A Full Heart

Hi friends!  It is with much joy that I announce the arrival of our first grandbaby, Logan Stephen, on March 14, weighing in at 9 lbs. 3 oz.

To celebrate the happy occasion, I made a card for the new parents as well as a shadowbox keepsake.

The image is from Stampingbella and is colored with Copic markers.  I added some Diamond Dust around the edges.  The papers are from Authentique.  Everything else was in my stash.

The shadowbox was a bit difficult to photograph because of the glass.  I was trying to avoid a glare.  The adorable image and sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co., Phyllis Harris.  The hearts are popped up with foam dots.  I used Distress Ink to watercolor the image.

As you can imagine, we are over the moon with happiness.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by.  I hope to get back to crafting a bit soon.  Have a wonderful week ahead!

Hugs

Hi all!  Just a quick post and update today.  My mom is receiving at home physical and occupational therapy and is improving a bit.  Small steps are most welcome!  Last weekend was the shower for my future grandbaby; however, the mother-to-be had a kidney stone attack and was unable to attend.  After a stressful couple of days and ER visits, she and the baby are doing well and looking forward to a delivery sometime this month!

My card today features a Picket Fence stamp "Jill" which I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with Stickles.  A very simple card to make.

Pattern paper is Sugarblush by Recollections.  I used a 3-D snowflake embossing folder by Sizzix for the area behind the stamped image.  The image has a matching die which I used and added pop dots for dimension.  The pink paper is also Recollections.  The diecut snowflakes and pearls were in my stash.

We are awaiting a rain/sleet/snow/rain/snow event starting this afternoon.  We have had several small snowstorms the past couple of weeks which I most welcomed as we had basically nothing much before that!  The snow is usually gone for the most part 24 hours later. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I look forward always to your kind comments.  Have a wonderful week ahead!
