Good Things Come in Multiples


Happy Monday! Today's card was inspired by Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. I needed a card to send to our cousin who had twins last Saturday! How fun, right?! She had two boys, so I thought this color combo fit the fun, young couple with TWINS (+ another son)! We hope to see them in a few weeks and of course have a baby photo session!

I had a great weekend and spent time with my childhood friend! I directed my first maternity shoot and it took a while because I had so many ideas to use for the photos. I can't wait to share them with you all! The family were all perfect models! We laughed so hard and picked up right where we left off in high school.

Is it me or is it a BABY BOOM in the world lately?! I think I heard on the news that the baby influx is surpassing the baby boom...WHAT! So many people are with child or just had a baby! BABY LOVE everywhere! You gotta love it! :)

Card Instructions
  1. On a pre-scored A2 card, trim off about 1/4" from the bottom edge.
  2. Punch circles from taken with teal cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the card base.
  3. Adhere spring moss cardstock to the card front.
  4. Tie ribbon around card front into a bow.
  5. On bitty dots pattern paper, stamp two onesies and cut out.
  6. Adhere the onesies to dark chocolate cardstock and cut out.
  7. Adhere the onesies to the card front with foam adhesive.
  8. Stamp sentiment on a strip of white cardstock (cut off from the pre-scored card).
  9. With foam adhesive, adhere to the center of the onesies.
  10. Add mini library clips.

    Love it!! I would never be able to give this card away I love it so much.

    Lotsa babies everywhere. I had 4 friends give birth to girls in March and 1 in Feb. And my sister is prego with her 3rd and her oldest is only 2.5 right now. LOL. Ok...I don't mean to laugh but it's kind of a nervous laugh.
