Finally!

 

Good Evening Everyone!

 

 

Today my daughters and I attended my sister-in-law's baby shower. She has 4 weeks to go before she meets her new baby boy :). I have been waiting for over a month to give her this keepsake that I made for her. Now that I have, I can finally share it with you all, as well (warning: this post is picture heavy lol).

 

First, the card.

I used pale yellow and pale grey - the colors she has chosen for the baby's nursery. I used 'Sleepy Fairy' from Mo's Digital pencil. I LOVE this image. It is just so sweet. I colored it with Copics and layered him.

 

Here is a closer look:

 

And now the keepsake.

I have seen things like this online for quite some time and I just love them. I was thrilled to finally have a reason to attempt to make one. I searched the internet for patterns and I did find a few different types. In the end, I decided to use the crib that was in the Silhouette market and make the display box myself. It took a few attempts to get it the way I wanted.  

 

Here it is:

 

I couldn't just put the crib in the box, the way I had originally intended. I decided it needed a window. After the window, I decided it needed a wall decoration. I wanted to put his name on it somehow, somewhere. I thought about putting it on the crib. Then I thought the outside of the box would be better. In the end, the wall plaque seemed like the best place to incorporate it.

 

Can you see the baby in there?

 I planned on just sculpting a little baby's head and putting it on a simple ball of flesh colored clay since the baby was going to be wrapped in a blanket. My daughter Jordan kept telling me I wouldn't be able to do it. Of course she was right (she knows me well).  Here is the baby, arms, legs and belly button present:

 

He is made from Polymer Clay  and measures 1 1/2" long. Whew, that was tricky!

 

There you have it, Ladies. I hope you enjoyed looking. I don't say this often, but  I was very pleased with how this turned out :). I really hope my sister-in-law is pleased with it as well ;).

 

Take Care everyone,

Christine xoxo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SOG Anniversary card

 

Hello All!

 

 

I know I have been quiet for awhile. I still have been in that creative rut for the most part, but what I have created I have not been able to post until I could give it to the recipients. And here is one of them!

 

I made this card for my wonderful friend Lea and her hubby, who live across the pond, for their anniversary. It was a bit late getting to her - sorry Lea lol!

 

I used 'Hand Holding Kody and Mae' from Some Odd Girl, which I colored with Copics. The flowers are from Wild Orchid. I used my Silhouette for some of the embellishments and the easel and some are Spellbinders. (I still am terrible at remembering  the names of everything I use. I don't know how you all remember everything!!)

 

Here is a close up of the image. I layered it, of course.

 

 

At the end of the month I will have a project to post that I made for my sister in law's baby shower. I am very pleased with it and can not wait to share it with you :).

 

 

That's all for now.

Take care, friends!
