Thank Yous…

Posted by Jen | Verve, cards, scrappy creations | Wednesday, January 20, 2010

As any mom knows, there are lots of thank yous to give out to family and friends when a little one arrives. We have been blessed with a darling little boy {good thing I’m not writing this in the middle of the night, because I am not sure what words I would have for him} and great friends and an awesome family. That being said, I have made a few thank yous and want to share those today…

This card uses a Verve sentiment paired with a bear that I cut from my Cricut…

Detail shot…

The snout was cut out of Bazzill Swiss Dotted paper and paper pieced on top of the original die cut for added detail/dimension. Also, for added detail I distressed the edges of the pattern paper and stitched the edges. For a finishing touch, I added the buttons with twine.

This second card has a floating sentiment that was die cut using the Slice machine. My sleepless brain can’t think of what this kind of card is called, so if anyone can help a girl out and clue me in again to the name, I’d appreciate it. Added detail was created by stitching the edges and adding buttons and ribbon…

I’m off to relax and hopefully get another card or two done today. See ya soon :)

    First, congratulations on your new baby boy! I know those nights are rough, but they pass quickly and he grows so fast, enjoy every minute of him, tears, screams and all. My babies are 33 and 37! Where DID the time go? And your card is really sweet. The recipient will love it.

    Hugs, Linda
