This is a layout for my last month as a Review Team member for Serendipity Scrapbooks. I received the Melissa Frances baby GIRL (?!?) kit but found that most of the papers in it were suitable for either gender. The base for this layout is one of the papers and well as the scalloped journaling tag in the bottom right corner. The scalloped edge and large bracket are grey American Crafts cs which PERFECTLY matched some grey fabric thickers I had!!!!! The twill across the page near the bottom is from Taylor Vanbruggen's store. The circle by the title I made with my JustRite stamper! Those little alphas are TINY! But it was so much fun creating my custom embellishment! It has his name and birthdate on it. I used the TNR font and tiny alpha on the wood stamper stamped it twice in Going Grey ink once on white cs and once on the blue. Punched them out and layered them! The journaling reads: Just hours old and already so totally wrapped in the love of your family.

This is it release night! I don't think I will make it till midnight (which is only 11 here but still). I am just too tired. So here is my final card for this month. Next month will be even more exciting! This is a baby card using the set Just Hatched. I made it for my REAL LIFE friend and fellow teacher Shelly. She is due in June with her 3rd, a boy this time! She has two girls. I am so excited! Blake will have a buddy. I am going to use an egg box to make the rest of part of her gift which is boy scrap stuff cause she doesn't have any! FUN! That will have to be next months release! So on to the card. The base is SU soft sky. I stamped the bird in the circle from the set in soft sky to make a patterned looking paper. The focal image is one of the ovals I just masked off the rest of the words leaving Little One - I wanted Welcome to put on their but I don't have a welcome!!!!! I guess I could have made it using Simple Alphabet - hmmmmmm might have to try that. Anyways, I stamped it in Pallet burnt umber - I just love pallet inks - on soft sky and the used my pink marvy oval punch to punch it out. I punched a SU choc chip scalloped oval out with the purple marvy scalloped oval punch. The wide chocolate grosgrain is behind the ovals with the choc chip one put down on that then the soft sky ribbon on top the choc chip ribbon and oval. I tied it at the edge of oval and focal image is popped up on demensionals. Down in the corner is sentiment Blessed New Baby. Which he of course will be with all of his aunts at school! We are baby crazy people I tell ya. The sponging around the edges with choc chip ink was an afterthought. Not crazy about it and would have moved focal image down had I planned it - BUT it was to try and hide a boo boo where my card brushed up against the open burnt umber inkpad! I usually would have tried to move it but I used mono multi on this card and let me tell you once it's set - it's not movin! Thanks for looking and let me know what you buy tonight! I am definitely getting Father Knows Best and Pond life, and of course ribbon, and ink and cardstock!
