Guest Designer for Use It Tuesday for August 13, 2013
Use An Un-inked Stamp
Hello to all my crafting friends. I am so delighted that you are visiting my blog today. I am here to share a creation of mine as Guest Designer for Use It Tuesday. I love having a challenge that requires you to use up your old stash. This one was easy for me; because I have a lot of un-inked stamps. I buy them and never have time to use them all or I don't have any occasion to use them; like this one.
My best friend from Junior high just became a grandmother and I finally had a chance to use my baby stamp set. There haven't been any girls born in her family for 62 years; and they finally got the first baby girl! All boys for the past 62 yrs. Can you believe that? You talk about excited. Plus - it is her first grandchild. So - I combined Congrats for the new baby from the grandmother side of it. This is a very important day in so many ways. I am so happy for her and her family. I had to use pink since this was such a very special occasion. I haven't bought baby paper for quite a while; because I haven't needed any since I started making cards. The photo doesn't do these colors justice. It is mostly pink with a light yellow background and is a gorgeous paper. The buttons and bling are also pink.
I just found out recently that I am going to be a Great-grandmother to my step-granddaughter's baby. She is due the end of January. I am not really old enough to be a Great Grandmother. LOL!! I don't think it has hit me yet; but it will be fun when it happens. She is in Mississippi; so it will be hard to see the new baby except on the Internet.
So sorry that my pictures are not very clear. This paper does not like to be photographed. LOL.
