Welcome Home LO

This week is Design Team #1's week to inspire you at Celebrate the Occasion!  The DT came up with some beautiful projects for Challenge #5!  The theme this week is New Arrival (new baby or puppy).  I love joining in the fun with my fellow design teammates so here is my New Arrival project for this week.  I made a 2 page LO using my Imagine and the Nursery Tails Cartridge. 

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear New Arrival is laundry...lots and lots of laundry!!  How does such a little bundle of joy create so many dirty clothes!!

My oldest E was 16 months when we brought her little sister home and she was thrilled with her.  The first thing she did was grab her new sister's hand and gave her a High Five!  Then she took notes and started taking care of her baby too!

My favorite part of being a new Mommy is all the snuggling!  I love the way newborns curl up on your chest in their fetal position and you can cup them with one arm.  That feeling is priceless and I am so blessed to have had three little gifts from heaven to snuggle!

I really wanted this LO to make an impact so I popped everything with dimensionals!  I just love the layers and I love the little wooden cloths pins that I found in my stash too!

• Stampin' Up! CS, Dimensionals and Ribbon
• Nursery Tails Cricut Cartridge

Two Hearts, One Love

I really love my Nursery Rhymes Cartridge.  I just love how easy it is!  These little love bugs are my favorite cut on the cart and I find myself using them a lot.  Especially when I feel myself drawing a blank!  Tonight I actually pulled out my sewing machine and blew some of the dust off to make a card.  The card was missing something (and it still is) but it looks better than what I had at first!  I had originally cut the silhouette out in the same color as the card base but didn't like it, so I colored it in with my Perfect Plum Stampin' Write Marker.  Do you ever get that feeling that everything you make is missing something?  I've been feeling that way a lot lately.

Imagine Pink Wednesday Challenge

Today's Imagine Pink Wednesday Challenge is to make something Yummy with the Imagine.  I took a quick 10 min break from my shower favors to whip this up and post it.  I made a page for my youngest daughter's baby book.  The top picture of this page is one of my most favorite pics I've ever taken!  It was her first taste ever of cake and you can see her little tongue licking the icing off her lip.  I think it is a priceless moment captured!

 I used the Nursery Rhymes Cart for this page.  I printed and cut the scallop rectangle with the same pattern  as the bib.  The solid cardstock and ribbon are Stampin' Up!  This page took me less time to make than it did to post it!  I also made her a scrapbook of her first Bday which is posted under my "Scrapbooking Getaway" post.  If you haven't already, please check it out!  Thanks for stopping by today!
