Oh, Baby!

Hello! Today I wanted to share another baby card with you.  I used the new release, type4background from The Stamps Of Life for this one.  I have loved  creating some baby items using that type alphabet background.  I also love dying seam binding.  My stash is dwindling, so I need to make some more!

It is another HOT, HOT day here in Southwest Ohio.  My parents are taking the boys to the fair today.  It is a tradition, and the boys are super excited!  I am hoping to get caught up on some household chores while they are out.  Maybe I can fit in some cardmaking, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  Today I have a card using the new release, type4backgrounds along with an older sets, sweet4babies and banners4all from The Stamps Of Life.  I stamped the alphabet background in yellow and blue and then stamped the banners in black and cut them out.  I glued them down along with the twine to make my pennant banner.  The sentiment is stamped in black in the lower corner.  I plan on sending this to a friend who is on maternity leave with her baby boy.

I have another baby card to share with you tomorrow using some of these same sets!

Thanks for stopping by!

When you don't know what to say....

Hello! Today I am sharing a card using stamps from The Stamps Of Life new release, type4background set.  I LOVE this set.  It has a wonderful type font alphabet background (I used this for the circles behind the buttons).  It is large enough to cover an entire A2 size card!  The sentiments that go along with it are perfect for those difficult times.  Sometimes you need a card for someone going through a really rough time, and sympathy sayings just don't get it.  This set is perfect. 
I actually mailed this card to a friend recently who has had some terrible things happen in her life.  I wrote her a nice note on the inside, but sometimes it is hard to know what to say when someone is going through a rough time that you can not personally relate to. KWIM?  This sentiment is brutally honest when there isn't anything you can think of to say to make it all better.
I always have the toughest time sending a card to someone who is going through a rough time.  You don't want it to be too cheery or sickening sweet, because sometimes that just makes it worse.  I really struggle with homemade cards for those occasions.
Stay tuned for more cards using this set for happier occasions! LOL!
Have a great day, and hopefully I will have some camping photos to share with you tomorrow!
