My son and his adorable wife are having their first baby in March, YEA ME!!! Did I say me, I meant to say them Anyway, they want me to make the baby announcements which is great but they have decided NOT to find out the gender of the baby, EVEN THOUGH they have the envelope at their house that tells the gender!! I told them to give it to me and I would keep it a secret but they didn't go for it. Sooooo I tried to come up with a couple different ones for girls and boys. My daughter and her adorable husband have three boys so we are kind of hoping for a girl but gotta love those boys so another boy would be perfect!
Baby Pooh is done with a cricut cartridge, covered with crystal effects and raised. The yellow frame is also raised.
The baby hanging from the moon is from an old TAC stamp. Used liquid pearls along the scallops and raised the baby and the sweet blush oval.
The baby in the moon panel is raised.
The sailboat card is PaperTreyInk. The sail and the bottom of the boat are cut separately and raised as are the red 'button' circles which have been covered with crystal effects.
There is glitter on the sail, the babies and the moons.
TFL!!

The top two are my favorites and can be made in green or yellow for boy or girl. Love the bow on the bottom left! Congrats and I hope it March 9th that the baby is due. My big 50 birthday coming up!

CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming grandbaby!!
Each of the announcements is precious and I agree with "coffeestamper" that any of them can be gender neutral by just changing the colors. Pooh would be especially easy if you used a variety of pastel colors. You could even use a variety of vibrant colors...just play with the combinations so you don't risk making them look too gender specific (e.g. blues and greens could be considered more masculine??).

Oh Dianne, congrats on your son and his wife's aniticipated new arrival. These cards are just spectacular. Babies are such a gift, and to have another little one in your family is just great for you! I know, in this case, it's all about you and not anyone else. That's just how grammas feel!
