Great Expectations

ETA:  Your imagination is not playing tricks on you.  I had two posts scheduled that had a mind of their own…so today you have all sorts of mail from me. 

Have you been checking out the posts from the JustRite Designers blogs?  Well, there is a new set scheduled for release on July 7th called Preserves Borders and Centers Set.    I’m showing a little Congratulations Basket that I made with the set.  A few of my friends have had babies recently, but this is for the next friend that announces she is pregnant.   The set has a card, a jar of pickles, two chocolate bars, and a book.  Here are the individual items.

Okay, so here are the pickles – I think they are so cute!  I used one one of the centers from the new Preserves Borders and Centers Set with the JustRite 2 3/8" wood mount, and created my own border using Times New Roman 15 point font to read  "Break Open In Case of Pregnancy".  The center is colored with copic markers.

The chocolate bars are two of the giant bars you can buy at the grocery store.  I used design paper for the wrappers then used the What’s Cooking Borders and Centers Set with the JustRite 1 5/8" wood mount for the medallions on the bars. 

For my 4 x 4 card I used the JustRite 1 5/8" wood mount and the Times New Roman 25 point font to create a rounded expression that reads "You’re Expecting".    I hunted high and low for something to go with my pregnancy theme and finally landed on this Studio G stamp showing a pregnant lady.  The space I was working with was tiny, but she fit and I colored her with copics too!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  More gifts and cards are in the works!
