Baby Braylee Katherine Buber is here!

She's here! My fiance's son and girlfriend had their baby girl. Before the details, I want to know something...just because I'm engaged to a man who just became a grandfather, does that make me a grandmother????? She couldn't have waited until the end of next week, then I would at least be 40!

Here are the details:

Born at 5:37 PM 12/2/10
Weighing at 4 lbs 13 oz
Measuring 21 inches

She's doing excellent, we were not able to hold her because she's a preemie and needed to stay on the warming blanket and under the heat lamp. But she took her 1st bottle in front of us with no problem.



Don't worry about the tubs in her nose, it's not pure oxygen, it's the same air in the room. She can breath on her own, they just have them in as a precaution due to premies lungs collapsing and the walls stick together. All it's doing is pumping the air in and out to keep her lungs constantly working.

Here's the card I made them:








Baby Formula:
CS: BB Brandywine, DCWV Glitter White & Silver
PPs: Heidi Grace Designs “Baby Girl/Buggy”, Colorbok “16972 Rose Stripe”, SEI “Chocolat”
Rub-ons: Cloud9 Memories
Cricut Cartridges: New Arrival – Buggy cut @ 5.5” with a shadow base
Misc: Rhinestones, Heart Button, Adhesive

Back to some scrapbooking

It's been awhile since I've done a scrapbook so I'm trying to do a couple pages here and there. I took advantage of being able to do a couple pages of pictures from Christmas last year with this past week's Bitten By the Bug challenge. The challenge was to use the gifts from the New Arrival cart. You really should go over and check out the beautiful creations made by the other design team members.

ALSO, don't forget that the BBTB is having another contest sponsored by Krista and Penny from SweetArts Paperie. They have put together an amazing kit, check it out here. And because of all the hustle and bustle going on for the holiday magic the contest has been extended to 1/10/09!!!

So here is my creation on this week's BBTB challenge (the gifts from New Arrival are on the 2nd page:




I so love this gorgeous paper from SEI:

My 1st Challenge for Bitten By The Bug design team

Here's my creation for my 1st challenge as a Bitten By the Bug design team member. You must go over and check out what everyone else did, everyone did such an amazing job. It's so interesting to see all the different things you can do with one cut and to also see what other's creative minds came up with. Like I said everyone's creations are amazing!

The challenge was to create a project using the Train from the New Arrival cartridge (page 121) and here's what I did... (You can click on each image to see a larger view)
