It’s a Baby…

Posted on | January 10, 2009 | 28 Comments |

Card {::SMILES}. We haven’t gone yet to our ultrasound appointment. In a little bit. But this is the card that the ultrasound tech will check, boy or girl, and over a yummy dinner we will find out what we’ll have for our #2. We want to make the event more personal and so we decided on this route instead of the tech telling us right there and then.

I used some Hero Arts stamps and the “baby” is Heidi Swapp. The alpha is Making Memories and the paper, scallop punch, and ink pad is Stampin’ Up. I used Copic markers to color the owls. The colors, I used Kristina’s color challenge for this week: chocolate chip, baja breeze, pumpkin pie, whisper white, and old olive. Oh, there are sparkles on the “baby” too. I used an American Craft glitter pen. The best $1.99 spent lately, ha! There’s a ribbon that I sewed on too.

I was going for fun and cute without going all the way baby looking. What do you think?

We’re going to have breakfast and get ready to go. I’ll share the news after we tell our families!

What a great idea, Savitri. Much more fun to find out that way! It’s like opening a surprise card! It’ll be a nice memento for your child.

Firstly CONGRATULATIONS Savitiri… what wonderful news. Having just had my second beautiful baby girl…I know how excited you must be. Your card is just gorgeous and I can’t wait to find out whether it is a little PINK person or a little BLUE person.

Take Care

Hi Savitiri,

Congrats on the wonderful news of your pregnancy. I too am pregnant I am due on 27th June, when is your due date? I love your idea with the card. Makes it alot more personal and it’s a lovely card too. Definatly a keepsake! We were really tossing up weather to find out the sex or not but have decided not too find out. If we were going to we were going to do something simular but not open the card until the baby shower! I hope your pregnancy goes along nice and breezy and you and hubby are delighted with the news of a boy or girl!

Dani :)
