Reed's Baptism

It was Reed's baptism this weekend. Reed is my nephew, but also an honorary member of my Stampers 8 Club since his Mom was pregnant throughout most of our club and Reed joined us for our Club nights soon after he arrived. He is such a quiet little guy and true to form, he didn't cry once during his baptism!

His card came together pretty quick. I decided on Night of Navy since that was the one of the colors from his Parents' wedding. I used the new (available in the new catalogue July 1, 2010) Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the top half of the Whisper White layer. The image and sentiment are from Special Blessing set and were stamped with Night of Navy classic ink. The cross was stamped a second time on a scrap, cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The ovals were cut using my nestabilities.

Night of Navy narrow grosgrain with a little bow finish this card off perfectly!

Happy Stamping!

Katie's 1st Communion

We celebrated Katie's 1st Communion a few weeks ago. Of course, she had a fancy new dress and even got her hair done for the occasion (her cousin is a hair stylist so it makes that part easy). It was a special day for her.

I had a really difficult time coming up with her card. As a matter of fact, my nephew also celebrated his 1st Communion the same weekend and I bought his card! Seriously, I had no creative mojo whatsoever that week! None. Once I finally got Katie's done, there was nothing left to try for Zack. I also ended up mostly case'ing a card from SCS.

A few embossing folders, some ribbon, a few tiny black self-adhesive pearls and a sentiment from "Special Blessing" stamp set.

Happy Stamping!
