It's a Boy - Let's go Sailing

Are you ready to set sail?  I was totally enjoying making this little Sailboat card for another friend's baby shower.  It fit perfectly with the baby's nursery nautical theme.  She was even able to reuse the sailboat in her son's scrapbook.  

The sailboat was cut from the "B is for Boy" Cricut cartridge.  The background was created using Stampin Up's Label's Collection Framelits Dies.  The swirls were done with an embossing folder and for the water I just tore some paper and inked the edges.

Such a sweet and simple card with a lot of impact.

Happy crafting,

Have a good rest of the week,

It's All about Baby!

This post is all about Babies, I am going to a friend's baby shower this weekend and it put me in that kind of mood.  I really love making banners, since they go together really quickly.

I used the same template I created for my parent's anniversary banner.  This scallop shape is really versatile.  I created it using my Gypsy.  In making the banner, I used the Accent Essentials, B is for Boy and the Songbird cartridges.

I hope this inspires some banner making.
