Thinking of You!--CCMC312 and FM169

July 22, 2014

 I arrived home from Salt Lake City and found out my Grandson was going to be born on Monday.  SO excited that he waited on Grammy to get home.  I have my two assistants with me, Miss Addison and Miss Victoria, so sneaking in my craft room is a challenge.  We received so many awesome things at Convention and I am longing to play with all my new toys.  But, there will be plenty of time for that----

 My new GRANDson, Robert Joseph is very special to me!  He is named after my Daddy.  He weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz. and will be in NICU for a little while.  Please keep him in your prayers.  We have not got to meet him yet, but hopefully soon.  His Mommy is doing well and we are so very thankful!  Addison and Victoria will be such great BIG sisters to him!  


I really love the color combination at Create With Connie and Mary this week.  Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss and Sahara Sand look amazing together.  Sahara Sand is a color I rarely use, so I am glad it is a choice this week.  The Friday Mashup asked for a background stamp and something 3-D on it.  I thought these two challenges would be perfect together!  Hope you enjoy my card!

    Congratulations, Claire! So nice that your new grandson waited for you to return home :) I will of course keep him and your family in my prayers.

    I love the split frame on your card, and all those gorgeous layered banners! The grid background is a great touch :) Thanks for sharing with us at The Friday Mashup this week!

    It's nice to see all of the layering esp. the banners! I love how you cut the die cut card stock in half. You did a fantastic job with both challenges and I especially thank you for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

    Congratulations, Grandma! I am a Newborn Nursery RN for the past 28 years and I love my job helping new babies come into the world! I love your card! I love how you mixed the elements on this card...a little grunge, a little vintage and a little geometric. One of my favorites this week! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge this week!

    Congratulations on your new grandson, Claire ! What a blessing for you! Definitely said a prayer after I read what you posted.

    You've made a cute b-day card! I really like the background stamp you chose and how you split your label. Love how you finished it off with a button and twine too. I can never seem to get buttons to look right on my cards! Thanks for playing with us this week at the Friday Mashup.
