For those who may not have heard the news ----- I am going to be a grandmother!!!! We are just a little bit excited. My daughter is expecting her first in April and it is a girl! I wanted to share the news and knew the perfect thing to use to make a card. This B aby Feet Casting Mold  was the perfect accent. And I had Tri fold cards with a window to showcase the casting! I started with Cotton Linter Squares  and a pink sheet from the Tissue Tints Once I had my slurry, I pressed it into the mold and removed excess water. I allowed it to air dry.   To use the Tri Fold card, mount the casting in the window and secure the inside panel to finish. Now it is time to decorate the front of the card. Flowers, lace and ribbon were the perfect finishing touches!  Aren't those baby feet so cute? Did you know there are over 6 pages of casting molds in the store! I am sure there is one that will fit your needs! If you are also thinking about...

I have two young grandsons who like to play board games, don't get me wrong, they also like their gaming systems also. But because their dad is a hand on dad, he likes to play actual hand on games with them. I decided to pull out my cast molds and make a casting (actually two of each one) of the ones I have. I have them for the weekend every so often because the like coming to grandma's house...... hmmmm, could it be because I spoil them? LOL Here is a snapshot of a few of the molds. Here are the completed casts after painting them. I'm sure everyone knows how to play the matching game, that is why I made two of each one. If you coat them with a good varnish, they will hold up very well. Now off to make another set because I know they will want a set to take home. I think I will leave them unpainted tho and let them paint them. That way they will be so proud they made a game themselves.
