I hope you are having a great day. I spent yesterday making baby cards!

WHAT?! You may be wondering……………..

I guess you could say I have babies on the brain. NO I’m not having baby fever-but EVERYONE else is.

Just about every couple Jay and I know is popping one out-LOL!

Some are over-due as we speak, and their bundle’s of love should be arriving SOON-like today!

Its so weird because I am SO past that stage in our lives. I feel like everyone is playing catch up. It’s good for us though. We have alot going on, and my children are at a point where I can do the things “I” want to do, for myself-OK that sounded wicked selfish, but not intended that way. Let’s face it, we all need some ” my time” for mommy fun.

ANYWAY-

I never have ANY baby cards on hand, and wanted to make some special one’s for those time’s I am in a CRUNCH-but you really should have a card.

I like to keep my baby cards soft, sweet and SIMPLE.

So I created 3 of the same today. I hope you like them, and gain some inspiration from them.

I used my favorite baby pieces if inspiration. It basically came from my friend Erin, who was being induced yesterday (Wed at 7:30 pm) saying-I think I have everything except 0-3 and 3-6 month onsie’s.

I could NOT believe my ears! No ONESIE’s? WHAT? That is a very important piece of  a baby wardrobe.

So, sort of as a “joke”, since I went on a spiel about onesie’s and their importance, I figured it would be cute to make her a card for their baby-SHAPED like a onesie.

Wait till you see the way I package the onesie’s I am bringing to the hospital!!! If it works the way I hope-its a MUST do for ANY new baby. Cross your finger’s as I am on a mission today to package them, and will share them asap.

Now the other thing I used, that is a favorite for me, is a Stork!

See that stork image in the onesie? Its from the New! All Occasion set by LAD called Petite Phrases.

I LOVE storks! They are so cute!!! They are also great for adoption cards and what not. Or just a pregnancy congrats. Love them

For my cards I wanted a SOFT look-so I stamped with Sahara Sand ink, then colored with markers. The Stork on the girl onesie is the only one with glitter on the stork.

Its a Girl

Its a Boy

So what do you think? Cute? I was very pleased with the outcome.

I made it basically from SU! punches! I sorta just figured it out, and they only took 15 minutes to design and create 3! Now that is cool.

TUTORIAL CAN BE FOUND———–> HERE

The fold is at the top.

the head opening and legs are done using 1 3/8 circle punch :D

I also used my SU! Scallop punch for the “trim”. I would first punch my 1/2 circle then punch out the scallop border.

My Scor-Pal made the lie at the bottom where the “snaps” are. Otherwise know as Making Memories button brads :D

DONE! Simple Simon.

Speaking of babies…………..

My babies-

Alexa-icky nose, taking a huge amount of antibiotics, and still recovering from roid-rage, but all is well. She really doesn’t complain-as long as she gets her way. She has this “attitude” that KILLS me lately. I don’t think I had that attitude at her age. But I guess she is entitled.

Noah-he is great. A very good little boy. He has learned how to take Daisy out to do her duty, and enjoys helping with her care the most. He plays with her alot though-out the day.

Amber-she is also great. Nothing new to report. Loves school and is quite the little singer these days. Maybe she will be the future American Idol! LOL!

Daisy- she is going to the vet 8:30 am to get fixed :C Poor baby.

My hubby-we are praying we get a sitter soon! We haven’t had a date in forever :C We are pretty stressed. Excited LOST starts tonight!!! YEAH!

I appreciate all the well wishes.

That’s it for me for today.

I’m off and running.

I’ll check in later.
