Inside & Out: Baby

Such a fun Papertrey Ink group post tonight....all about baby.  Nichole has created a stamp set that celebrates all things baby...and has given you plenty of ways to create gifts and cards from the inside, out.  Our challenge as a Design Team was to create a bag, tag, or gift wrap for baby along with a card showcasing the versatility of this stamp.  There are so many wonderful, sweet sentiments included in this set.  

I chose to use this set along with another new baby set that will also be released this month...you can get a little peek here on this card as to what the set is all about :)

  A quick way to finish the inside of the card and carry the theme throughout.

 

I decided to create some paper baby booties for my gift wrap idea.  Thank you so much to lovebugscrapbooking.com for providing such a sweet template.  I altered it slightly by adding hand-stitched felt across the toe, a tiny posy, and ribbon across the strap.  
  
 
 I thought these would be a perfect spot to tuck a handmade baby bracelet....and then to keep on display in baby's room.

I used Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush satin and Topnotch Twill, Sweet Blush and Vintage Cream cardstock, Ocean Tides ink, and Plum Pudding ink and buttons.  The paper and cardstock sticker are from Melissa Frances.

Now, off to enjoy creations from the other Design Team members...I can't wait to see what they've created for us.

Nichole Heady, Becky Oehlers, Betsy Veldman, Dawn McVey, Debbie Olson, Geny Cassady, Heather Nichols, Lisa Johnson, Mish Wooderson,  Niki Estes, and Kim Hughes. 

Thanks for visiting.

I looked at the picture and said to myself "No Way! She didn't" and looked a little closer and then had to say to myself "Oh YES, she did!!!". Roflol, I cannot believe that you made those little shoes. They are just too cute! Love 'em. You're SO talented, Girl!!! How I love to stop by here everyday. It's like a boost of sunshine for the soul.

[Melissa Ladd]

This project is amazing! I love those tiny shoes and your card is beautiful!

[Squeaks]

Exquisite!
The one adjective I am at peace with to describe your work.
The card is perfect and the little shoes with the bracelet tucked inside is the reason for all the sighs. How talented you are!

Melissa,
This is the most beautiful little set. I'm making one even though I don't have anyone to give it to. I felt and that added little detail simply makes the shoes and card.
I sent my first little note to someone yesterday - again it was a great idea.

Melis, you add such wonderful detail to everything you make. Those shoes are as precious as can be. I think that I'm going to offer to make the favors for my nieces shower so that I can show off this design. And, yes, the picture and template have already been added to my idea folder.
Thank you! Nancy
