Nursery

I was able to get in my room today, and I was able to finish the pictures for the nursery. We now have the elephant and frog from my previous post, as well as the turtle, duck, and giraffe shown below. Unfortunately, I still only have the two shadowboxes, so I had to borrow one to be able to take the pictures. I have to visit a few more Target stores to find 3 more. I am so excited to have these pictures to hang on the walls. There is nothing like a little homemade love to pull a room together. :) I hope you all enjoy these as well!

Nesting

Hello again friends! So, I don't know who knows this about me, but I am 28 weeks pregnant as of TODAY. Exciting, I know. lol Let me get it out of the now by saying that no, we do not, and will not, know the sex of the baby until s/he joins us in May. I know, there are some of you out there screaming at your computer because you can't stand the idea of not knowing. Trust me, I was one of you. The only reason I didn't find out was because my darling husband didn't want to know. However, now, I am really excited for that moment when I get to hear my baby cry for the first time and have the doctor announce "Congratulations, you have a baby boy/girl!" I just know that is going to make that moment even more special than it already will be.

 

Ok, now that we have all (hopefully) moved past the issue of not knowing the sex, we can get to the fact that I am officially nesting. I have been spending all of my free time shopping, planning, organizing, creating for the baby. The nursery is going to be neutral. The bedding is called Little Pond. It has ducks, turtles, frogs, giraffes, and elephants in it. It is all light hues of blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple. I decided on Sunday that it was time to create a few projects for the nursery decor. So I made 2 of 5 pictures to hang on the walls. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them!

WHOO Loves You Baby?

My friend Julia is about to pop out her first baby girl. I was SO excited for her when I found out. Even more excited when I found out I got to be pregnant for a few months with her! She is going to have what I know is going to be an ADORABLE princess. For her baby shower, I made her a picture to hang in the nursery as well as a simple, matching card. Enjoy!

Ok, first up is the card. I used the following supplies:

Cardstock - Hot Pink, Light Pink, Dark Pink, Metallic Pink, and Orange
Orange Ribbon
Cricut Cartridges - Create-a-Critter and Celebrations
CTMH Stamp -
Black Ink

I cut the card and enevelope using the Celebrations cartridge with my Expression at 10 inches, and the Owl from the Create-a-Critter cartridge at 3 inches.

Here is the picture I made to hang in her nursery. I used the following supplies:

2 12x12 pattern cordinated papers
Cardstock - White, Green, Black, Dark Pink, Light Pink, Orange
Cricut Cartridges - Storybook and Create-a-Critter
Shadow Box

I cut the white cardstock with my paper cutter so that I had a 12x2.25 strip. I cut one of the cordinated papers so that I had a 12x2 strip. I cut the owl from Create-a-Critter with my Expression at 9 inches. I cut the letters (1 set of regular and 1 set of black) from Storybook with my Expression at 1.5 inches.
