{ Blog candy }

***I am making this post "sticky" so it will stay on top until Sunday. Please read below for any new posts. Thanks.*** It's blog candy time!!! This time I am giving away some "blue" baby/boy goodies just because I am having a boy. I had to add the flowers because they matched perfectly with the paper and ribbon. You can always fit the flowers somewhere on a card. I am on a lookout for boy paper. Leave a comment on this post and tell me what boy papers I need to check out or your favorite boy color combinations. I will randomly draw a winner Sunday night, September 23, at 8:00 pm CST. Frances Meyer patterned paper, Offray ribbon, Hamton Art clear stamps from Michaels and two acrylic blocks, Prima flowers.

    Congrats on the baby soon to come. Blue and white and even tan look great with boy pages. Only done digital ones, but I find that blue is the best color to work with.

  7. I like the combos of yellow/blue or red/yellow/blue/white or red/green/blue/white. BTW, I also like these for girls. Maybe it's because I have 5 brothers and never was a "pink" person. Thanks for the chance to play along!

    We just had a wonderful pink addition to our family...first grandchild too, made it even sweeter... tee hee! I found a wonderful array of papers (either boy or girl orientated) at Michaels. If there is one nearby you should take a peek. And who doesn't love a trip to the craft store for any reason...LOL

    Congrats on the blue news....

    Hi Daniela, I like American Craft for boys very much. Also like orange colours for a boy. But maybe for such a sweet little baby you want more soft colours, such as Basic Grey.
    Well, I think you know more about papers than anyone else. Wish you all the best.

  12. Hi Daniela ~ once again, congratulations on your bundle of 'boy' joy!! For baby boy cards I like to use colors/papers that remind me of vintage toys that you'd find in grandma's attic :)... like those from Daisy D's "Chasing Butterflies" Collection. I also recently used some papers from MME's "Tres Jolie" Collection (the baby boy plaid paired with chocolately brown) enjoy your search for the perfect papers :) rae

  20. Congrats on the baby boy! I love the counter on the top of your blog:) It makes me smile each time I visit.

    My favorite colour combo is baby blue and white:) Although if I ever have one I'll probably be tempted to dress him up in black. hehe.

  21. Congratulations! Babies are so wonderful! For my son's baby scrapbook, I've been using every shade of blue I can get my hands on. I really love how dark navy blue pops with light blue and lime green -- but really every shade of blue is my favorite with sprinklings of grass or lime green. How fun! :)

    Congratulations with expecting a little boy. I love soft colors for little boys and when they grow up I would dress them in jeans and orange or green.
    I don't know very much about brands, sorry.
    Have a nice pregnancy.

  23. Congrats on your news of having a baby boy! They are so much fun. My 'baby' boy is now 21 but my niece recently had her second son in May. I still love how Navy & Red look for boy pages & maybe add in a lighter blue shade too. I have found that I like K & Company & American Traditions for boy papers.

    Congrats to you and your husband. How exciting & now that you know the sex, you can start the nursery. I think the nautical theme of red, white, and blue are so cute for a baby boy. Turquise and orange is also a nice combination.
