Wee One baby card

Happy Monday!  Hope you have had a good weekend!  It's spring break here, but I've got sick feverish kids, so we are taking it easy and passing out the tylenol.  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is a baby theme.  I always need cute baby cards in the stash, so I whipped up a card for a baby boy.  I used the B is for Boy cartridge for this little onesie and the wee one sentiment.  It could be for a girl just as easy with a color change to pink.  Check out the sweet baby goodness by the design team over at BBTB2 and link up a project there this week.

Owie layout

Well, I'm getting this up a little late for Labor Day (after posting the wrong week's post), but my excuse is that I've been hard at work all weekend!  Holiday weekends are business as usual in the ICU world, unfortunately, as people are sick 24/7.  It's nice to have the whole family home on a Monday though!

So our BBTB2 challenge this week is to do some kind of project reflecting or celebrating a career.  Since my mom and I are both nurses, my layout is for the medical and nursing professions.  When my kids were little, they thought nurses spent the workday applying bandaids and kissing boo-boos so I had to include a big bandaid on my layout.  The bandaid and Owie title are from the B is for Boy cartridge.  The doctor's bag and stethoscope are from Everyday Paperdolls.  I hope you will hop over to  BBTB2 and take a look at the cute projects from the rest of the designers!

B is for Boy baby card

I made a quick baby card for the stash while playing around with the B is for Boy cartridge.  The cute little train seemed perfect for a baby boy card!  The stamps are from one of the My Pink Stamper sets.   The shaped mats are from the Elegant Edges cart, which has proven it's versatility.  I find myself constantly going to it for mats for cards and journal boxes.   The banner is from Winter Frolic and I popped up both the train and the banner for some dimension.

I'm going to link this to the Cardz TV challenge to make a baby themed card or project.

Sock it to Me!

I'm still working on the backlog of birthday pics!!!  (more sock monkey madness to come...)  I found this sock monkey paper at Hobby Lobby-perfect for the sock monkey theme.  I used the B is for Boy sock monkey, Zooballoo, and Create a Critter for the rest of the layout.

Big Hugs card

One of my sons has chosen a sock monkey theme for his birthday party.  I designed this for the thank you card (had to be simple enough to make a bunch easily).  Apparently sock monkeys have made a comeback when I wasn't looking, because I was even able to find sock monkey plates, cups, and gift wrap!

Lunchbox mini cards

My younger boys had requested some "notes from Mom" in their lunchboxes (aww, what mom could resist that plea?).  The BBTB2 challenge to use a frog seemed like a good fit for boy themed notes.  I made a couple, including one with an alien and some sock monkeys (as they love their sock monkeys dearly).
