for the rest of the cuts. I loved the saying on the vellum sheet that was on the last page:

"If I had a flower for every time you made me smile, I'd be walking in an endless garden"
Author Unknown

I think it went perfect with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder I used on the Core'dinations cardstock! I think I mentioned once that Core'dinations is one of my FAVORITE cardstocks, and I am ADDICTED to it!

I used ribbon of various brands to decorate the pages that had the Stampin Up library clips, and the binder rings.

Thanks so much for looking! I love hearing what you think, good or bad! Please leave a comment, even just to tell me you looked at my blog!

Welcome Baby Elizah Rose!

Well last night baby girl Elizah Rose came into this world. I had the opportunity to make another fun baby basket! This time it was for a girl! I had more time to work on this one. I used Plantin Schoolbook and Potpourri Basket cartridges with my cricut expression. I also used 3-d embellishment stickers from It's a Girl Light Idea K&Co. and pink sweet feet from Best Occasions. I used martha stewart calla lily ribbon and also Michaels pink and brown plaid ribbon. I had lots of fun with this one and can't wait to make another!

Baby Boy Centerpiece

I am behind- almost an entire week! Sorry for the suspense everyone! I made a centerpiece yesterday for a little boy that was born yesterday. Welcome to the world Robert Michael! I made this all with the Potpourri Basket cartridge- all sized at 3 1/2". I used stickles to add a little jazz to it, and some buttons as well. It was fun to make! I need to get those wooden sticks that everyone else seems to use- I used what I had, which were straws. Mommy of the new baby loved it! I had lots of fun making it! Will definately be doing this again!
