{Houndstooth for Babies}

This houndstooth cuttlebug folder arrived in my Easter Basket today... the bunny had ordered the spellbinders egg dies two weeks ago but, that order still has not shipped so this was an back up toy. and then we went into Bi-mart last week ( haven't been in there in a while) and they have these Making Memories 6" pads on (sale/clearance) for $2.99 a pad so the blue's color is poolside and the pink is Rogue. (the solid pp is from the same pads) Making Memories fishy buttons I've had these forever, they have some Karen Foster brown scrappers floss through the holes, took forever to do this as these fish were attached to the packing chipboard with real glue dots, So removing them to use mean the whole backs of them were covered with paper& glue took some doing to scrap it all off to get the floss through the holes. Three different Hero Arts stamps on this scrap of Paper Trey Ink Vintage Cream. one, the Stitched Rectangle, "Count your Blessings" and Baby Feet. these are stamped in Versa Magic Oasis Green. the edges were trimmed with an friskers mini pinking shears scissors. the ric-rac die is from Paper Trey Ink, there is two intertwined on this one the chocolate chip is from SU and the blueish color is unknown. This is A-6 in real life. Did an Pink Girly one too, the sheer Hydrangea Petals are from a silk flower that went to 4 million and 1 princess house parties years ago {so unknown) the button is vintage. This version was stamped with Memento Angel Pink (which did not pick up the top half of the sentiment too well but,... it does look a little better in real life) The silver tiny brads are from recollections. I hardly ever do Baby cards for the stash most of my friends are in the expecting to become grandparents sooner or later stage so may have to do some congratulations on becoming an grandparent type cards too.
