Welcome Sophie!

This week we welcomed another new member to our family. Sophie Lynn was born to my niece on Sept. 14th. I am still trying to wrap my head around ME being a grandmother but my little sister?? Wow, where do the years go? And my little niece having a baby??
Both mother and baby are doing fine and Evan couldn't be happier with his new adorable cousin.
I had bought the 'Baby Mine' line from Fancy Pants to do some layouts of Evan but wondered what I would do with the girly paper included. Well, problem solved!
I started out by making this cute little 'onesie' card from a template I found on-line. I used the 1 1/2" circle punch to make the neck and legs then the 2" scalloped punch to add trim. I added buttons down the front from the same FP line and added brads to the bottom for the 'snaps'. The 'monogram' I should have stitched but I took the easy (and lazy) way out and used a SU writer. It opens up as a card with the striped pp on the inside but it could be used as a gift tag using only the front.



This next one is a simple layout I did of Sophie when she was only a day old. (she's sooo much older now - 3 days old!!! LOL)
Again I used the 'Baby Mine' line. I love it when the pp has pics on it as it makes it so fast and easy to make a layout. I simply matted and added the photo then added rub-ons and stickers all from the same line. Sophie was not wearing pink so I picked up the green in her hat and pulled the pink that was in the pp. A cluster of 'Prima' flowers were added to the left corner and voila - done in no time!



It's so nice to have little ones back in the family again - holidays and family times just aren't the same without them. My only wish is that Evan and Sophie didn't live so far apart - but I'm sure there'll be lots of fun and happy stories to tell coming from both sides of the country!
