Introducing GRUNGE ME and My Hero, My Dad (Day 4)

Here we are SO VERY close to the Papertrey April Release! I have LOVED sharing fun ideas for my two upcoming sets: GRUNGE ME and MY HERO, MY DAD... both releasing on April 15. :) AND... I have LOVED getting your feedback and sweet words! It's been exciting to hear your enthusiasm for the sets. SOO I extend many thanks your way for brightening my day! This next card IS a girly card (quite obviously). I used both the sets, and a sentiment from my "Embellishments" stamp set that came out a few months ago. I HAD to have a girly card because I am 22 weeks pregnant and we recently found out we are having a GIRL!!! We have an awesome 3 year old son who is full of life, spunk, questions, curiosity, and natural "boyness"... and now the house will even out a bit as I get to dress up my little lady! :) SO this card is for her! And as the sentiment states: I AM thinking about her, quite often! :) Just had to share with you all! PTI colors featured are the fabulous Raspberry fizz, Spring Moss, and New Leaf. The flower was die cut with PTI's Beautiful Blooms 2 die. And stamped to coordinate with stamping on the card base. I gotta say that sweet little humming bird might be my favorite part of the GRUNGE ME set. Just a nice little touch that doesn't call much attention to itself but snuggles right in with the scene. :)
This next card features some fun pieces from My Hero, My Dad. I love the big wooden button that came in a great yard sale bag of buttons I picked up for a buck. :) Love those little treasures! PTI Colors are Summer Sunrise, Dark Chocolate, and Hawaiin Shores.

My sweet three year old boy loves when Mommy has a craft day. He likes to play with my stuff and on this day he INSISTED that we make a special project for Daddy's return from work. Yes, I helped him steady his hand, but this card must be credited to my young artist in the family. :) He chose the colors and design. ( The orange rhinestones were my idea, but he was thrilled to actually be allowed to use them since all the bling in generally off limits.) Below you will see that he had just a few seconds to spare before Daddy walked in the door, so we also decorated the handmade envelope. Needless to day, my son was thrilled, and so was Daddy. :)
Hope you have been enjoying the countdown... And I AM taking baby girl name suggestions.... we are still waiting on the right name to pop up. :) SO any ideas would be welcomed at this point. Stop by again for the last count down day.... more prizes might be headed your way! :)



Nothing But Grace,

Tiffany

  1. Such lovely projects. I am really enjoying the variety of styles of projects one can create with your sets. And you seem to like the phrase "Nothing but Grace" - how about that as a baby girl's name? Victoria Pastor sounds nice too (and her initials would be 'VP')- if you have a first initial in mind I could offer more suggestions. :)

  4. Hi Tiffany!

    How cute that you've been making this card and matching envelope with your son! They turned out awesome!! You have a very original style! Girl names? I love Sanne, but guess that's more a Dutch name.. ;-) I also love Amélie or Emily. Congrats on your pregnancy and what a perfect mixed family it will be!

    Hugs, Wendy

  9. Oh congrats!!! I'm 13 weeks along and we'll find out at 20 weeks what we're having. We have two boys already and I can't wait to know if we're adding to our own little sports team or getting a little princess. :) Love your cards today! I love the name Lily, but it sounds weird with our last name.
