Kimi's Baby Shower Blog Hop

Happy Saturday, everyone!  A very special bloggy friend of mine, Kimi from Lovebug Creations, is having a little bambina soon, so some of us got together to make her all sorts of fun creations!  So, welcome to Kimi's Baby Shower Blog Hop!  If you came here from Jenny at Crazy About Cricut, you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, you can start at Lovebug Creations.  Oh, and we all have a message for Kimi, so make sure to read all the way to the end to find out how you can win some EXTRA blog candy! :)

Some of us are creating layouts for the baby's first scrapbook.  I made two layouts for today: one for the month of September, and one for Baby's First Tooth.  Here they are:

This layout can hold one 4" x 6" photo and four 3" x 3" photos (shown in blue).  Really, Kimi could choose to put any size in the strip on the right (3" x ??).  I used my Opposites Attract cartridge to cut the "September Sweetie" title, and I used the Lettering Delights Feels Like Autumn Cut It Set for the apple bushel and the apples.  I added some ink, ribbon, brads, and white doodling marks, and this layout was all done!

This layout holds one 4" x 6" photo and two 4" x 4" photos.  I got all of the cuts for this one from my Baby Steps cartridge.  I added some ink, ribbon, and white doodles to add a little umph.  I hope you like the layouts, and I ESPECIALLY home Kimi likes them. :)

Alright, how about some BABY SHOWER BLOG CANDY???  

I'm giving away a We R Memory Keepers Piercing Mat.  It's designed to be used with the Sew Easy, but there are OH so many more uses for this baby!  Here's what you need to do for a chance to win:

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #61: Blue Skies

Happy Monday, everyone!  It's Challenge Me Monday over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, and this week's challenge is to make a project with the color blue and a cloud shape on it.  Here's what I came up with:

This is an A2 sized card.  I got the clothes line from Baby Steps and the clouds from Create a Critter.  The grass was created with my Martha Stewart grass punch, and the sentiment is from Pink By Design's Baby Love stamp set.

I hope you like my little card.  Head on over to Fantabulous Cricut to see what the other Design Team members created, and then join in the challenge yourself.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a great week...thanks for visiting!
