Last year I became a great-aunt. What a thrill, though a bit of a challenge when trying to come up with a boy based baby shower card. Cute, frilly pink and soft baby shower cards are a dime a dozen and much easier to make. A proper boy card with just the right amount of cutesy with a large dose of tough guy thrown in, that's another story. This is where you trust that your best friend's Cricut cartridge library has just what you need. Sure enough, Brandy's Animal Kingdom cartrige has a moose head just right for the occasion. My nephew, Matt, (the father) is well know for his skill at hunting. The soon-to-be-new grandma, Lorie, is also know for her moose in decorating. Thus the perfect boy baby shower card liberally roughed up with brown ink.The Welcome Baby was created using the Design Studio and the Don Juan cartridge. Don Juan is my go-to font cartridge as it is soft, but not girly. I nudged the letters together and cut them out at a 1 1/2 inch size.
We welcomed Colin over 6 months ago now. He's grown so big and represents the next generation on my husband's side of the family. What a wonderful addition and excuse to paper craft!?!
