Bea

A little over a year ago, some of our good friends had a daughter and they named her Bea. Sadly, she had Trisomy 18 and her life on earth was short. She now lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known and loved her. A few days before her first birthday, her parents were at our house and her mom happened to look through one of my PaperCrafts magazines. A card made by Betsy Veldman featured a sentiment from the Papertrey Ink With Sympathy: Loss of Child stamp set. She wrote the sentiment on a Post-It. I had been trying to figure out what to get them in honor of Bea's birthday so as soon as they left, I got to work on this...
Sorry about the glare, I didn't have the time (or the patience) to take the frame apart and remove the glass for the pictures!

I used the tissue paper technique again, but this time I applied the tissue over some PTI & Basic Gray patterned papers. And since I don't own the PTI stamp set with the sentiment, I printed it onto cardstock instead. I used Raspberry Fizz ink and a stamp from Dot Spot to add some pink to some chipboard letters I had in my stash.

Enjoy the day!

Picture Frames

Today I have a couple frames to share instead of cards. 

This frame is from Michael's.  I think it was $2.50!  I used A LOT of Scor Tape to cover it with that fun patterned paper.  The sticker is from the same paper pack and I put it on a piece of Kraft cardstock and cut around it before putting it on the frame so that it wouldn't get creases in it from the ribbon.  I'm giving this to a friend who recently had a baby girl.

I whipped up this little mat the other day when my friend had her baby boy.  We brought it with us to the hospital that evening.  The diamonds that I stamped in Hawaiian Shores don't show up very well in this picture, but they do IRL.

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?  We are planning an afternoon with friends down by the river tomorrow - should be great, as long as we can keep the mosquitos at bay!

Happy Friday!
