Baby Quilt Completed

My crafty sister-in-law Alyson completed the baby quilt we were giving to my cousin who just had her baby. I wanted to embroider her something and then I asked Alyson to finish it for me :) haha, because she ended up doing all of the hard work. She is so good at this quilt stuff!! I think she said baby quilts weren't so bad because they go quicker then typical quilts. We really wanted it to be simple and sweet, sorta modern and one she can actually use.

I finally saw my cuz' today so now I can post the photos in case she decided to check the blog. She seemed really pleased to have our handy work :)

My daughter had to get in one of the photos in her Fourth of July hat.

Baby Quilt

No, I am not doing the quilt, my crafty sister-in-law is doing that part of it.... I had the bright idea after I saw this free pattern to make something for my cousin's new baby. We found out it was a boy so now we can do the baby boy thing. I bought some fabric to do a quilt ahead of time & we all thought it looked too much like a boy, so we had to wait to see what she was having, but now we are all good!

I embroidered this piece to match the fabric, using what I already had on hand. It's very pastel and not so bright, but it goes with the fabric. So now it's Alyson's turn to work her magic. I had the easy part :) Can't wait to see what she comes up with.

Yeh, Baby is coming

My cousin/friend has been on bed rest for 14 weeks and is going to the hospital tomorrow morning to have a C-Section. My crazy cake making friend Danielle is whipping up something awesome and sentimental that I can bring with me when I go to visit her & her family in the hospital.

I made this card(and will post my first photo tutorial showing how I made it later). The cake is going to match this basic card idea & colors. I can't wait to see what Danielle will come up with! Remember the Mini Sushi Cakes Here that she made for Goldy? Like I said crazy.

The color is off a little, it is a much richer red color in real life and I had to add the blue button for the baby element :) She doesn't know what she is having yet, so we will have to wait and see.

Little Star

I made this cute baby card for Splitcoast Stampers card layout challenge for this week. I got this Martha Stewart paper from a friend not too long ago and thought I would put it to good use.

The Chocolate and Baja Breeze are from Stampin Up otherwise the rest of the paper is by Martha Stewart. The stamps are a set by Inkadinkado. The button was something I received in a embelle swap a while ago. I'm not sure I really love this card but I love the layout this week.
