Uber-CAS Snowflake Christmas

Happy Monday, peeps! This is probably one of the clean-and-simplest cards I have ever made, LOL! The challenge at CAS On Sunday is to use a corner of your card, and the Hand Stamped Sentiments has a pretty mood board:

All three of the pictures are pretty, but I just happened to have a snowflake stamp already out on my desk, so I went with that:


I used thick Basic White cardstock and embossed the snowflake in white embossing powder, then blended Pretty in Pink ink on top.  A simple sentiment and a few more snowflakes were stamped in Memento's London Fog ink and I added a pearl in the center:


An older Paper Pumpkin sentiment was stamped on the inside; not sure if it was the ink or my poor old stamp, but this was the best impression I could get!


Another Christmas card added to my stash!

This weekend we attended a "sprinkle" (instead of a shower) for my niece Paige, who is expecting her third child in January and it's a girl! After two boys, we're so excited!  She will have three under the age of three though....that's why God gives us children when we're YOUNG!  My other niece, her sister Kelly, did all the food and decorating.  She is our family's Martha Stewart for sure.  Check out these lemon cupcakes (and they were DELICIOUS):


The whole table was lined with arrangements like this:


Cassidy was in her glory, because Maven was there too!


Here we are with the happy momma-to-be!


Thanks for indulging me with pix of the family!  And thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

New babies are such a delight in a family....especially for all of the "not the mom" relatives! Excited for you all to welcome a girl! Those two boys will dote on her! And your card is adorable!

3 under 3..... now that will keep her running, but how wonderful for the kids to grow up so close in age and the new little one will have two older brothers to look after her. Those cupcakes look wonderful. Thanks for sharing
