Waiting for Adelle...

Okay, Ellie, this post is for you.

While waiting for my first child to be born, I have done what I can to get ahead on my card making.  Of course, this will necessitate me sending them to the appropriate people at the appropriate time....right.

Here are my inspiration cards, found via my Google Reader subscriptions and pinned to my Pinterest boards under paper crafts.  I used various paper packs and stamps, and did most of my cutting with my Cricut and SCAL 2.0 software.  Tomorrow, my Sizzix Big Shot is supposed to arrive!  I've already gotten the embossing folders and dies that I ordered and they are just itching to be used!!!  I ordered everything from Overstock.com.  I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from them.

Also, my photos are not of exceptional quality because I didn't take time to use our digital SLR or set up a shot in any way.  I'm lucky they came out as well as they did with just my webcam.

I still feel like these are missing something on the front, so any advice would be appreciated.  Can you guess which one goes to whom? I put the Father's Day sentiment on the inside:

I made these more masculine since I have some man-birthdays coming up.  Without the background image (and the fact I don't have my Big Shot yet), I think it works:)

And PS. Yes, I'm still waiting for Adelle:)
