For Baby Phin


This is for my soon to be born grandson Phin.  I put this on a 12" x 12" x 1" block of wood.  It  printed out a wood print on the printable vinyl using my Imagine Snapshot Nature cartridge.  The bird are from Enjoy The Seasons cartridge, and the words are printed and cut out with the Country Carnival cartridge.

First I peeled off backing of the vinyl print and placed it on my piece of wood.  I used scraps of paper so I don't really know who makes it.  I then crimped 2 pieces of blue one for the photo and cut out a rectangle to slip a photo in from the top (this is his 3D sonogram). I just dabbed different color ink from my ink pads. 
There is a yellow ribbon below his name and then I glued his name on top.  I glued the birds on top of the scrap paper and put in stitching with a pin.  My daughter in law really liked it. And it is hanging in his room.
Now we just have to wait.

Getting Started

Hi my name is Sandy I have always love to craft.  I love to give gifts that I have made myself and feel very proud when I give something from my heart and see their smile on their face.
I am a Mother of 3 who have grown up and left  my nest.  They have given me 3 beautiful granddaughters and now I have 2 on the way.  I have a grandson due April 10 and another granddaughter due April 22. 
I have never done anything with a scrapbook, but with the two new ones coming I feel the urge to start and to make up for lost time LOL.
Right now I make cards, do glass etching and silk screen.  I have video's on YouTube on silk screening using vinyl instead of emulsion.  I started out with a yudu and now have a 4 color silk screen press.
