No, not me!! My fabulous friends Megan and Hatim are having a baby in April, and I'm so blessed that they've asked me to make their baby announcements. This sketch was a great one to use to create some card ideas for them. Many more of my challenge cards will be baby announcement ideas, so keep checking back to follow my progress, and to see which one they choose!!
I'm a bit late submitting my Mojo Monday (Mojo Wednesday, anyone?!) This week's challenge was based on this sketch:
It was a fun sketch to use. I tried to challenge myself to be a bit more creative, while still staying within the parameters of the sketch. I rotated it and did my card at a 90 degree angle of the sketch. Tip: I used my Big Shot (remember, my favorite tool EVER!!) and the Curly Label Bigz Die (without the moveable window cutout piece) to cut out and score my card base. Easy as pie (and I LOVE pie!!) Note: By having my own workshop that totaled $250, I was able to get this $43 die for only $10.*** (see below)
Since we don't know their baby's gender, I wanted to do something with fun traditional baby colors, using Bold Brights card stock. I cut out the sentiment (from the Cute and Cuddly stamp set) using the Scallop Square punch. Many of Stampin' Up!'s stamps and punches coordinate beautifully.
