Baby We’ve Grown

January 22, 2014 By Connie | 6 Comments

OK…think it is time for another photo of my sweet grandson, Carter, don't you?  He is 7 months here and I had just finished giving him his "breakfast" of cereal, applesauce, prunes and avocado!  What a mixture, but he seems to love it!

 

Carter 7 months

The Baby We've Grown stamp set is one of my favorites in the Occasions catalog!  I especially like the trio of owls!  I've used it a few times for baby cards for friends and family.  But, this card I did for my Go Divas Occasions Catalog swap!  I love getting all the excellent ideas from this swap group!

 

Sometimes in the swap design process, I'll do a prototype in one set of colors and then change the colors for the actual swap.  In this case, it almost turned out as girl and boy versions!  I ended up doing the girl version for the swap because I LOVE that colorful chevron pattern in Watercolor Wonder DSP and I had more DSP of it than the boy version!

See…basically the same, but the colors make them look totally different, don't you think?  I think the card is pretty easy to figure out.  I did use the Circle Framelits and the Chevron Folder for embossing the bottom half of the circle.  The girl version uses Watercolor Wonder DSP and the boy version uses Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack.  I watercolored them using Stampin' Write Markers and my AquaPainter…my favorite way to have control over my watercoloring (is that an oxymoron?)  For the new in "brand new" greeting, I used the coordinating marker to color in the word new…making it stand out, I think!

 

So…which one do you like better???  Boy version or Girl Version?  Would love to hear!!!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    These are gorgeous Connie! I really love both but I think the boy version has a slight edge for me! 🙂

    Connie, I like both of the owl cards.  Even though red is one of my favorite colors I prefer the one with the chevrons.  Great cards.

    Your grandson is so sweet.

    Both are wonderful. I like the girl one a wee bit  more, though.
