Twinkle Twinkle - Babies are the best!!

This is the second card we made at my March's Cards and Coffee and I just love it!  Isn't that sweet baby sleeping on the moon the best!  Especially love those little glimmer stars lighting up the sky! (Unfortunately that color of glimmer paper is no longer available - but you can color the silver with re-inkers and aqua painter - just check out YouTube for instructions!)

We had a lot of fun water coloring with SU's new watercolor pencils and blender pens.  Make's it just so easy.  Everyone can be a watercoloring pro!

Below is the inside of the cards with the rest of that darling little saying and few little stars -

and here are a few I did after class - you can see the water coloring is a bit different on each - adding to their uniqueness.  Plus, I messed up on one, so had to cut around the star and have it hang over the blue layer - but I still love it.

 

Maybe I love these so much because I am expecting grandchild #8 the end of June and it's gonna be a boy!  Can't wait to meet that new little guy!!  See you soon.  ~Maureen

A gift for Ellie....

My newest grandneice, Ellie, was recently born to my nephew Steve and his wife Robyn.  As is tradition - I have made a hand-crocheted baby blanket for every grandchild and every great neice and nephew.  Here is my gift and card to her, along with a cute little dress by my daughter's company "Little Paisley."

Below is a picture of adorable Ellie all snuggly in her blanket.  With the temps they've been having in the midwest - I think it arrived just in time.

Welcome little one - we're so happy you're part of our family.  ~Great-Auntie Maureen

He's HERE!!!

Hi All - sorry my posts have been so sporadic recently - April was a crazy month at home, at work, with birthdays - and now as you can see my newest grandbaby arrived - barely made it in April - but he did it :)  Welcome to Kyan Racine King - welcomed at home by my daughter and son-in-law Heidi and Aaron, as well as their three other children.  What a full-house they now have - full of blessings!

Kyan arrived weighing 7 lbs 15 oz and was 20 1/2" - just perfect in every way!!

It was Heidi's shortest labor and delivery (thank God) and everyone is doing fantastic.  I just can't get enough of holding this new little one.  Each birth of one of my grandchildren is such a miracle - and my heart overflows with gratefulness - I think I was born to be a Gramma :)  I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more pics of this little guy as time goes on!  ~Gramma Maureen

Joyful Moments

Last Tuesday at my Cards Stamp Camp this is one of the cards my gals made.  Usually we make two of each card, but for this choice they made these two (one girl,  one boy).  I love these cards and this set.  Those little hand and footprints just bring a smile to my face.  Hope you like them. ~Maureen

June Stamp Camp

Today I'm going to share the three cards we made at last month's Cards Stamp Camp.  These were all asked for by our customers - baby, sympathy and wedding - so we did our best to accommodate.  The first card uses the new Chevron embossing folder and the adorable "Baby Prints" baby set.  Each guest got to make one pink and one blue card - so sweet.

The sympathy card featured the Love and Sympathy set - the green ribbon is our new in-color Gumball Green - I was afraid it might be to bright for a sympathy card, but when I put it all together I loved it.  The flower was done by markering directly on the stamp. 

 

The final card uses the Love & Laughter set - we used our new stamp pads to make this card and look at that amazing image.  All that fine print and it stamped perfectly clear.  The DSP is our Comfort Cafe packet, and the colors are also new in-colors - Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse - LOVELY!!

Stop back soon to see what's new in my little corner of the world!! ~Maureen

Zamarah is Growing - OLD POST

I was cleaning up my blog and found this DRAFT post from 3/12/2010 - don't know why I never posted it - but had to share as it is soooo cute! The words below are what I wrote back then - so left them just as they were -

So Jenee brought the kiddos over last week, and our little Zamarah is starting to fill out. She is such a petite little things, but her cheeks are getting rounder, and she has an extra roll on her legs. (It's the only time in her life when that will be considered cute :)) Here she is just starting to wake.

Paisley's 8th Birthday

So all week I had planned to post this - but the whole week time flew by and sooooo finally here is my little Paisley the day she was born - 8 years ago. What a cutie-pie right from the start.And here's our beautiful girl at her party last week. I can't believe I have an 8 year old grandchild. I so remember the first time I held her - my life changed forever. Believe me - if you are not a grand-parent yet, nothing will be the same for you after that moment.

Her family party was a Movie theme - so here she is by her very own "Walk of Fame" star - Ms. Paisley J!! - Love you so!
