Surprise, Jessica!

Surprise, Jessica!

Were having a shower for you today!

Jessica Davis, of The Paper Parade, is having a baby boy very very soon.  Jessica is one of the 12 of The 12 Kits of Occasions and we are hosting a shower for her today starting at The 12 Kits of Occasions blog.  We know that you must be so excited for your first child and we are so excited for you.

We have some shower snacks...

A cake...

and lots of cards...

I used the baby sentiment from Fresh Squeezed Stamps Subway Series: Occasions as the focal point of my card. I clear embossed it and topped it with a blue baby onesie from String Me Along and a cute happy face from The Envelope Please.

Join me over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog today for the beginning of this very special surprise baby shower blog hop and send some good wishes to Jessica along the way.

CCC #62 and Seize the Birthday

Time for this week's CASology Cue Card, this week's cue is:

There are so many stamp companies right now that have great arrow stamps and I realized when I made my card for this week I don't really have many.  So I did a bit of shopping first in my own stash and then online, soon I will be overrun, but for today's post I used this sweet perfectly sized arrows from Fresh Squeezed Stamps for an easy gender non-specific birthday card!

I am also submitting this card to the current Seize the Birthday challenge.

Head on over to CASology today to learn what the 'cue card' means to you, how you can play along and see the all the cards created by the Design Team to inspire you.

Handle with Care

It's my turn to share a project on the Fresh Squeezed Stamp blog today.

I created a new baby card using that adorable onesie from the String Me Along with some supporting sentiments and an image from The Envelope Please.  The happy face was stamped with a darker shade of pink on the front of the onesie.

I have a new great niece, born last weekend, so this card has already has a destination.
