Baby Cards

Today I spent the morning looking for seashells in the tidepools off the Waianae coast. We found lots of interesting things along with the shells - crabs, fish, sea slugs, eels, and lots of seaweed (for some reason, Teia seemed to find these the most interesting). After a couple of hours climbing jagged rocks, bending down to peer into dark holes, and making sure Teia didn't fall into any of those holes, I was wiped out! Normally if Im in the blazing sun near a beach, I'd prefer to be laid out on a towel, sipping Mai Tai's, and watching cabana boys…

Anyways, I thought I'd share a couple of cards I hadn't posted yet...

The first one is a baby boy card using PTI's Baby Buttons Bits, All Booked Up, and the die Mat Stack 3. Colors used are: Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, and Enchanted Evening.

This second card is inspired by Beth (Babiestwo on the forum) who is my go-to inspiration gal for all things baby. Check out her blog and you'll see what I mean! Again used the teddy bear from Baby Button Bits and patterned paper from PTI's Chocolate Remix pad. Shaded the teddy bear with my Copics.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day making babies, ummm I mean cuddling sweet, adorable babies! ; )
