Take 1, 2 & 3

Have you ever had a card that takes three times to make it a CHARM?  I am doing the birth announcements for my dear cousin who just had the most beautiful baby.  She is now 8 days old and just a little butterball.  I so love chunky babies.  They make me smile.  Well, two weeks ago when baby Kylie still did not want to make her debut I had taken my cousin two announcements very similiar in looks to see what she thought.  Here they are!

So, once I pulled these out my cousin told me she didn’t want PINK!

Not a problem I said.    I can come up with a different color.  I’m a big dumb dumb and didn’t bring the catalog with me to show her the other colors but she was wearing the cutest Almost Amethyst Sundress and that’s the color we decided on. Phew. 

So here is Take 3!

Remember, my new favorite thing the past couple of weeks is lots of layers and the shabby look.  Now honestly I have always loved the shabby look, but I am totally into it right now.  These definitely fit the bill. Now, don’t pay too much attention to the fact I went a little OVERBOARD with my Color Spritzer Tool.  Actually the barrel wasn’t clean and I squirted black ink over my pretty pink paper.  (You probably heard a loud scream!)

 Have I told you lately how much I love the stamp set Friends 24-7?  Jeesh I cannot get enough of this stamp set.  It really is the BEST!  So VERSITLE!  I have to make 50 of these bad boys.  I started some of the assembly tonight! 

Below you will find all the products I used.  Don’t forget to check out the Last Chance Stamp Sets and Accessories.  The Accessories are going fast.  If there is something you want, I would get it quick.  I think we will walk down memory lane the next few weeks of some of my favorite stamps that are retiring.  I think we should give them a FOND FAREWELL! 

Oh, and a Daddy-O update:  He is doing FABULOUS.  Still in the hospital waiting on some labs to come back normal.  Still can’t thank you enough for all your prayers and concerns.  BIG HUGE HUGS!

  1. I liked the first two…but 3rd times is really a charm….LOVE the amethyst…..very classy and cute.

  2. Kimberly, i love them all.. but i think the purple definately has that extra charm to it! It’s just not your average pink – and you definately got that shabby look down!! You go girl!
