Baby Carriage card

The weather is cooler today but sunny.  The thunderstorm we had last night brought cooler air into the region.
The men from the paving company are working on my driveway today spewing dust into the air.  Last year I had the foundation of my house dug up and waterproofed, so this year decided to get the dug up area paved.




I was going to pave the whole driveway but when I was informed of the cost, I gulped and said I would go for the repair only.  Even that if going to cost me an arm and a leg.

While they were working on the driveway I thought I would do a post of a card I had made earlier this morning.  This baby carriage card was inspired by a similar one seen on Pinterest, but I ended up changing the card quite a bit (Isn't that usually the case?).  I'm having a catalogue open house on June 14, so this will be one of my sample cards depicting the new incolor cardstock.




The carriage was stamped in Lost Lagoon and die cut using the coordinating framelits of the stamp set "Something for Baby".  I added a flower stamped in Hello Honey also die cut to the carriage, and hung a pair of booties stamped in Crisp Cantalope. The carriage was attached to the image panel using dimensionals.
The Whisper White image panel was scored 1/8" and 1/4" along all 4 sides using the Simply Scoring Tool.  I just love the look of that.

Block Card baby card

What a hot muggy day it was today.  I spent most of the day hiding down the basement where it is substantially cooler.  Once it was a little cooler outside I went out and watered the flower planters, only to be dive bombed by a horde of mosquitoes.
While I was down the basement in my work area, I cased a block card by Deb Valder here.  I found the card fascinating when I first saw it on Pinterest, but it wasn't that hard to make.  I made the card almost exactly as Deb did but now that I know how to make the block card I will be making more of them.
Here's the card:
