Cute Baby Jude Layout

Hello friends. Welcome to this week's Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge - Cute as a Button Baby challenge.  One of the other new grandmothers, Maureen, chose this week's challenge. I discovered a stash of completed layouts stacked together and realized that I had never shared any of them on my blog.  And as luck would have it, among them was this darling layout of one day old baby Jude.

I used three Cricut cartridges on these two pages:  Baby Steps, Disney Mickey Font, and 3 Birds on Parade.  

I found this cute little new delivery baby on the 3 Birds on Parade.  I removed the bird and suspended the bird from my Hey Jude title.

The sweet baby sleeping on the moon is from the Baby Steps cartridge. This is a go to cartridges on all things baby related.

The phrase OH BOY was cut using the Mickey Font Cartridge.  

The Beatles cut below is an SVG file I made using a cartoon image from the Internet.  I used this same SVG cut in iron-on material and made Jude an adorable gown and cap set.

Baby Girl Layout

Hello friends!  This is my week to choose the theme of the Cricut Challenge at the Bitten By the Bug 2 blog.  We all know that I am totally besotted with my new granddaughter with my world revolving around all things Avaleigh!  It was very easy for me to select a theme for this week's Cricut Challenge - NEW BABY CHALLENGE (of course)!  I challenged the Design Team (and our readers) to create a card, layout, home decor project, or other NEW BABY ITEM.  I chose to create a two page layout featuring my favorite little baby girl!

I used four Cricut Cartridges to create these two pages - Baby Steps, First Few Years, Creative Memories Stork's Delivery, and Anna Griffin's Elegant Embellishments.  I confess that I have really been enjoying the Anna Griffin cartridges recently.  I love the elegant, versatile cuts.  I cut the scalloped backgrounds of both pages with Elegant Embellishments. I used Anna Griffin card stock (floral) for the top layer of the background and (blue) for the bottom layer of the background.  

One of the more difficult tasks with this layout was selecting which photos of our sweet baby to use on the pages.  After I found the image of the baby sleeping on the moon and clouds I went with these cute photos.

I used this adorable double layer rattle on the left page, along with sheer ribbon and pink pearl swirls. I also used the sweet baby girl three layer cut as a title on this page.

The right page has two Cricut cut embellishments, the sleeping baby and the baby blocks.  I added pink pearls and a pink bow to the baby cuts and used pop dots to adhere the embellishment to the page.

I hope that each of you will go by the Bitten By the Bug 2 blog and look at the other new baby projects created by the design team.  Also, consider joining us this week.  This is a fun challenge, if I do say so myself!!
