Good morning! I was looking back through my files and discovered I had not shared this GREAT baby girl card I received in the Convention swaps with my monthly swap back in July using the Sweetest Gift stamp set, Card Base Pop 'n Cuts, and Label Pop 'n Cuts Die!
This card was created by Raedean Shibata. She always goes over the top with her fabulous swaps!
The only additions I made to this card was the "it's a girl" greeting from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and the Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, and Pink Pirouette cardstocks, 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon, Ovals Collection Framelits, and Stripes Textured Impressions Folder.
Yes, it's a great card all right. But wait! There's more! Lookie inside:
Isn't this just adorable? I love the way the curved edges of the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base add to the feminine feel of this card!
Again, my only addition is a little dab of Dazzling Diamonds!
The "congratulations . . " phrase is also from Sweetest Gift, and the label layers are from the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.
Well, I've got to get moving. I'm heading over to Jessica's this morning to spend a little time with Jaxon while Jessica takes Cohen to his first day of Kindergarten! She has to stay for an hour of Kg. Orientation. Orientation for Maddie Kate and Ava was in the evening in years past, so this new way of having the moms come the morning of the first day, stay for the first hour, then having to LEAVE their child is not something she is looking foward to! She commented: "Did the teachers get together and decide "what can we do to make the mommies cry?"
I remember Jessica's first day of school like it was yesterday, instead of 30 years ago =( ! I put her on the bus at 6:30 a.m. the first morning, then sat on my porch steps and cried with Kimberly and Troy on my lap. It was my birthday and I was 24 years old that day. I remembered thinking how could it be that I was old enough to have a child in school already? After 5 more kindergarten first days, 6 high school graduations, 4 college graduations (two more to come!), 3 weddings, and 6 grandchildren later, I still wonder how could I be old enough for all of this, but I KNOW I am exceedingly blessed!
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
