I know it's been awhile since I've logged into my blog, but things around here are all about our new daughter Lyra. She is 7.5 weeks old and 9.2 lbs already! She has started to smile and laugh and is quite the wiggle worm ;) Here are some more recent photos, enjoy and thanks for all the wonderful comments from the last post. We are so proud.
I wanted to thank you all for your kind words concerning the birth of our daughter Lyra. Everything is going well here at home. She is nursing like a champ and we are just settling into our new life with her. Yes there are sleepless nights and countless nappy changes (my husband is from Ireland), but when she smiles at us, our hearts melt.
Here are some photos of our little one, enjoy!
I know it's been a little while since I've updated my blog. Things are winding down here as I come into the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I have announced my maternity leave, even though Madra Design will still be up and running, I have another talented designer taking care of any client design needs me for the next few months. The nursery is 99% complete, diapers are stocked and clothes washed and ready for our little girl to wear. We are getting so excited, I'm having a hard time containing myself! I'm still walking regularly and doing yoga once a week. We have finished our birthing classes and have a car seat check this week at the fire station.
I wanted to keep you in the loop and will post photos of our sweet girl as soon as we get settled home.
Lots of love,
Candice

Another Papertrey Ink release is here and The Madra Design Collection brings you Out to Sea. The most talented designers have come up with many beautiful and fun ways to use this set and I want to share just a taste with you. Make sure to check out the PTI site gallery as well as the deisgners blogs for more details on how these creations came to be.
Out to Sea came together rather quickly for me after I decided on a theme. I wanted to create a set that would be able to be used for male and female, young and old alike. As some of you know I spent most of my honeymoon near the ocean and this coming off the heals of Day at the Beach, it's maybe no surprise that it's ocean inspired. Nichole's sister is a professional sea captain so I had to get this perfect, hi Jen! We miss you!!
Ahoy Mateys! Just a quick hello to let you know that in just a few days the official release of The Madra Design Collection's Out to Sea will be here! I know there are a number of you that were on the Caribbean stamping cruise have had a chance to play with this set, but now it's available for us all! This set was another that was sparked by a honeymoon near the ocean and a love for the sea. It is very gender neutral, which I know is great news for those of you with dads, brothers and sons ;)
Nichole has posted some of her very beautiful samples on her blog this morning that I would love for you to see. I have included a few finished products from her blog, but please visit to see how exactly she came up with these ideas and her process, brilliant!! Also Michelle Wooderson works her magic as well and comes up with some very lovely creations of her very own!!
Nikki Estes has a beautiful card that she created on her blog from The Madra Design Collection Fruitful.
What a talented lady, I love the color combo and the soft edges.
Nicole posted a sneak peek on her blog this morning that I'm very proud of ;) It's been quite the wait to actually have the official release on Papertrey, but it's finally here! The Madra Design Collection is growing and growing on PTI and I'm excited to share this new set with you! I would love to see what some of the cruise passengers created already!! We only have a few more days to wait.
