It's like baby-ville around here lately. That's right - don't adjust your set - you've arrived at the right blog. I just don't normally do all that many baby cards. But my cousin and his wife are expecting a baby soon and I needed a card for the shower next month. By some strange cosmic interference, the colors this week at Dynamic Duos and the latest retro sketch were absolutely perfect for what I had in mind.
All I can say is good thing I bought some baby stamps recently. I think this is the third baby card I've made this year alone. And that's saying something - because I've had a long baby drought. Yesterday, of course, was the baby blog hop in Rita's honor and today I switched gears to make a boy card in lovely shades of blue.
The hand stamp is from Baby Prints which I embossed in white. The "baby" stamp is from a retired sentiment set called All Year Cheer II. I did a little zig-zag stitch around my tag, just because I love doing that and I think it adds a little pizzazz to something that would otherwise be kind of blah.
I'm so glad you took the time to stop by! See you soon!
super cute Jen!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Jen! I love the little border on the side of your tag and that stitching! Those colors really are awesome; I had to make 2 cards with them and still want to do another one!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love how it's all blue except for the handprint! The stitching around the tag is wonderful! So glad you played RetroSketches this week Jen!
