rainy day crafting

there's a lot of rain around here these days. and what better to do on a rainy day than craft?
i'm currently working on a birth record for our baby. it's going to be a family of three owls on a branch-- with the baby's name, birthday, and weight stitched at the top. it really just makes me so happy to quiet down my life, curl up on the couch, and make a little something for our little one. 
 but since this stitching is going to take while to complete, and it's always nice to finish a project, i got up and made some cards too. 
i just love the coral and teal theme of this paper. i found it at michael's this year to make a valentine for my hubby. we framed it afterwards. you can find the DIY instructions here.

well that's all for now!
