Baby Gifts with Little Bundle

We are back today with some super cute gifts we made with Little Bundle. For my project I wanted to make a cute little mini-scrapbook. I seriously had SO much fun making this one.
I think for me it all started with the color combination. And I used Carved Love, For the Love of Dots, and For the Love of Grids to create all of my patterns.
 
For this page I created a cute little pocket to add some cute little things.
I can't wait to give this to someone. And don't you love the For the Love of Grids pattern with the Birch pattern from Carved Love.

Dana also used Fall Fest on this patter. Isn't it cute with the buttons?
 
 Isn't this box banner so cute? I just love it. 

So what's your favorite baby gift? Make sure you check back tonight at midnight (Eastern time) for the big release!

Introducing Little Bundle

This stamp set is perfect timing because I actually got to see a sweet little bundle last night. Aren't babies the sweetest?

Karen designed this set that I really just love. It has such great sentiments. Today, you'll see some of the cards we used for our peek yesterday. We went with a more monochromatic look for all of these. I think they turned out so good.

I went with some non-traditional baby colors (especially for a girl), but ahh... love. And isn't the little ducky the best? I stamped mine and then covered it with glossy accents. I had a few bubbles, but I like the added fun it brings to the card.

And check out these girls (aren't they awesome) ...

Aren't those so cute? You are absolutely not going to want to miss tomorrow. We've all created baby gifts that you are just going to L-O-V-E. 
Okay, so I'd like to know what's your favorite thing about babies?

2. Cut kraft paper slightly smaller, stamp birch background from Carved Love.
3. Sew around edge.
4. Adhere fabric tape and tie bow.
5. Adhere cardstock.
6. Die cut shape, stamp bird and sentiment.


Stamps: Carved Love, Nature's Wonder, Christmas Wonder (Practicing Creativity)
Cardstock: Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink)
Ribbon: Dark Chocolate Swiss Dot (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Blue Bayou (Stampin' Up), Burnt Umber (Palette)

Well happy Tuesday!

Sunny Summer Days Page

Sunny Summer? I realize that's only in my head right now in late February, but a girl can't help but to dream of the coming days.... but first.

I wanted to write a little about everything that's happening in our world. I think everyone has probably been told in person, so I feel better about writing it here on my blog. Chase has taken a new position at Rolling Hills Community Church. It's still here in middle Tennessee, but as Chase and I both grew up going to Gladeville, it's a huge change. This month has been very emotional, we love the Glade, but we are excited about what God has in the future. In the midst of the change we have put our house on the market. I know many of you have been reading since we first moved in, and you know all about the many, many, many projects we did in this house. I so wish I could give this craft room to someone that would really love it as much as I have.

So there's my excuse for my blog hiatus. Is it good enough? Chase and I would appreciate your prayers as we embark on a new chapter in our lives, and to sell our house.

Alright, so back to those summer days. Chase took this picture of Maddie and I after we walked to PetSmart one day. It's not a long walk, but it was hot. Maddie just laid down after we started back home. We ended up having to carry her home. I'm telling you sometimes it's really nice to have a 5lbs. dog.



I've been hoarding that sheet of Basic Grey Doodlebug paper forever! I finally just had to use it.

With this blog break, I did want you to know that there will still be a Practicing Creativity release next week! It's a great one that Karen designed!
