NOW ON TO MY PROJECTS!

I wanted to be sure and have a boy and girl project for each of these 3 days! I have two boys and two girls so I wanted to give you a chance to see both sides :)

For this blog hop I will be focusing on two wonderful ladies! I met both of them almost 2 years ago on the same day. I was one of their Visiting Teachers for church! These two special ladies are Sherrie and Elizabeth. It works out perfect because Sherrie is due with a little boy in November and Elizabeth is due with a little girl NEXT WEEK! I am so thankful that I had the chance to meet them!

So the boy projects I made for Sherrie, and the girl projects I made for Elizabeth!

Thank you ladies for being so AWESOME!

So for my final project I have made a card for Sherrie and Elizabeth. I LOVE this cartridge, it has so many cute baby images for girls and boys. I decided that I wanted to use some cotton balls give to the card a cloud like feeling and look. So I used my two way glue pen and covered the card with it 1/3 of the card at a time and pulled apart some cotton balls and pressed them into the card. Then continued with the other portions of the card. Once the entire card was covered, I went back and pulled most of the cotton off, so I would be left with a thin layer of cotton. I then inked the edges and the cloud cut out using the ink blending tool. For the life of me I could not find any blue ink in my house... so I had to use black for Sherrie's card..sorry Sherrie. I put Stampin' Dimensionals under the die cut so it would sit up higher on the card. I really love the way they turned out! They are so cute! :)

For Sherrie:

For Elizabeth:


Supplies:
Cricut Imagine
Baby Steps Cartridge
White Cardstock
Diamond Stickles
Ink Blending tool
Distress Ink (Ranger)- Worn Lipstick
