My sweet friend Rena became a grandmother yesterday.

I'm so excited for her.

This will be in her mailbox when she comes home from meeting her grandson.

I started by stamping this retired SU stamp "Two by Two" on 

Arches watercolor paper with Memento Tuxedo Black

Then I watercolored by swiping Stampin' Up! markers on an acrylic block

and picking up the color with an Aqua Painter.

The water is sponged on.

That allows me to take this to 

The Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge #2

Simon Says Monday Challenge

Lions and Lambs, oh my!

I have lions.

While I'm  on the subject of babies....

My Merry Monday teamie, Katie (Sweet n Spiffy)

recently had a baby girl.

Here's the card I made for baby Adelie.

You can find a template here.

and this one for big sister Ansley!

A template similar to this is  here.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.

Enjoy!

Two by Two

Here's another NBUS.  I've lost count of how many I've used this summer.  And, did you notice, I used some of that hoarded DSP! 

I hadn't used this stamp because I shy away from Watercoloring.  I don't know why because I really enjoy it after I get started.

The layout was inspired by this card by Wendy Wexler.

Melissa, at CASology, just had a baby girl.  They're having a baby shower for her over there this week.  Welcome to the world, Bryna! Congratulations to the proud family.

And I'll take this over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop.  I  haven't seen signs of the water guns on the playground this week, but the ark might be a safe bet just in case!

Almost forgot the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.  This week it's Anything Goes! Gotta love that!

This fits for a couple of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges at SCS.

I didn't keep up with the ink refills that I used.  Sorry about that.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
