Love at First Sight

 Today at BBTB2 Susan from Busy with the Cricky has asked us to make a baby project.  How fitting, since both of us just became grandparents!  My 2nd grandbaby is a boy, so there will be lots of new projects featuring him.  Here is my first layout of Baby Sam's first few hours.  He is now 6 weeks old and changing every day. 

Join us with your baby related Cricut project this week at BBTB2.  Here is the rundown on my layout. ' It's a Boy' is from Beyond Birthdays cartridge.  Giraffe, baby bottle, baby block and pacifier from Stork's Delivery.  I can't find the Ric Rack border again, it could be Artiste. Scalloped circle from A First Few Years.

 

Sympathy Card with the Explore

This week at BBTB2 Sharon is our hostess.  Her blog is http://meemeescreations.blogspot.com/.  She has selected 'a sympathy card' as our challenge this week.   I haven't made a sympathy card in a long time, but found I am out of them.   I decided to try an idea of making a background paper with my pens on the Explore.  I cut the flower from the CM Stork's Delivery cartridge using both layers.  Then I put a single layer on another page and copied it several times, changing the sizes.  I used the writing feature to make the background paper using a purple pen to match the paper flower.  The "with sympathy" is from the Jasmine cartridge.  The doily is from Stampin' Up (see sidebar for ordering) For my first writing project with the Explore - I like it!

Please join our challenge by linking up your 'sympathy' card to BBTB2.

Here is a close-up of  my background paper.
