Butterflies for Baby
Welcome to the world, Josie Lorraine Kuhn! Such a tiny little thing at 6 lbs. 8 oz. and a full head of luscious black hair! Proud parents are Lynda and Andrew of Hall, New York.
Here's a special card for the Kuhn family:
This was an extremely unusual card for me to make. There's almost no stamping, and the card gets its "wow" from a simple piece of designer paper. This happened for two reasons. First, I only own one baby stamp! You're aghast, I know. But it's true. I have Nursery Necessities stamp set and while it's a very nice set, I've used it as my only baby stamp set for nigh on three years! Can't I have another, please? The second reason is that I just got the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Pack from the Occasions Mini Catalog, and I'm smitten with every single sheet of paper in it! I added some glitter to the paper with my 2-Way Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter, but that's it — it's just that gorgeous! I did use Nursery Necessities to stamp the sentiment on Sahara Sand card stock and framed it nicely with a Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware piece. Instead of using the brads given me that matched, I chose Pretty in Pink brads to add a bit more color. Did you know that the Designer Label Punch punches out the exact size and shape for this nifty little metal accent? Pretty handy, huh? My final little touch is a couple of "stray" butterflies from So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie card stock run through the Big Shot using the new Embosslits Die Beautiful Wings. When I first saw this die, I thought the butterflies were so tiny that I wouldn't use them. But now I'm constantly picking out the teeniest butterfly in the lot!

U Pick 2 – Quilted Bird
Apologies to anyone who tried to join me between 10PM last evening and 6AM this morning. I exceeded my bandwith on my site and had to be upgraded to a larger one. Amy Celona hosts my blog, and she does an incredible job keeping everything running smoothly. With the Catty Cruise, so many were stopping by that it pushed me over the top! Which is actually a good thing, but something that needed correcting. Thanks for your patience!
It's time for the eighth and final U Pick 2 Card for January through April! This card features the brand new Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch and paper quilting with Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack, new Satin Ribbon, Scallop Trim Border Punch and the Big Shot!
The U Pick 2 Menu is now complete! Be sure to check out the full offering by selecting "U Pick 2" in the Navigation Bar above.
