It's a BOY!!!

It's a BOY and that means I'm a Grandma!!! 
We've known for sometime that my daughter-in-law was having a boy and we even knew his name, but we have been on baby watch for two weeks and the wait is finally over! Parker Matthew Goldman has arrived and to celebrate I made this super fun card with lots and lots of baby items I've been collecting. It was the most fun to make too! 
First, here's a pic of me and my son, Matt, with Parker...

In case you are wondering, the onesie, the word 'baby,' the safety pin and balloon are all from SugarPea Designs. The fox, bee and train are Taylored Expressions and the little bunny is Memory Box. And that adorable box they all sit in is Neat and Tangled. I found it while shopping in my 'not-so-local' scrapbook store and just had to have it. There are so many things I plan to do with this little box die! My sentiment is a combination of Mama Elephant and Clearly Besotted. 

Here is a detail pic of all the dimension on this card...

I just love this combo of colors for a boy instead of just baby blue. Parker's nursery is decorated in a woodland theme with lots of foxes so this will tie in to that too!  

I'm sure you'll see a lot more pics of the little guy soon!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Love, GiGi aka

Missing You is Real Ruff!

Hi there! I know, I know, it's been three months since my last post! I can hardly believe it myself. That doesn't mean that I wasn't being crafty though. I've been busy working a lot and to be honest, my craft room was not something I wanted to face. It was such a mess that I could barely get in there!  But, I won't make any more excuses and I'll get to this cute card I wanted to share today! It fits with the SugarPea SugarSketch 41!

  My daughter is 7 hours away at college and I miss her more than anything in the world! It's real ruff! And...I love, love, love these adorable puppies from the SugarPea Hot Diggity Dog set.  She's been missing her dog too, so this set was perfect for the occasion!

I paired it up with a Mama Elephant sentiment, well, because it was really just what I wanted to say! I added a little sparkle on the dog tags and around the heart. A black button and twine ties it together!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to get back here a lot sooner!
