Onward with our calendar pages! As the “blessed event” is supposed to happen in early March, the 2nd and 3rd pages for the calendar are for April and May.
April is, of course, Easter and the beginning of spring here in Maryland, so the “Heaven Blessed” stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog was perfect for the job! Did I say I like to paper-pierce? This is a perfect example! All the little rabbits, chicks and the adorable little girl with her Easter basket are from that stamp set.
So far I am going with the lacy border idea. The Lace Ribbon Border punch was so easy to use to make this border! I spritzed it with the gold smooch spritz for a littel extra bling!
The pink doily page was an idea that I think started percolating when the onesie jumbo roller came out a year or so ago. I finally CUT APART the roller *GASP* and made 5 separate stamps so that I could position them around the scallop circle frame for this page. The details of how I did that will be posted tomorrow. I also punched holes around the inside edge of the lacey part and threaded the ribbon through those holes for the embellishment. This page is a real WINNER as far as I am concerned – LOVE it!
Ed. – when I actually attended the baby shower, the father-to-be recounted a story about one of his friends who had become a new dad. Apparently he had not heard the word “onesies” pronounced and thought for quite a long time that it was pronouced “On-E-Z’s”! THAT was pretty funny!
Until tomorrow…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!
