Square Baby Girl Card

The challenge this week at the Less Is More Challenge Blog, is to create a CAS card for a baby or child. Chrissie and Mandi like their white space, so I hope they think there is enough on my submission this week.

 

The card base is 5.25 x 5.25" square, and the pretty, sparkly papers are by MME. I have sure got some great use out of that paper stack!  I used a Nestability label for the oval, and the baby rattle sticker was leftover from other projects and sitting in my 'Odds & Sods' pile.

 

I have left the inside blank for now, and will add the words or verse when I go to send the card.

 

I may or may not have time to post this upcoming week. I have decided to tackle a HUGE project, and of course there is a time limit.  We are going to Israel for our DD's wedding. I wanted to bring the groom's parents something and hubby suggested I do a photo book of their trip here to Canada in February. So the book has to be done, submitted, and received before we leave.

The idea is BRILLIANT, but I don't just drag the photos into pre-selected templates in iPhoto. Oh no, not me. Since I used to design digital scrapbook kits, I am actually digitally scrapbooking each page. Then I flatten it and save it as a single photo and drag THAT into the photo book as a full page photo. I 'hand paint' every single shadow on the elements and photos, but at least I've realized I don't have time to create an entire kit for this album. I am taking advantage of the many talented designers out there and using their kits for the book. 

Oh, the time this is taking. But - it truly is a gift from the heart and I know that they will appreciate it more than any trinket or somethin' somethin' I could bring them. Obviously, since this will be a surprise I won't be posting the pages on my blog. At least not yet!

This weekend - with the groom's help - we got the cover words done in Hebrew. I also managed to create FOUR, two page spreads.  There will be at least ten more.  

So I'll be busy creating, but quite possibly not anything I can share unless I really need a break from my laptop.

Thanks for stopping by today.
