Whimsical Wednesdays: A Two-fer-One

I was blog stalking yesterday and I came across a card making blog that had a feature called "Wee and Whimsical Wednesdays". I guess I'm not as original as I thought I was, calling my craft and project brag day "Whimsical Wednesdays". Either that, or there just aren't very many adjectives that start with the letter W.

Anyhow, on to my projects. I haven't posted any in a while, and it's not because I haven't done any. I just forget to take pictures.

First up, our YW leaders have been very busy. There have been 3 babies born this year. All the girls are in heaven with all the babies to fuss over. For an activity a few weeks ago we made gifts to give to the mothers and the new little girls. At our next activity we gave the moms a surprise baby shower. It was so fun!!! I really wish I would have taken pictures of all the things we made. There were fabric and flower covered wipee boxes, embellished onesies, little itty bitty baby tutus (super cute!!!), "bling-kies, head bands with flower clips, and these: teething necklaces for the moms to wear and babies to chew on.

This is the protoype that I made before hand. They are so easy and super cute!!!

This fabric is so darling. I keep seeing moms with nursing covers, diaper bags, and burp cloths made out of it. It is really popular right now for good reason!

Why does it seem that all the cute stuff comes out AFTER you are done having babies? I hate that.

When I think of some of the things I wore, my baby wore, and that horrid diaper bag I lugged around with my first (andsecondandthirdand...etc) born, I want to puke.

Next up: My cards for card club. I sadly won't be attending because I have to, I mean I get to, go the Variety show at my kids school that night (Grace and Hannah are both playing the piano). But I'll send my cards anyways, for the swap.

This month I had to make two cards because I'm thinking not everyone will be hip to my original card. It's PG-13.

Here is the substitute if you don't want the REAL card (pictured at the bottom).


There are two paper choices. I love this pack of paper I bought ages ago. Finally I thought of a cute way to use them in a card. I just wish my camera would take better pictures. They are so much more bright and cheerful in person.



Here's the racy card :)

Outside: "Happy Father's Day to my husband who's still got it..."

Inside: "From your wife who still wants it!!!"

...with lots of room on the bottom for a personal sentiment :)

Hope your Wednesday is fabulous!!!
