For CASology's Week 193: PINK I was so tempted to make another baby card ... but I need to make one for Gretchen's big sister, who was such a trooper for the 55 days that Mom was away taking care of baby sister! The funny thing is: Madelyn doesn't like pink - go figure!!!
A little piece of tulle left from a 12 kits kit; MME Market Street paper;
SSS Hello Beautiful, and Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script for the sentiment.
Hmmm ... I think I know just the little girl this one should go to:
Is she not the cutest ever??!! Yep... momma, too!
Lindsey and Meg met us for a visit last week en route
to Myrtle Beach!
I'm still smiling, and cannot wait for the next time!!
I am struggling just a bit getting back into the swing of things - but CASology, and my CTS card, can always manage to get the juices flowing!!
Purple is Mady's favorite color - back to the drawing board!!

This is soooooo adorable and I now feel the overwhelming need to find someone with chubby cheeks just to give them a good pinch. :)
ReplyDeleteSo so sweet, absolutely loving the tulle and those stripes, snap! ps what a happy looking bunch of girls!
ReplyDeleteOh that card is beyond adorable, but even more precious is your granddaughter. So happy you got in the cuddle time and how awesome to meet Lindsey!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Glad you finally got to snuggle that darling little granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteOh Becca! You have to know she was even cuter in real life!!

I can't take my eyes off that beautiful photo of you with baby Gretchen :) You look like the happiest 'Grammy' in the whole world, and I know you are! God bless her, Michele! Looks like you had a great time visiting Lindsey, too...such a happy pic!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am LOVING this pretty pink card with the lovely tulle and pink striped background! Such a fun 'play on words' for your sentiment, too! Fabulous post, as always, my friend!
Adorable card!!
ReplyDeleteThat card is ADORABLE!! You could just duplicate it in purple. Such a lovely photo of you and baby Gretchen. I am so glad that she is HOME!!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous that you got to meet Lindsey. Looks like you had fun!!!

ReplyDeleteThis picture is so perfectly precious in so many ways!! Love your darling tutu card, super creative! Still lovin' that you got to meet up with Lindsey and her little one!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Michele, love how you used the tulle on it. So pretty. And the other photos, nothing beats a cuddle with a baby, the smell, the feel is so beautiful. The one with your daughter and her daughter so gorgous too. You all looks so happy. Ahh I love grandkids, time to settle in and get some crafting going. Cant wait to see the purple card.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and your family that Gretchen is now home! What wonderful news! And what a beautiful and sweet card you've made - so very cute.
ReplyDeleteCute card and cute bub! I'm glad Gretchen is home safe and sound. What colours does Madelyn like? My youngest was a blue girl for YEARS. She'd fight the boys off if there were blue balloons or balls on offer, haha! My eldest was pink and sparkles (despite me starting her in bright, bold colours without any pink or sparkles in sight).
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele, how wonderful that little Gretchen is home ...and what a beautiful photo of Grammy with the little darling!!!! Oh, I'm so happy for all of you that the stressful time is over and that you can relax and enjoy her now!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you met the sweet Lindsey and little Meg ...how wonderful ...that must have been so much fun ...what a lovely photo of the three of you!!!! And your card for little Meg is just tutu sweet, Michele!!! So cleverly done, my friend and beautiful in pink and white with gold!!!! Very cute!!!!
Have a wonderful day!!!

ReplyDeleteYour card is beyond Fabulous! Love it!
The tulle piece on this card is so perfect, Michele! Purple has always been my favorite color (but rarely use on cards). So happy for your family that Gretchen is home and thriving!
ReplyDeleteReally adorable card Michele and Gretchen is just the sweetest little thing--hug away gramma!
ReplyDelete...and thank you for sharing with us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteDarling overload on this post, Michele. First is Gretchen. So precious. Then your card. I think I did something like this for my granddaughter when she was much younger. And Meg - cute as a button. I'm glad I got to snuggle with my great-granddaughter this past weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele... friends of us became grandparents yesterday (first time), so I am getting the feeling ! So glad your little angel is home. Your card is tutu sweet indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for using the Casology inspiration in such a great way!
Of course the card is unbelievably cute....BUT I love the family pictures! The grand babies are beautiful! Thank you for sharing with everyone!
ReplyDeleteMichele....please promise me you will submit this card to inspired by the little things challenge this week...the card is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI know this is a super late comment but couldn't miss telling you how much I love your precious picture of you and Gretchen. What a blessing for your family! It must be so wonderful to have her home at last. Love your adorable pink card!
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele. What a fantastic picture of your darling little granddaughter. May there be many many more hugs and snuggles in your future together. Love the picture of you with Lindsey and her daughter as well. Your pink tutu card is simply adorable, and I love the dimension, and how it really does look like something straight out of ballet class. I have a daughter who hates pink with a ferver--started pretty early, and has continued...I treasure the photos I have with her in matching pink Gymboree outfits from the days before she learned to make her wishes konwn about her clothes. Not to worry, however, she looks great in all her athletic uniforms and is the picture of a tomboy even today. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteOh Michele, thank you for sharing that beautiful first snuggle with Gretchen ... what a joy! Lovely photo of you with Lindsey and Meg too ... how wonderful that you get to meet up with so many friends on your travels! Now ... your card ... just adorable ... tutu sweet, mon amie! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeletewhat a nice snuggle hug - and what stylish butterfly pantaloons!
ReplyDeleteCutest. Card. Ever.
ReplyDeleteThe End
The card for Meg is darling just like her and her mama! I still say that picture of you and Gretchen melts my heart! God is so good!

ReplyDeleteOh what fantastic piccys Michele! Loving all these baby shots - you're certainly getting that cuddle time in! Love the tutu card as well. What a fun and perfect idea for a gorgeous little girl. Totally inspired by your cards now and wish I had so many awesome ideas. xx
