ABC Friday Project…
Greetings from beautiful North Texas!! It’s been a while since I have been able to say that, so I figured I should probably take the opportunity to do so! This week has been absolutely gorgeous and I think that the temps even hovered around 80 degrees yesterday…which happened to be the day that I spent working and running around like a crazy woman. I went to my OB yesterday and I am right on track for a bib healthy baby boy in January. I have started to go every other week now and I am sure that baby boy del Muro {still not named} will be here before we know it. Ellie is very excited to be a big sister and we have been trying to prepare her for what babies are really like, but I am fairly certain that she has no clue what she is in for!! LOL! She said that she can’t wait for him to play the prince when she wants to play princesses. That should be amusing!
I actually have an ABC project for you this Friday! It’s not exactly something new and inventive, but I like it all the same. I came across this template a while ago, and consider it my go-to gift card holder.
I made these for the local coffee shop owner. They are made with Old Olive and Bashful Blue cardstock from SU, along with white cardstock from PTI and Basic Grey patterned paper. The coffee stamp set is Let’s Get Together from There She Goes. Finally, I added ribbon that I picked up at Target a year or so ago in their party/wedding section.
These were pretty easy to mass produce, which I normally don’t do. I just cut and prepped each of the pieces, lined ‘em up and popped it all together…viola! Well, lots to do today, so I am jetting off and will be back tomorrow for another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…and a wonderful new Designer of the Month. See ya then!!
