Welcome Baby!

Flash Back – Favorite Things Friday!

So I am creating cards for a weekend vendor next weekend (August 18-20) in Danvers, Illinois and realized that I don’t have enough baby cards in my inventory. Of course I went through all my adorable baby sets and realized I do not have a current baby set! Oh my, we will have to remedy that.

So today’s cards are truly a flash back to when “Something Baby” was in the annual catalog. I do believe this is my all time favorite baby set from Stampin’ Up!

Danvers is small town outside of Bloomington/Normal where my grandma lived. I have so many fond memories of visiting her while in college (Illinois State University) and of course visiting Danvers Days before my kids were born, but especially when they were little. I have not been to Danvers Days since my daughter was 8 years old and she will be 30th this month! Yikes, it has been a long time.

If you live in Illinois mark your calendars for August 18-20 and come check out Danvers Days!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Oh Baby! Throw Back Thursday

4 Comments / Welcome Baby! / July 29, 2021 / All For Baby Bundle

We got some exciting news! My brother and sister in law that their only daughter is going to be a Mommy. How sweet is that? Congratulations Ally and Todd. Ally and Todd were married last October and they make the cutest couple.

I have a lot of baby stamps in my crafting collection and cannot wait to add the All For Baby Bundle on page 25 of the 2021-2022 annual catalog. Now I have a good excuse, right?

The card I created for Ally and Todd (hopefully they have received it in the mail by now) was created with a retired but favorite set, Something for Baby. We are so excited for Ally and Todd and cannot wait to celebrate the precious addition to our family.

**Something For Baby Retired Stamp Set**

Just for kicks and because after all it is Throw Back Thursday, I made a another baby card with the retired stamp set Moon Baby. No, I did not send Ally and Todd a second card. This one is clearly for a little girl, so for now, I hope you enjoy it. This would be super simple to create with any sweet baby set.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
