Playing With Paper

One of my customers had a baby girl earlier this month.  I made these for her using files from SVG Cuts .  The baby carriage is from SVG Cuts' Bundles of Joy kit.  I stuffed it full of baby girl socks. The card is from SVG Cuts' Breezy Backyard Lever Card kit.  The paper I used is K & Co's "Classic K Charlotte" paper pad.  The pinwheels are a free file from SVG Cuts.  The paper I used for them is DCWV Playtime stack.  A close up of one of the pinwheels.  Its hard to see the pattern on the paper because the colors are so muted. Thanks for looking!

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Obviously, this isn't for one of my kids because the name has BOTH an "S" and "O"!  This is for a friend of my daughter's who is having a birthday.  I really had fun making it.  Just really had to take my time on the curvy letters. The base for the letters is Recollections kraft-style cardstock.  The front is a chocolate and cream zebra stripe from the papers by the sheet racks at Michael's.  It didn't have a brand name on it.  I glittered the edges of the stripes with Recollections Bubble Gum glitter using Martha Stewart Glitter Glue.  Let me tell you, that glitter glue is fine stuff if you can get it out of the bottle!  I felt like I was trying to decorate a cake, squeezing that glue out!  The little roses are also Recollections and I att...
