Hi, Friends!
This is what I woke up to yesterday morning...ha! Mother Nature is sooo confused!:-) We got about four to five inches of snow. Some places a little south of us got ten inches! Can you believe today it is nearly gone due to rain?! And, there is hope because the weather report today said it might be near 70 for the weekend...happy dancin' here!:-)
So, I made a card to help Mother Nature along to let her know many people are thinking spring. And, here is my card...
For my card, I started with a navy card base and stamped the Mama Elephant flower image on X-Press paper with Memento Tuxedo Black. The image was colored with copics. I stamped the sentiment with SU-Night of Navy. Coloring the flower was very soothing while it was snowing outside...ha! A one layer card for my stash, which doesn't take extra postage!
Ok, on to some happy news! Another baby in the family...a great nephew born...Ash James! He is welcomed by Mom(Adrienne), Dad(Stephen), and two older brothers, Gabriel and Jax...
Ash
Born: April 10th at 12:43 am
Weight: 6# 10 oz.
Length: 20 in.
This is the baby afghan that I made for little Ash.
Ash, Gabriel, Adrienne
Jax and Ash. Now I call that brotherly love!:-)
Ok, friends! That's all for now! Hope you have an awesome week! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Take care!
Hugs,
Maria
Oh snow, we were having summer few weeks ago, I do miss the white stuff though.

Your card is lovely! I love your CAS design in bold colors; a fab spring card. Looks like winter is holding on in your part of the world; glad to read most of it was gone already:) And your great nephew is a sweetie; congratulations. So sweet of you to make him a baby afghan. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAwww, welcome hugs for sweet little Ash! Isn't he just a bundle of love?! I'm so happy for your family. The baby afghan you made him is of course beautiful... as is your card! I love the bright flower to encourage Mother Nature to stop dropping snow on us. :o) The vibrancy is stunning and I love it atop the navy base! Beautifully done as always, Maria! Have a sparkly happy evening. :o)
