Make It Monday Floating Images


Nichole from Papertrey Ink did this weeks Make It Monday Video


 My window card open. Not sure you can see but I used the gingham 
stamp on the blue edge of the die cut


Our friends were expecting their third grandchild, last Friday.
 They needed to drive to San Diego on a Friday, that would be at least 3 hours, any other time 2.  Their daughter was in the hospital ready to deliver. They decided to meet up with us and go out to dinner and wait out the traffic. Well, at dinner we got the call the baby was born. I felt so bad they were with us and not their daughter. ( I would have had to be with my girls) Our friends said they would rather be with friends than on the road in traffic. Makes sense to me.  It gave the new parents bonding time with the baby. It was wonderful to share in that moment with them. We were all able to give a quick prayer of thanks that all was well.

Thinking of all of you affected by the storm

Supplies : All Papertrey Ink… Stamps Bundle of Love and Background Basic Gingham , Paper and Ink :White , Spring Rain, and clear paper.  Papertrey Ink Linen embossing folder and Mat Stack 3 dies.

  23. Oh, the best thing I've done in the recent past, was to sign up for 'feed burner'. What a treat to have a message in my email telling me there is a visual feast waiting to be viewed on your blog! It's like a birthday present several times a week.

    This floating card is fabulous. The separate cut baby blanket is a wonderful touch, and your choice of set to use is amazing. I bet you see lots of potential everywhere your eyes gaze. Thanks again for all the great inspirations, and for adding the email widget.

  29. This is one of my favorite cards for this challenge. You made the inside and outside of the card visually one. Just fabulous, Marybeth.
    Like you, I would want to be with my daughter while she was in labor, but I understand your friends' viewpoint. It was much better for them to share this special arrival with you than in traffic.
