Harper's Letters

Wow!  It has been a long time since I have posted anything!  Once school starts, life gets really crazy!

A colleague at work just had her 2nd baby and asked me to create letters for the baby's room since I created letters for her older daughter.  Using colors from the crib and nursery, here are the results:

Congrats, Natalie!

Baby Boy

I'm back with another card!  This time it is for a baby boy's shower for a colleague at work. I'm sooo excited because I bought my first sewing machine and had my mom and grandma teach me how to sew just so I can add sewing to my scrapbooking.  I used my sewing machine for my very first time on the card below and I think it turned out okay.  I have LOTS to learn though!!! I enjoyed using the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #245 and the colors from CCMC191.  Thanks for the inspiration! 

Paper:  SU DSP, Island Indigo, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, and Whisper White card stock

 Ink and Ribbon: Island Indigo ink and ribbon with white fibers

Stamps & Punches: Sweetness Unlimited stamp, Scallop Oval punch, and Decorative Label punch
Embellishments:  Twitterpated fabric sewn on, library clip, and mini brads

Letters by Me!

One of my favorite pasttimes is to create "letters" for my friends' children.  It all began last summer when my niece was born and I decided to scrapbook letters to spell her first name.  Then, a good friend was having a baby and as a baby shower/baby arrival gift, I scrapbooked letters for her daughter's first name.  They became sooo popular, that I am now making letters for many of my colleagues and friends!  They have turned out really well, so I thought I'd share!

So far, I have done only letters for girls and my inspiration comes from their bedrooms...I ask my clients for pictures of the bedrooms and draw my ideas from those.  I created the following pictures within the past couple of months for 2 sisters under the age of 5 and a baby born in the spring!

Ella's room was full of bold colors with polka dots and stripes, so here's what I created.   

Emma's room was filled with pastels and whimsical designs, so here's my creation:

I also completed letters for a colleague who had a baby this past spring.  The baby's crib decor is filled with many colors, so I created these letters for baby Sloan!

 And here's the final product above Sloan's crib!
