Chipboard Embellishments and an Announcement!

Happy Monday!

I have an announcement to make! =D

I had the most wonderful weekend!! My son and daughter in law had a beautiful little baby girl on October 21st, right on her due date! It is her fourth child, and his first...and he was SO happy. 

Her name is Myah Ariana, and she is one perfect little doll! 

She's Daddy's little princess. Of course, my husband and I are ecstatic as well and can't wait to meet her. They live out of town, so hopefully soon!  

I just had to share, because in some ways you're like extended family to me. =D

Anyway, while I'm here, I'll show you what I whipped up last night. This is plain chipboard I turned into embellishments.




These were extremely quick and easy to make, and they turn out so pretty. It was hard to get a good picture of them. In real life they are even more beautiful!!

Here they are completed...
I finished them up this morning...they're still a bit wet...shhh, don't tell anyone! ;)

Well, that's all I have for you today. Hope you have a wonderful week! 

"Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28,29

Blessings!
Carmen

***PS: Forgot to mention that there's a tutorial on how to make these on my FB page! Go 'like' me!! =D
