Third Baby Card.

Hello peeps!

A quick card today for the third triplet on this post.

Used up a bunch of my stash of vintage basic grey (2007, LOL!). The buttons are from American Crafts.

Sorry this is super short again. And that I haven't been commenting on your blogs. Have been super busy with family visiting from all over the country. Things should be slowing down after Easter. And I have a vacation coming up at the end of the month that I'm very excited about and ready for! :)

Toodles!

Triplets.

Hola folks!

I don't know about you, but I am in major need of a vacay!

Things are a bit hectic here at the Mercado house - it's getting warmer and nicer outside so we are spending some time playing in the back yard.

I'm working on a new goal at work, and it's going to take up a lot of my time.

I've been coloring up some images, but have a harder time making the cards. I've been finding lots of inspiration on your blogs, but have been procrastinating on the things I really need to finish.

For example, a good friend of mine had triplets a year ago. I couldn't go their birthday(s), but had gotten them gifts. The birthday and party have gone and passed but I still haven't given their presents...only because I hadn't made their cards. *sighs*

I had a bit of time today so I thought I could rush by making three similar cards. I used Baby Jackson from Lori Designs, and even left the baby uncolored. Used CardPatterns Sketch # 157 -- I liked how it had lots of layers. Found some 'vintage' Basic Grey DP from 2007 and was glad to use up some stash. Not quite happy with the finaly results but what can you do? :)





And if you're asking why there's only two instead of three, well, the kiddies woke up before I could make the third one. And before I knew it, it was dark and time for dinner. *sighs* (again).

The third triplet is a boy so I'll be posting about his card soon (i hope!). Have a great weekend! It's my weekend to work (boo!). :)

Luv,

Baby Boys!

A super quick card for my co-worker who is expecting a boy!

I had gotten a 12 x 12 paper pack from K & Company and it's my go-to pack for my baby or preggo cards. Reminding myself now not to do that again. I get bored easily if I use the same paper, or stamps, for that matter...LOL!

And speaking of little boys... we had done a 3 D/ 4 D ultrasound of baby-boy-to-be. Basically, this ultrasound provides three dimensional images of the fetus. I know some people are a little freaked out by this. My mom, being one of them, had refused our invitation to come 'see' what the baby looks like for the second time. She says, "It looks like the baby is melting." Kinda true. But for me, it is magical.

{A little warning though. The babe may look 'deformed' because of the way the image is reflected or because the baby is 'smushed' in my belly}.

















Aww, he is so cute! And I want to pinch and kiss those cheeks! To me, he is looking like his daddy here.

And some news about the bigger tot: his second birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I was truly inspired by her son's high seas party. Even if Mattie's Christening had sort of a nautical theme, I decided to do one again.

And lo' and behold!! I saw The Greeting Farm's May 2011 newsletter. And am sooooo excited for this to come out:

Too late for invites but maybe thank you cards??? AAAACKKK!! I LOVE!!!

tootaloo!
