FCCB Challenge Me Monday #104


Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was fabulous but not nearly long enough.  My husband and I attended Strong Bonds, which is a couple's retreat for members of the military and their spouse.  I was a little apprehensive about going, mainly because I wasn't really sure what to expect.  However, to any military spouse out there I highly recommend it.  I actually got a lot out of it.  Plus, it was just kind of nice to get away.

It's Monday which means another challenge at FCCB.  This is the last week of March and as the saying goes, it comes in like a lion and out like a lamb.  So, this week we want to see your projects with gentle animals on them (lamb, kitten, puppy, etc.).

A good friend of mine is pregnant with their first child.  She is due in August and found out that they will be having a boy.  As I was looking through my cartridges, I found an adorable image on Sugar and Spice.  I have had the cartridge for awhile and never used it.  I am really bad about that. :)  The base of my card was cut at 5" x 6.5" and the mat was cut at 4.5" x 6".  Both the lamb and bear came from Sugar and Spice and were cut at 2.5"  The baby blocks came from New Arrival and were cut at 2".  I originally had them cut at 2.5" but they were way too big.  The border came from Elegant Edges and was resized in my Gypsy.  I also added some Vintage Photo distress ink to it to give it a different look.  Finally, I added some glossy accents, chalk, and doodling.

Mini Album

Hello everyone!  I hope you all are having a fabulous week.  I have a mini album I would like to share with you.  I love the idea of mini albums, especially as gifts.  This is the first one I have ever done.  I wanted to cut it into a cute shape but ran into some trouble.  My cricut did not seem to want to cooperate and cut my chipboard.  If anyone has any tips on how to cut chipboard, I would greatly appreciate them.  I finally gave up and made a boring 8x8 square mini album.

I made this album for Melody Unger.  I went to college with her parents, Lois and Kaleb.  Lois and I were in the same social sisterhood.  Little Miss Melody is a miracle baby.  Due to health problems that Lois was having, she was born at twenty three weeks.  Melody joined this world in May at 10 inches and only 13 ounces.  Lois and Melody's fight to become healthy again was a long one.  Melody spent months in the NICU and Lois had some severe complications.  On October 3, Melody finally got to go home with her parents.  Things were looking up for the Unger family.  However, on October 11th, Lois' health took a turn for the worse and on the 15th she passed away.  I wanted Melody to have something for pictures of her and her mom.  So, I am sending the album to Kaleb so he can add pictures and journal memories.
