Dinosaur Cards designed with Ayden

My 2 yr old grandson, Ayden, helped me design these cards.  I would hold up the paper and show him the embellishments and he'd say which one he liked.  He was disappointed that i had already used up the chipboard dinosaurs from this set of paper and had to use a sticker and cut-out from the paper.  (He forgot that i used those chipboard dinosaurs on his picture frame i made for his mom for Christmas)   :)

Not so great Dinosaur cards

I wanted my 2 yr old grandson to experience rubber stamping so i let him help me stamp the dinosaur skeletons...it was fun, but i always think i need to use everything i do, so i got out another stamp and used my new glue stamp so i could use glitter on the square stamped dinosaur.  This has turned out to be quite a collage...oh well.  

My other sister's 2008 Christmas Present

This is my sister Pat's grandson, Braylon.  He is so adorable!  Braylon's mom is my niece.
These are made the same way as the other one i did last week for my other sister, but with different papers.

The letter "Y" transformation

I used DCWV "Green" Paper Pad and chipboard shapes with the letter "Y".  See previous post to see what the letter "Y" looked like.  All i did was add the chipboard pieces and cut out the frame using a coaster (fyi- do not attempt to cut a coaster in a sizzix, i cracked my die cut trying to). 

Making a Baby Announcement for Holly

found the bottom middle announcement at Salvation army, but only 10 and we needed more, so i looked at the original to make my own.  The original is made on cardstock, i used what i had on hand...so a lighter weight paper.  I did print the announcement on white cardstock and adhered it to the paper, including the original.  I added "it's a girl" circle punch-out to the middle of the buttons.  I also had to make the envelopes to fit this card.  The best card was on Cricut's New arrival cartridge, it makes the largest envelope at 6.5" setting.
Diaper that fits over the announcement
You can get 5 diapers from (2) 12" x 12"  patterned paper, if you lay the pattern out this way.  I actually  cut the diaper in half (allow for a seam in the crotch) for 3 of the patterns and 2 i was able to keep in one piece.  See the two pattern LOs above and below.
