OMG! OMG! OMG!
I'm gonna be a GRANDMA!!
I'm SO excited, I can hardly contain myself!! Of course, I had to make my Lil' Chick the most AWESOME card ever, right? Can ya tell I'm a wee bit proud? Tee-hee! Well, it just relates to how ecstatic I am about the BIG news!! Ok, so I stamped the little lady onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored her with my Copics. Next, I cut the letters B and G using my Silhouette Cameo from both the DP and again from SU Early Expresso cardstock using the offset function. I printed the sentiment onto some SU Kraft CS, folded it into a banner form and adhered it to the top of the DP using a few dimensionals for support. To finish, I matted the DP using my Perfect Layers tool, stitched around the edges of each panel, and then tied some swiss dot ribbon around the base.
Now I hear being a Grandma is like the BEST thing ever. So, I'd love for you to leave me a comment below and tell me what the BEST part of being Grandma is for you. I'd LOVE to hear all about it. Oh, and tell me what do your grandchildren call you. I'm trying to decide if I want to be called Grandma or something else. Ok, I hope you hens have a TERRIFIC Tuesday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon! {{{hen hugs}}}
Supplies:
Stamps - Michaels Dollar Bin; CS - SU Kraft & Early Expresso; Ribbon - Offray; Silhouette Cameo; Copics; DP - My Minds Eye "Dream"; Perfect Layers Tool

My mother was alive when the first grandchild was born; she was 'nana'. :) Having grandchildren is the best - you're going to love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Priscilla, I can't wait!! Woo-hoo!
DeleteOMG ~ Congratulations!!! You really have something to be excited about! Wishing all of you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card you made!
Awww, thanks so much Betsy!
DeleteThe DH and I are SUPER excited!
Congratulations! Fabulous card. I love the design - so clever.
ReplyDeleteI'm not planning on being a grandma for quite some time...but I wanted to share the name my friend's mom chose when she became a grandma - Grammy. Yeah, meaning the music award. I've always though that was kinda cool.
I like Grammy too! It does sound cool!! Thanks Jan!
DeleteWhat a wonderful card...I know you are happy...I have 6 grands and a grt grand...they are all the best! What is the name of the letters you ordered from the Silhouette Studio site? I love your card! It shows so much love.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm about to bust I'm SO excited! As for the font, I think it was LD Distorted Drusillus.
DeleteCongrats, Jeanie! I am not a Grandma yet, but my kids called my MIL, Nana, and Nana's Mom signed everything with "Gma!"
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I kinda like "Gma!" Cute!! Thanks Merry!
DeleteGreat news, gorgeous card... it doesn't get much better does it hun! Jo x
ReplyDeleteNope, it sure doesn't!
DeleteThanks Dotty!
Congratulations! Even though I put both of my children on a four-year plan, they didn't stick to the plan - so no grandchildren for me. I'm so jealous. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteTee-hee! Thanks Linda!
DeleteI can hardly wait!
Wow, tell her congratulations and welcome to the world of grandparents.:) I wish I had known when I was there Saturday, I would have told her in person.
ReplyDeleteI love your adorable card, the papers, the big letters and everything. So cute.
Awww, thanks JoAnn!
DeleteNow we can exchange grand baby stories on our crafting trips! Yippee!
OMG, OMG,OMG is for Sure! CONGRATULATIONS. I am soooo Happy for all of you. We are Grandma and Papa here. I can not think of just one great thing about being a grandparent. (There are millions.) The love you see your child experiencing, being able to spoil said child rotten. (it is a Grandparent's job.) The 1st time the precious little one calls you Grandma, Oma, Nana or what ever they can pronounce. My father told me if he had know how much fun it would be to be a Grandpa he would have done that 1st! Big Hugs to all....
ReplyDelete"He would have done that first!"
DeleteOMG, I love that! What a hoot!
Congrats & fabulous card, as always! It is perfect for the BIG occasion!!
ReplyDeleteMy boys call my MIL "Grammy", and my mom started out as Omie, but is now "Baa" (pronounced like the "baa" of sheep). Strange yes, BUT, when my oldest nephew (1st grandchild) was little, he and my mom would play hide-n-seek. He couldn't say BOO, instead he said BAA. Shortly thereafter, he began to refer to her as "BAA" whenever he wanted her attention and it stuck!! It is unique to her, has a very special meaning behind it, and now that's what EVERYBODY calls her, including the adults!! LOL!!
Oh Hallie, what a GREAT story! I just LOVE names like that! Thanks for sharing. :)
DeleteWow this is the most awesome card ever! Love it and so excited for you!! I can't wait to see all the special birthday cards you do for the grandbaby. Not sure if your husband has picked a name yet but a gril I work with her grandchildren call her husband G-Daddy. I think that is super cute. Not so sure G-Mommy works though so my vote is for Grammy. On your card, the little lady stamp worked so perfect as the I where did you find her if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteOMG! "G-Daddy" sounds super cute! I'll have to try it out on the DH and see what he thinks! LOL! Thanks Paula!
DeleteI found that stamp at Michaels in their $1 bin! Can you believe it? Woot-woot!!
LUV this card!! Best part about being Grandma is feeling so much LUV I almost burst at the seams=and then even more LUV!!!!!
ReplyDeletefabulous card..congrats! Grandparenting is giving up the 'mom worries' of what kids should or shouldn't be doing at any particular stage...and just enjoying it all!
ReplyDeleteGramiPami to 6...with twins expected in June
Congratulations and fantastic card design.
ReplyDeleteHugs diane
Hey Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that I have nominated your blog for the Liebster Award.
Here is the link with all the info: http://craftynanasblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/liebster-award.html
OMG!!!! I leave you alone for 5 minutes and look what I've missed!!! Sorry I've been a bit absent, just been so busy at work and at home looking after my sick baby.
ReplyDeleteCongrats my friendly, I am sure you are going to be the best nana ever.
I love this card and the $1 stamp only looks that good cause you made it look that good!!
What a darling card!! Being a grandma is the BEST!! I have 4 grands and they are wonderful. We are Papa and Gigi. I was Grammy in the beginning with our first. I helped with childcare, my daughter is a teacher, and he couldn't say Grammy and started saying Gigi and it stuck. With my friends we have a wide range everything from Abby, Gigi, Grandma, Mimi, and Nana. What ever your special name the first time you hear that precious little one say it your heart just melts. I love your blog. Congratulations and welcome to the best club ever!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! So excited. Love this card!!
