So, 2013 is shaping up to be a banner year! LOTS of Weddings and BABIES BABIES BABIES!!! My husband and I have 20 nieces and nephews, and this year, we'll have 2 more! One nephew has already arrived, and the other will be here in a few short weeks! It's nice to have little babies in the family again, the last ones were my little one who is 5, my nephew (on my side) who is 5, and my niece (on DH's side) that will be 5 in a few weeks. We also have a bunch of friends all expecting -- it's so exciting - I LOVE IT!
Well, tonight we had a little "sprinkle" for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. It's been a while since they've had a baby, and we want to make sure the new little guy has all he needs! Another sister in law found these cute bubble gum tubes, and I offered to make new tags for them, because the ones that came on them were kind of...well...lame.
So, I sat down at the computer, and made myself a template of a bunch of 1.75" circles, and made a computer generated sentiment "We're bubbling with excitement for new baby "K"!" and printed them out. I broke out the Cuttlebug, and cut out all of the circles, along with the outer die cut shape, in red. I stamped the single largest dot from Polka Dot Basics I (Papertrey Ink) stamping off once, in a few different colors, and added the "shine" with my sakura white glaze pen. mounted them to the red scalloped circles, and then tied them on with some silver stretchy cord I got from SU! ages ago. They came out really cute I think -- and could work for a bunch of different occasions -- with bubbles even, if you don't want to give something sugary (good call Alicia!!)
Thanks for popping by today!
