One of our married couple friends, Joey & April, had their baby shower today. In just under 6 weeks they are expecting their son, Kenai, to enter the world.
Just for fun I thought I'd come up with a card to attach to the present George and I got for them. Using a template I had the Craft ROBO cut out the design.
Then pulled it off the carrier sheet. Which is the sticky sheet that holds the paper firmly while the blade cuts out whatever design you've asked it to cut.
I tested it out to see that it would pull together just right. I didn't have any old shoe strings so a thin ribbon had to do.
Then using some of my metallic paint pens and some star brads I decorated it. Using the green and gray from the diaper bag they'd asked for I put silver on the front of the shoe and green for the sides
I think it turned out well and really only took about an hour to do. I could see these being used for putting in gift cards or money for baby showers too. Also could use them for the first few years of a child's birthdays as envelopes. So I'm certainly going to keep this design and possibly use it for other ideas. Not to mention there are plenty of other pregnant ladies in my church.

I love to work with graphic design on the computer but also enjoy amateur Photography and basic arts & crafts.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from ACU where many very talented teachers taught and fine tuned my skills into what they are today.
I started out just enjoying to sketch and draw but ACU turned me on to the joy of creating with digital. I mainly use the Adobe Creative Suite programs my parents were so nice to purchase for me. In the past I've been known to dabble with animated gifs using other programs as well but have since slacked with that and am quite rusty.
I've enjoyed finding work to do with my church congregation, family, friends and locals for all varieties of projects and designs.
I started off hired as a contract graphic designer for a local news paper working on the advertisements and have since been hired on full time to be the PrePress Supervisor for the Advertising Department.
I'm a full time wife and mom as well, love doing projects for them in our home. My little daughter has started enjoying coloring and drawing so it's fun to think up ways to pass on the fun!
