She's Having a Baby!

Our niece, April, and her husband Justin are expecting a baby girl in January!  This card was made for them, and was based on a card originally designed by our friend Kevin.  The stamped images are from a few sets - the bottle is from Tag Alongs (our annual Ronald McDonald House set from which $2 from the sale of each one goes to RMHC), the letters are from Monogram Sweet, the inside sentiment (except for congratulations) is from Full of Life, and the rest are from Baby Bundle.  We are thrilled for them and wish them all the best!

Thanksgiving Place Cards and Napkin Rings

We recently purchased the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Sizzix die from the Holiday mini catalog, and it seemed to lend itself nicely to this fall project - place cards and napkin rings for Thanksgiving dinner.  The place cards are just a 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Early Espresso cardstock folded in half, then we put a piece of square lattice embossed Cajun Craze cardstock on top.  The wavy strip of Autumn Spice specialty designer series paper was cut using the Tasteful Trim die.  The initials were stamped using the Monogram Sweet alphabet set.  The napkin rings were made using the Autumn Spice paper die cut with the Tasteful Trim die and accented with a piece of Early Espresso 5/8" satin ribbon.
