Dawn's Creation Station

Title page:

 A grandchild is a gift from above, one to cherish & to love.

 Great joy comes in seeing our family enter another generation.

 I thought I had forgotten how to hold a baby...but my arms remember.

 God gives us Grandkids to keep us young at heart.

 Grandchildren are loving reminders of what we are really here for.

 Baby just another word for love.

 A family is a gift that lasts forever.

 Baby face, you've got the cutest little baby face!

 Now I lay me down to sleep.

 A gift from above.



I don't know why...but masculine cards are harder for me to design.  I was pushed outside my comfort zone today, as we have some nephews with birthdays coming up soon.

The first card uses some themed basketball papers I had on hand and the stamp set 'Shootin Hoops'.  I also added a basketball button for dimension & fun!

I tried to keep their individual interests in mind while I created each one.

Hope they like them!

I have had another test of my patience since yesterday.  NO internet!  That makes me very crabby!  Thankfully we are up and running now so I will quick post before anything else happens!

We have friends who will be grandparents for the first time this spring, so I wanted to make them an album to have ready when the baby arrives, so they can easily record all those 'Firsts'.

Yesterday I finally got started with the first page:

I also LOVE the new Bohemian Alphabet stamp set!  I used it to spell beautiful.  It is available to order now!



I am so excited to have my 'Creation Station' shown on the Crafty Storage blog today!  Welcome to those followers who have found me through that site!  Thank you for all your kind words about my station...I feel very fortunate to have my own space to create. If you go to my first post on July 17th, you'll see more of the inside of my station, although a few things have changed since then!  I love organizing & re-organizing my supplies almost as much as using them. :)  That's why I was excited to find the Crafty Storage site...it shows awesome rooms & great storage ideas for all things crafty!

I got a couple new Cricut cartridges for Christmas that I have been playing with.  I used the Paper Lace cartridge to make the 'butterfly lace' on this card...it's a fun accent with the Wings papers. 

I used black embroidery floss to sticth along where the papers met. Stamp sets used were A Flitter & Embrace Life.  The 'bling' on this card are Licorice Opaques....love them!
