You make cute babies & Giveaway

Today I am sharing a card designed for another one of my Nieces for her baby shower.  I personalized it with her son's unique first and middle names.  It is included in Unity Stamp Company's May Color Challenge & Friends With Flair projects.  I also have a little giveaway here.

Front sentiment: CONGRATS you make cute babies.
Inside sentiment: A baby is sunshine & moonbeams.

This is paper pieced, embossed and framed in green, tan and white.  I adore these diaper and hanger images but just had to hang something on the other clip.  So, I made a name tag & added twine.

Tools used include: 
From Unity Stamp Company: Dutch Mustard Soup, You make cute babies, The Right Words.

Thanks so much for visiting. Have a great day.

Liebster Award ~ Such an Honor!!!

I am excited and honored to share that I have been given the Liebster Award from Chris at Chrispy's Creations.  She is an amazing person and loves to share her love of crafting as well.  Thank you Chris and I will pay it forward.

This award was designed to promote blogs that have less than 200 followers. Once the award is accepted, the idea is to pay it forward to five other blogs you enjoy, encouraging others to visit, leave comments, and hopefully follow.

To accept the award: Thank the person who gave it to you and link back to their blog. Post the award on your blog. Give the award to five other bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

Write a comment on their blog letting them know they have been nominated.

This was such a difficult choice.  I have met so many talented and kind people who are deserving of this recognition.  Here are five wonderful bloggers:

Angela at Angela's Crafty Spot. She loves her family. She also loves crafts and I see her enter challenges often with her wonderful creations.

Amber S. at ...Pieces of Me. She is very talented and creative. Love to see her use of different products on cards and layouts. 

Maureen at Glitzzys Place.  She is creative with stamping and mixed media.  It's always fun to see her unique creations.

Amy at Crafting With Amy.  I like how she uses diecuts from cutting machines and stamping.  It is refreshing to see her work.
